Today we woke up to an almost cloud covered sky with a bit lower temperatures. After a rich breakfast Khalla drove us to Targa (yesterday's launch). Luckily the sun had enough power to burn away the humidity here and it started looking rather promising, albeit with a cloud base of only 200m above launch.
I had a good launch, but badly timed in regard to thermal activity, so my flight turned into a short sledder :-( The rest of our group all could profit from the conditions,
We returned to Iminifri, which sits on a huge natural 'bridge', then continued towards the launch nearby.
Unfortunately here was much more humidity, forming an almost complete cloud cover, thus killing all thermals as well as the wind.

With Danny's assistance I managed a clean (forward) launch in almost nil wind on the rather shallow slope. Again just a sledder, but this time not due to my 'inabilities', but the lack of good conditions...
