Quixada - Day 1

After a short night (just 3 hrs), breakfast was set at 0550 and we departed around 0630.
The first pilots took off around 0830. Windspeed was unusally low for Quixada, so I got off very easily shortly after nine. Cloudbase rather quickly rose to 1200m, then 1400m, so most pilots headed East. Due to the circumstance (short/ lousy night) I landed after an hour below our hotel.

Around noon Arduino and Arnie returned from their looooong retrive from yesterdays flight (Arnie ca 170km/ Arduino ca 270kms) - not too bad for the first day I'd say...
