Stability Sux!

Up until yesterday the weather has been nice...for non paraglider pilots that is! Hot and stable with not even ridge soaring potential has been the name of the game out here. Admittedly it's been getting to me a bit which has resulted in a bit of grumpiness on my part...

As soon as paragliding isn't fun anymore, I try to distance myself from the sport for a few days, and that's exactly what I've done. I spent a few days in Vancouver with a friend looking around at the sights and sounds and playing tourist. I'm not a Vancouver convert, but Vancouver is what it's cracked up to be. The weather is pretty hit and miss, but the city has grown on me and I can now see why so many people call it home.

Yesterday I went to Harrison to check out some sand sculptures with a friend. There was some sort of competition held with the best of the best, who could create masterpieces including my favourite:

As an artiste of the sky, I thought I would also try to express myself through sand. The result:

Today was overcast, tomorrow looks the same, and then the rain moves in. I'll fight tooth and nail to get some tandems in, but it might be a bit of a longshot with base so low. Gotta keep the faith tho!
