But today has been (finally!) a really nice day here in Maitencillo! Strong (almost too strong for me) westerly winds permitted nice soaring up and down the coast. I didn't topland, as the wind speed seemed beyond my 'comfort zone' -though it might have just been doable (but why take any risk?) - as there is beach everywhere ;-)

We used 'Aire Libre' for our launches, about 5 minutes from 'Hostal Maitencillo' our accommodation. But landing on 'Aventura' would also have been an option to avoid sinking out to the beach.

Tomorrow at 0700 we'll be departing for Santiago, as most have their return flights around noon. For the remaining 5 days of my trip Ralf has found me a guide (Miguel). He'll pick me up at SCL when we return the rental car.
