I had a very nice flight of a winch launch (still a novel feature of gliding at Worcester) and ended running the convergences and sea breezes down to Swellendam and Stormsvlei. Flew myself into a bit of a corner on the way back ... and the day shut down early. Definitely a bite in the air as the sun sets.
in the morning the low cloud was sitting on the western slopes of the mountain passes, and in the late afternoon one could see them flowning over the mountain tops with the higher cu beginning to decay.
In the meanwhile, and in another hemishpere, it is spring. In Vinon EX (flown by Volker Fiebig) has just posted his first flight on Friday - SOOO wish i was there.
