Another nice and sunny day here in Puerto Naos. Already from the morning we could the North wind which was stronger than the other days, but according to local weather expert Roger Frey the conditions looked good. The organsation is getting even better and we were a bit earlier launch today than yesterday. On launch we were given a task of 27km. The goal was to do as many rounds as possible within 2.5h. Despite the strong winds the flying conditions were really nice at the beginning of the task. However as we approached the 3. turnpoint the North wind came in and made it really turbulent and dangerous at certain spots. I was almost being sucked into a convergence like cloud and had to fly far out over the see to find sink….quite interesting. That meant that the task was stopped after around 40 mins. of flying. If today is scored we will see later, but we have all given our gps’s for download. Now we just had a nice swim in the ocean (only 21. degrees) and later the organisation are hosting a Pealla party for us. Life is good.

We are testing a live tracking system developed by some Italians. The Top 13 pilots are flying with a special tracking device. Follow the flights here:
