40 km per hour northeasterly winds at the coast. Still flying just inland with a southern breeze. Had my bike out to go for a ride inland, told my pilots it was probably not a flyable day, forecast was crap, and winds were starting to kick in way too strong at the coast. Damn, some of them left for the Island of Tabarca, and couldn't get back in time for the flying. Hope they enjoyed the boattrip though, and the island by itself is gorgeous and unspoiled. A must actually if you are here. So off with a small group to go fly. We flew, but of course it didn't feel 100% relaxed. I was constantly looking at windsocks, spotting smoke in the valley to make sure all was still fine for flying. But ! Another flying day in Alicante, when you were swearing it was not.
