Update Finally











Here is a quick update for the last month we have been flying. I can't believe that it has been a month. The weather has gotten a little better, but for a good part of June, we had wind. When the wind finally quit, we had thunderstorms. So, short flying windows have been the norm this month. We have had some afternoon flying, but minimal.




Soon, I will be leaving for the competitions in Washington state. Lake Chelan is one of the best thermal and cross country flying sites in the world. On the eastern slope of the cascades, on the bank of the Columbia river, Chelan butte will be the start for the US Nationals from JUuly 10th to the 15th, and after that the Paragliding World Cup will be taking over. Some of the best pilots who fly the World Cup regularly will be there. It will be exciting to fly with these guys.




The dates are from the 17th to the 24th. I think there are a couple of practice days and then the 6 day event. I will be blogging. Hold me to it, as long as I have a computer connection. So, please check daily starting on the 8th of July.




Here are a few pics from the last month of flying.




Cheers
