Already after 15 min I get to the end of the ridge. I look for a
good thermal to make cloud base and to set my turnpoint as far as possible off
shore. From 600 m I make it up to 1.200 m and I top out. Gliding over the sea
reminds me of flying at Stanwell Park playing the chicken game with Gerolf: the
pilot who turns around first looses. I am very happy that nobody of my Austrian
mates is now flying next to me - thank god!

After gliding 2 km over open water I turn around - chicken? With 20 km/h cross
wind from the right I head back enjoying this unique perspective view of
Lanzarote in front of me! I am now even closer to the little island of La
Graciosa about 1 km to my right. I am still 800 m high and easily I could fly
there looking for a thermal. But I am not pushing my luck to far! I just have an
eye on it if getting short and keep heading back.
