finally back at base over La Union ...
Schafen Wolke - a cloud with my name on it ...
until I got distracted by chasing men! ;-)
& nearly went for a swim in the La Victoria floods! :D

A really good fun day, flying a big square in the valley :)
But, so much to relearn after the long 'time-off' from flying cross country!
#1: Don't get distracted from the glide to a nice fluffy cloud & race into a blue hole - chasing men is easier from cloud base! :D
#2: Don't try to make pictures when I am 50m above the floods with no glide out :-/
#3: Fires really are the last resort before going for a splashdown in the floods ... but it takes ages to get the ash out of the glider
#4: When the men mentioned above go on a death glide into the caña go with them ... they 'probably' will get up somehow & if not the walk out will be an 'adventure'!
#5: Flying into a 'Pacifico' headwind will put me on the ground very very quickly ... even though my wing is fast, its not that fast!

Mañana mas ... :)))))))
