Caçapava (Sunday)

This morning we (Hannes, Daniel, Gregor and I) drove 280km to Caçapava do Sul (RS).
We hsd been told that this would be a site with excellent XC potential.
We left at 0610 and arrived shortly after 1000. Upon arrival, Gregor called Riodrigo (a local pilot) who picked us up within less than 10min amd guided us to the site. Here already a few students were inflating their wings on the lower slopes of this small hill. Marcel then took us and our gear in his SUV up the steep dirt road to the top, here TO is possible onto all quadrants of the compass. Although the altitide difference is only about 200m, it looks as if getting high shouldn't be too big a problem.
September is supppsed to be the best mpnth and flights up to 300 should be possinble...
But today the air was much too stable and not a single cloud was visible, so my fellow pilots could make only short soaring flights. I didn't have my wing with me as I came along as a (possible) retrieve driver,
( mit Nova bleibsch oba, mit Advance hast kei Chance und mit Sky gasch hei ;-)
We then went to a local Churrasceria where we onvized the locals to an (extended) lunch.
In the late afternoon we drove back to Sapiranga.
Many thanks to Rodrigo amd all the local pilots for being such amiable and openhearted hosts!
Muito obrigado a Rodrigo y todos/ -as pilotos/-as de Caçapava!
