Flight details:
Arrived early with conditions a bit strong and a bit West.  Spent some time parawaiting and watching some interesting breakwater soaring! Steve and Paul bravely decided to be wind dummies and all looked good. Plenty of lift and forward speed, so I decided to follow.  Lovely conditions all the way to Brighton Marina, with the tide just starting to come in. Slow progress to Brighton but a bit quicker back!  Considered another run but the tide was quickly coming in, conditions seemed to be getting lighter and there were few landing options!  I decided to bumble about in great conditions for getting to know my newish glider and harness a bit more.  Landed on the beach to enjoy a quick ground handling session. Perfect day!
