Jaca - Week 3 - Day 4

Today was forecast to be the best day of the week with some good thermal soaring to be had. We got the gliders ready before briefing and then waited until around 12:30 to start flying. We all flew in the end.

Ayala had fun running a line of thermals at high speed into the mountains to the west and back a couple of times with John.

Mike T had fun rock polishing around the snow line with Bob.

Richard also had fun rock polishing with Bob.

Mike and John had a low save early on in stage 2 followed by a run west towards the Yesa Reservoir and back along a cloud street, then played around at the mountain tops as cloudbase rose to 8500 feet.

Jon B had fun soaring around stages 1 and 2 with Bob.

Tonight's plan is to go to Restaurante El Porton in Jaca town. It looks like we should get more good flying in tomorrow with the weather closing in again at the weekend.
