When I first heard that Guayaquil, Ecuador, was to be the site of
a Paragliding World Cup race, I was very skeptical that this would be an
appropriate site. Having flown there when it was first opened as a flying site
before heading up to Canoa for the ridge racing, I felt that it was really an
area with very weak thermal activity with lots of water nearby. Add to that the
low cloud base due to its proximity to the Pacific Ocean.

Again the task was canceled today and only two tasks have been flown since
Sunday.
