The photo is of Andrew coming towards the beach to land. Note the overcast weather.
It was about 16 knots when we arrived and quite gusty. I lost height in "punchy" conditions and went to the beach quite quickly.
Russ (a friend of Greg's) and Andrew landed shortly afterwards. Andrew had top landed and re-launched.
Greg picked us up and it had eased off a little so we took off again and I did not get up above the hill so after a few turns I headed for the beach and landed near the tent in the photo, to the North of the lagoon.
It was now raining lightly so we did't have another flight.
