Japan -day 12: Kuratake

Luckily I let myself convince by Rick yesterday to stay another night here on Amakusa. His forecast (once more!) proved to be accurate and the day turned out to be excellent - a 'Hammertag' as we call it ;-)
I had an easy launch at 1100 and flew for a little over 2 hours: cloud base rose steadily and lift was strong and more than abundant.

Flying for many more hours would certainly have been possible, but due to a very lousy night I landed shortly after 1400. But what a beautiful flight area this is!!

Tomorrow Rick is sending me to Uono /Yatake and for my last day here on Kyushu (Sunday) he thinks that Zojiro might be worth a visit..
