PWC Brazil day 3




We arrived at launch and were solidly in the clouds.... I just stayed on the bus and relaxed and listened to music... no sense wandaring around launch when I could stay nice and comfortable in a reclining soft seat... After a few hours I walked up and joined the pilot meeting just starting... see the first picture. Looks good lets go race!! They cancelled the task shortly there after and after waiting for a break in the clouds we all flew down rather than endure a long bus ride back down the mountain to GV.... The 2nd pic is the main GV landing field next to the river which runs through the city. The 3rd pic is of some local wild life grazing in the landing field. When I took this picture, the little baby was just sound asleep in the grass with over 100 paragliders landing all over the place, flying right over her head, and landing right next to her..... One of the first things this little baby saw after birth was probably a paraglider flying over head....

Relaxed by the pool this afternoon, and by this evening I'm feeling pretty much 100% again... Weather forcast is really crummy so hard to say what kind of flying we will get the rest of the week....
