More of the same..

This week we continued flying in the area looking for good lift.

First, with Juan as co-pilot,  we we enjoyed several good thermals while climbing power assisted to 8'000 ft. The first 5'000 feet the thermals where good, as the engine was almost idle, from there after not to much.

When we got to Cerro Condorcote we stopped the engine, feather prop and worked our way back while looking for potential thermal spots. We found some but not wide enough for the speed of the Sinus (50kts) but I am sure para-gliders would do quite well. ~ +2m/s.

The day after, we climbed again with Mauricio, with similar results but we changed the return path to be on the other side of the valley to see how it looked. It was about the same.

Both days the weather was quite sunny, no clouds (as always in summer) with very little wind. All in all, no surprises.
