Practice Day

Fantastic first full day of flying at Canoa!! They have lengthened the course a bit from the last two years and have us flying further north out along cliffs with no landing possibilities. It's pretty scary flying across the flat town of Canoa, ending up at the cliffs low with no place to land just trusting that the lift will be there. I tried the course twice yesterday and scared myself pretty good the first time, arriving much lower than I would have liked.
Lots of new faces here this year.  This is Pablo who is the nephew-in-law of Felix Ruelle.  Pablo and I actually met in Cucco this summer where he was learning to fly.  He's a great kid!  


There go the boys, racing down low!
