3300m and 5m/s thermals

Another good day with strong climbs though an increasing wind after around 4pm.

The first flight was a nice float about with climbs only to around 2300m.  On the second almost everyone flew straight into the abundant lift and got near base and went towards Barco.  I went a little north and had a mega climb and took a nice line back towards Piedrahita, but less than half way back hit the wind.  Most chose to land at Barco due to the wind, with Pavel going up to Puerto Castilla.

A nice evening flight but too E to make it really interesting.
