Flight details:
It had been ballistic the previous week, Brian Steele told me. But, going first this time, he warned Jorgen and me on the radio that it was much harder work. Eventually he got back up above launch, and Jorgen got impatient and joined him. I struggled to gain more than about a hundred feet. After 20 minutes of scratching above jagged rocks, I decided that the risk wasn't worth the potential pleasure. Brian went on to do the milk run to Coursegoules and back -- the only one to make it that day. A nice lunch followed in the village, then tea in the landing field.
