Lanzarote - fly -swim - fly

Sam gets some air in the pool

Don't ask........

Blue sky greeted us as we got up and the tempature moved upwards. The day started with a spectacular failure in the boiled egg comp, Marks turn tomorrow. Arriving at Macher it was already breezy but dooable. The guys were reluctant so they pushed me forward, oh well it was a chance to fly so off I went on Mark F's Buzz and had a fun time looking down on the wierd clouds rolling in from the sea. Seemed fine to me but to be fair conditions were on the change and whilst some other pilots flew our boys gave it a miss in favour of waiting till later in the afternoon.

Lisa put in some usefull ground handling before we headed back to the villa to make use of the pool and had a fun afternoon before heading back up the hill. Mark, James and myself all had some flying and some exercise so working on our stomach muscles. We then went for the glide angle comp as the wind went off but after I managed to get off in a fair cross wind the wind went from over the beck so making the rest unable to launch and me landing on the fast side.

An evening "off" saw us eating out in the "port" and amazingly not even the mention of a "BP".
