Weekend Barbeque

Saturday we met with friends from college for our yearly BBQ event at the Dornach castle. We were lucky and missed the rain. It rained all morning but cleared out in the afternoon and stayed dry the rest of the night. A very enjoyable event - as always.

A couple nice flights

Marcus had a couple of nice flights this past weekend. Saturday was a day that required using the wave lift to cross the southern Black Forest until the connection with the thermals was made near Winzeln. Managed to climb in the wave up to 9.000 feet. Here is the link to the flight file:

And some pictures from the flight:
