Today was for most of the pilots in our group the last flying day of this trip. They'll drive tomorrow morning with Mauro to Curitiba, from where they'll fly to GRU in order to join their flights back home. Only Andy, Röbi and I'll be staying a few more days...
But back to today: at 1030 we left together with Sergio for the local flying site (Morro Pelado). The local PG club has there a with great care prepared and maintained flying site: nice TO with a 4WD access road; a huge LZ with many windsocks and a nice club house with a bar.The conditions have been very weak, so most of us had only sled rides.
Then Sergio guided us to "Praia Vermehlo", a beautiful beach about 45mins from Gaspar. Here the conditions were absolutely perfect (windspeed 25-30kph). Everybody was able to make an extended soaring flight. Michelle-after having made her first high altitude solo flight this morning on Morro Pelado - added her first 2 soaring flights. Congrats! and don't let the small mishap stop you enyoing flying.
In the evening then Sergio had prepared for us in his home an excellent dinner consisting to Hannes' (and other's) delight mostly of freshly BBQed tender meat (Churrasco) -contrary to Tobias', the vegetarian in our group...
If you happen to stay in/ near Gaspar (with or without paragliding) then I certainly can recommend Sergio's place.
