Gaspar - Morro Azul (Thursday)

This morning we drove from Floripa to Gaspar, about 2.5hrs.
The sky was overcast and it didn't look very promising...
We checked in at "Hotel Raul", whose owner (Sergio) is a keen paraglider pilot.
The hotel looks very nice and is quite a step up from the somewhat grumpy accomodation we've had for the last 3 nights.
After lunch some blue holes appeared in the sky and Sergio guided us to "Morro Azul", a PG site 1.25hrs from Gaspar. This site has an excellent access road, a very well mantained TO and a large LZ with a small bar - what else can a pilot ask for?
I "avoided" all the thermals and had too land rather too soon for my liking.
Tonight I'm looking foreward to a large piece of medium-rare (mal passado) filet...
