Oludeniz -2

Yesterday (Wednesday) Top of Babadag was in clouds, so everybody was taking off from '1200'. This launch has just recently been built exactly for this purpose: to permit flights when the higher launches are in clouds. But it is not nearly big enough to handle the huge amount of (tandem-) pilots wanting to launch here...

'1200'

So instead of awaitung our turn here, Hartmut proposed to go down to '300'.
This launch is - as its name implies - just 300m high. It's a rather difficult, technical launch: small, just rocks and bushes. As I didn't feel well enough to handle this tricky TO with not enough wind (for my liking) and also in pain, I declined to fly and together with Davis and Glenn we rode back into town. Hartmut and Bernd got off without problems and have even been able to soar up to about 1000m - cool guys!
