Raining on My Parade
Sitting in Annecy in the rain...ho hum, ho hum. What's with the weather these days? I left Calgary in the rain, arrived in Geneva in the rain, had plenty of rain in Laragne and now here in Annecy it's pissing down rain again - what a drag!!!
My goal is to have the SAT nailed by the end of the week, and throw in some sweet assymetric 360's and big wingovers. Kind of seems like wishful thinking looking outside, but I think all paraglider pilots have to be and are pretty patient people. Rumour has it the weather will improve by Wednesday so I'll just have to sit tight for a bit.
Being overcast yesterday wasn't condusive to epic flying, but scratching around the ridge for 25 mins at Planfait (spelling?) was good practice. The day before I flew for about an hour, getting to base, fighting the winds up high to get anywhere on glide and then doing it all over again. Annecy is such a beautiful place, every flight is enjoyable.
Hopefully my next post will be as the SAT Queen!!!!!!!!!!!

Weather is the same here in Lauterbrunnen. Fog, cold, crap pissy rain. Supposed to get better tomorrow... fingers crossed. Nail that SAT... the silence that happens when you first get in it is bliss.
