Teneriffe (TFS) -1 (Güimar) / Taucho

Sunset from our appartement (Mon, 26.1.)

Tue (27.1.) We woke up to a clear, blue sky. After having done some shopping, where we also encountered a tandem pilot, who told us that we couldn't expect much here at Taucho, but that Güimar seemed to be looking good, we started driving North. Shortly after passing the airport (TFS) low clouds started to apppear, getting denser and lower the more we approached Güimar - so no luck there. After having taken something to drink, we turned around, heading South. But by now these clouds had also spread to Taucho and cloudbase was below launch...

low clouds over Conde

Only later in the afternoon this cloud-layer started to lift and dissipate, So we headed up to Taucho - as did every pilot here  - at least it felt that way ;-)

After a good launch I headed out for the LZ; unfortunately I couldn't find any usable thermals, just some reduced sink.

...probably the only grass-covered LZ here on the Canaries...

For dinner we went to a Sushi bar, Hartmut and Gaby had discovered last evening while having a stroll exploring the surroundings of our appartement.

...pretty good for Spain: all you can eat for 25EUR/person...
