(Wind) Campanarios

After 2 non-flying days due to wind, finally the first really good flying day :-))
Taking off from Campanarios, nice thermals got me to nearly 550m over launch.

Campanarios: Hart setting up
Villa Mamita (where we stayed this time)
With that much altitude I decided to attempt a flight to Tazacorte - something so far I have not yet been able to do from Campanarios. Thanks to the excellent conditions I made it even against a slight head wind :-)

looking North: Los Llanos
Puerto Tazacorte

It's amazing how fast the conditions can change here on the island: just about 1 hour after my landing the wind increased quite a bit and it would have not been flyable any more.
