The Day after the night Before - Mexico Day 15

Despite last nights antics the house stirred early and even Wayne made an appearance at an acceptable time, very impressive.  Gordon went off to sort out what went on yesterday and the rest did domestics, then we were  "ready".

Carl does a magic dance to help us

It works, that's another glider out of the comp" :)

Hi-me's truck has now taken on a mind of its own and we seem to be stuck in 2nd gear so not the fastest piece of kit on the road but still sturdy and strong, even if it does drink fuel faster than Wayne drinks tequila! We have taken to using the "other" garage to miss the quest, well that is the excuse, the fact that Carl goes in everyday and puts an extra 10 pesetas on his phone cordoned the girl giggles and he smiles has nothing to do with it at all. Gordon just grins :)

They must have seen our antics last night as dancing is now banned on the hill

The sky is full of cumulus as we drive up the hill and Hi-me expresses doubt about the task as set, local knowledge is a wonderful thing.  We rig I am back on 66, think it is my destiny. Wayne is back by the cars which in fact is a good place to be with easy access and plenty of shade. the rest are on or near the front with Steve on early bird.

The microlight returns for some low passes

Pilots brief, safety input, task change, timings set and we go back to our gliders.  Re brief  we go back, new task s on the board, safety input ------ day is canned, pilots clap.

Canned

It's not all bad

Some fly with Grant Wayne and Carl launching whilst the rest of us opt to de rig and drive down.  The radio cackles and it sounds like they having fun with lift everywhere, should we have tasked ??

it is all too much zzzzzzz

Trafficing ???

We arrive back in Valle de Bravo and the weather looks nice but deteriorates quickly with showers around and it looks very grey off to the east where we would be flying, hmmmm. rain drops start to fall hope the guys aren't getting wet.

Looking a bit grey over the course

It's a really chilled afternoon, Steve tinkers with his glider replacing this and that, I tap away on the blog and catch up with some emails and Comp's panel stuff, Kaz does some embroidery and Gordon goes to sleep.

Blogging

 The fliers return having had fun but still not convinced it would have been the right thing to do to task, all three survived another landing although by all accounts belly landings were the order of the day and a bit more aluminium was added to the scrap pile.

I cooked it myself ...............

Gordons new pants

Some ate in, some ate out and some did both but all were tucked up in bed at a sensible time, canned days are always the most tiring as your emotions get all mixed up as things change quicker than them.
