IQQ - Alto Hospicio

Pick-up at 1030 by Christian for a flight from Alto Hospicio, the local morning site.
Great conditions with just the right amunt of head wind for an easy launch. Towards the end of the flight, the thermals have become pretty strong (+5 m/s), but this made crossing the city to Play Brava, the beach near my hotel rather easy.

For the afternoon I had planned to go to Palo Buque again; Christian told me he'd pick me up by 1530. But for reasons unknown to me he never showed up (and the telefon number he had given me didn't work either...) But maybe the wind was just too strong...
Slowly the rest of my group is arriving; we'll meet tonight,
