More flying to report this past weekend, August 16th first: Saturday was an early day at Hammondsport due to other obligations but everyone that was there made the most of it for sure. Katrin, Karl and Rick were doing site work but I insisted it was flyable since Ryan was soaring his PG. We all set up and Mark went first and got up pretty easily. I took a long time to launch because Ryan and Mark were sinking out while I was in the slot. Finally I decided that if they could hang onto the ridge, well, I could too... so MOVE OVER...

We just arrived back on Mallorca after a full day of sailing from Menorca. Menorca is definitely my favorite of the two islands - much smaller and fewer people (although still rather touristy). We spent just two days there, but got to see quite a lot. Tomorrow we arrive back at the marina in Palma and have to give our little floating house back to it's owner. Sure has been nice.

Spending the day today on dry land...it's nice, but everything seems to sway ;-) Too little time online to say much of anything...just a few pics from the last few days. The night sail was awesome...we discovered there was a full moon and eclipse that night. Laid on the deck watching for a shooting star until my eyes wouldn't stay open any longer.

One more night on Menorca, then tomorrow morning we start the trip back to Mallorca. It's about 8 solid hours of sailing.

Here at Altes Lager, 60 km south of Berlin, we have covered skies and not a great forecast. So far we postponed the briefing to 13.00 hrs because the sky was covered, every now and then a shower. Maybe it will improve a little, maybe not. I would not mind a rest day today, because I have to fly with somebody elses harness and helmet, because Oli forgot my equipment at Skyline ;) at least he brought my glider! And Wolfi sent the harness up today, hopefully it will be here tomorrow.

Today I went up Rauschberg with Chrissy and Stephan to take some aerial shots from my glider. It was the only possible flying day with a bit of sun this week and we were lucky to catch it. At the moment there is already thunder and lightening outside, another huge front will roll through tonight. I really hope they dont get too much rain in Wuppertal, as they will launch the Red Bull X-Fighters event on Saturday. Motocross drivers won´t mind the mud, but the spectators I guess...

Tried to walk our pasta babies to death today...roamed all over Barcelona finding more Gaudi architecture. Most of it was much nicer than La Sagrada Familia (and yes, as a matter of fact I am the Spanish architecture critic!). Always on the lookout for graffiti, we found some decent stuff along with more mullets than I've seen in quite some time.

...great advice from Timothy.

We leave Barcelona tomorrow for Mallorca. In the meantime, we're
loving the city. Found heaps of cool graffiti in the old city I will
put up later.
