Tricky day

The take off seen from above.


Gliding out south.

I landed close to a house on the countryside.

The nice man who gave us a ride.


Today, the flying was trickier, with few thermals due to high cirrus clouds casting shade. Nevertheless, I and a few other pilots scratched around in the little lift we could find, staying up for almost two and a half hours. When I landed, I had only covered 18 kilometers from start, but it was still a nice, if challenging, experience.
The British pilot Doug landed close to me, so together we hitchhiked back with a friendly Brazilian gentleman.
