Each day dawns with a clear blue sky but today the forecast was a little different. A northerly wind of about 10kt was forecast on one chart but then it seemed to be easterly on the next chart, so by the time I launched I was ready for anything. The day was largely blue with small cumulus about 10km south of the big mountains. The trick was to get to one before it dissolved. If you got there in time, there was good lift, but in between you could find big sink. As usual the lift went up to over 12,000 feet but today it was harder work. The obviously conclusion when there is something you don't fully understand is to blame wave. Jaca changed from being a pussycat to somewhere where really scary things could happen if you weren't careful. Even though we were not doing mega distances everyone found the day interesting. We landed around 7:30 and headed off for Puento La Reina for dinner.
