Lanzarote Photos

I took a break from my regular web work today and finally dug up some photos from my trip to Lanzarote in November and posted in them in the photo gallery.

That trip really was an interesting one - certainly lots of memories. Looking at those pictures reminded me of how different the landscape was out there - it's a unique part of the world that's for sure. Too bad the wind was so strong out there - the views from a paraglider would have been amazing.

The only images of flying I have are from a sled run I did out there. 4 sled runs in total, around 5 minutes each - after one week everyone except for me left only with this. I did get that ridge soaring flight on the last day which ended badly, but I could have done without that...

Maybe that's why I don't really care that Dune Du Pyla is just ridge soaring - my longest flight to date is only 1.5 hours. After 2 years of flying, frankly that sucks. Right now my logbook looks like this:

- Total Number of flights: 124
- Airtime: 20 hours
- Number of flights out in Cochrane: 63
- Number of sites flown: 16

I like picking numbers apart, and the airtime to total flights ratio irritates me. But then you look at the number of 1.5 minute flights I've had out in Cochrane, and it all makes sense.

This weekend I'm launching a new website template for a site I hope to make BIG. Better get back to work.
