It was a Sunny Easter Sunday. The picture show Dave Bateman about to launch with Andrew next to him.
We arrived about 9 am and launched for the first time a bit after 9:30am.
My first flight after some trouble launching the speed wing ( a collapse from Andrew's wake). It was SSW bordering on 14 knots. The flight was only about 4-5 minutes and I landed on the beach.
Then I had 4 more flights of 17 minutes, 17 minutes, 37 minutes and 33 minutes. The breeze slowly moved to the E, i.e. from SSW to SSE and on the last flight when the wind was about 8 knots we were able to fly up to hell hole.
A great mornings flying taking me to 400 flights.
