Linda's Day!

I was going to head to the mountains today to take Mac's wife Linda for a tandem flight but thought it might be best to give Dallas a try so that he could get some practice in at the same time. When we arrived, Paul had just had a short flight and the wind was backing off so Mac pulled out his Arcus5 and got some very productive kiting time in.

I took a new Sport4 demo for a test flight up and down the ridge and the wind was getting stronger so I landed and got the tandem set up.

After a nice launch assist from Paul, Linda and I were soon soaring along the ocean bluffs, taking in the views back over Victoria on this beautiful Sunday afternoon.

Definitely not that common for the relatively few tandem passengers I take here, so it was definitely her lucky day!

After landing softly with Linda, I had a couple more short flights on the Sport4 but the wind was lightening so I landed, packed up, and called it a day.
