...a very nice day with little wind and (almost) no clouds. Hartmut has made 1 flight; I could make 2 :-)
Nice conditions on launch with some headwind. On the first flight thermals have still been a bit weak, so I landed after about 40 minutes. On the second flight thermals had been much stronger, but still very small: I needed to make tight turns (close to the mountain face) in order to center my climb. But I was able to fly out to Mirador de la Pena before landing at Los Sargos.

Today I also have been able to finally meet in person another of my contacts here: Renan. He has been very helpful in locating and correctly naming the flying sites here on el Hierro.
Dinner at 'La Pasada' another recommandation by Alvaro: this restaurant serves some typical local dishes: Lapas (Napfschnecken), Cabrito (Ziege)...
