Flying was awesome again yesterday at Crucita, but the landings weren't the greatest. The problem is that the flying is so great that you never want to land. And, unfortunately, the landing field gets smaller and smaller as the day went on. High tide was an hour later than yesterday, but it was still a few hours too early. There was very little beach left at 4pm when we all decided to land.

Most of us pulled it off ok anyway, but two landed in the surf. The first one was super scary because Jack and I were the only ones there to try to pull him out....and I am already quite afraid of the waves. By the time the second one came in, nearly all of us were on the ground and so we were right there ready to pull her out. The first glider was destroyed, the second one survived, just a little wet.

At another site few hours away the Canoa Ridge Race that starts on Thursday. I will try to do updates to the blog each night or at the latest, the next morning.

Lots of new people here this year - it's cool to see. Kris and Joe Greblo just arrived this afternoon and flew with us today. Also, Scott Orland, another LA pilot. Claudia from Colombia (Manfred's old girlfriend) is also here. So, I actually have some competition for the women's division this year ;-)
