Another paragliding adventure! This was an amazing day once again. The report was bad, the conditions didn't look good, but I had a need to fly!
Let games begin!
The day started off with a free ride to the top.
@paleotreats, Dimitri, Chuck and My self checking our gear.
When it gets cooler you need to cover up.
Launching!
Wing check
I got to use a new flight instrument (variometer)
Quickly found a thermal and started circling with Dimitri
At this point I was watching Charles and Dimitri heading over to El Cap.
I decided to stay at the site.
The view looking down
Let do some touch and goes
Top landing requires a lot of practice
Again?
Dimitri made it back
Lets keep rolling with the top landings
@paleotreats had a bunch of safe landings
Video below!
Looking forward to meeting you tomorrow evening, God willing!
I'm going to look for you on Steemit Chat to see if we might exchange phone#s?
😄😇😄
Got it! I know you are a busy man this week. So if you don't make it no worries. Thanks for the "Creatr appreciates you" gif. See you soon.
Hey, loved the layout of this post. It's easy to scroll through and get an awesome feel of your flight.
What's a variometer?
Thanks for stopping by my friend!
A variometer beeps giving you an indication of whether you are going up or down. It uses a micro barometer. I should be getting an instrument panel today. A pilot friend of mine is going to sell me his "extra"

Oh cool. A little extra awareness. Looks cool. Don't drop it. haha
Thanks for sharing, keep on gliding and steeming!
Thanks for stopping by!
That was a lot of air time!
Thursday I am going North to Hemet to get my P3. I am pretty stoked. I will be able to fly at the famous Torrey Pines Glider Port.
