As I woke & lay waiting for the sounds of wind gusting all around I was surprised by the silence ... the air was alive with noise of all the creepy crawly beasties but not a whisper of wind - yipeeeeeee!!
Friday proved to be my day for harness testing & boy did I have it set up all wrong :(

Launching from Pampoenfontein wasn't at all as we had been warned ... a light fluffy breeze & not a gust in sight made getting airborn a pleasure but getting 'settled' into the harness just didn't happen. What had seemed super comfortable hanging from straps turned into back-pain & pointy bits sticking in me while flying, so a valuable flight but not exactly a comfortable one!

"International-rescue" Porterville style ;-)
After calling 'international-rescue' to come rescue me from the hot sun, we spent a relaxing afternoon catching up with friends arriving from all-over, talking parabollix about EnZo's, certification and all that malarky and in spite of plans to get the harness re-adjusted just kept socialsing until it was way past bedtime!
