Postscript to yesterdays post:
Martin Bühler (LI) flew 321km (OLC); his flight can be found here. Congratulations!!!
He and Frederico (retrieve driver) slept overnight in 'Independencia' and returned only during this afternoon.
Today (as forecasted by XCSkies) cloudbase was a little higher, thermals a little stronger and the wind from due East. Again we have been on launch (too) early so we had to wait a while for the winds to become less strong. I launched shortly before 1200 and it took me (as usual) alomost an hour before I reached cloudbase. From then on it was not too difficult to fly farther than yesterday.
I landed in 'Rodolfo Fernandez', not because I had to, but because the paved road ended there.
So it was an easy 15 minute ride with the mototaxi to Itaù, where our bus already waited for me...
