Ager tasks 1 & 2 and a blown out day

We have had two good tasks on the first 2 days of the Pre Europeans in Ager. Personally I went conservative on the first task and ended up 18th. Went harder on the second but passed up lift getting near the end wanting stronger and had a picnic for 45 min getting back up. Made goal but after another 5 hour flight, am back in 20th overall. Both tasks were similar to tasks in '94 and the '95 Worlds when I flew here last.


Launching on Montsec
Gorge crossing.
Crossing the line at Goal day 2.



Blay (El Nino) is leading with his father, Blay snr, doing well also.



The second task had us crossing a spectacular gorge both ways. It is basically unlandable. Today was windy and stable. Camo, H, our Catalan driver Mar and I went kayaking in the same gorge.


We found the frogs diving in the lake from and old bridge. H has Laurent Thevenot as a figurehead on her kayak.
