This was my second landing ever on my own (not a test model) Golden2 wing. After a 30 min. flight, were I got off the ridge once and managed to get back up again, I've decided to come land close to my buddy,facing the sun, so that he could take a few hasty shots with a small digicam.

While driving to the shooting range, I come across this 'baby',right in the middle of the gravel road.And yes,I did rescue it (as I always do),by picking it up (tail handled) and releasing it in the bushes nearby,away from the road.It wasn't that easy thou - it was noon and a warm snake is a fast one.

Here is a old pic I took last year, while on a short vacation close to our house. The storm was still out to see, but the waves already began pounding the shore. Would you believe - only a few hours before the picture was taken, we all where swimming ! The southern coast of Africa is a very unpredictable place what shipping is concerned. One moment 'everything is just fine' and the next, 'all hell breaks loose'.

" " Yesterday I went flying with a old buddies of mine. It wasn't a particularly good day for soaring, nevertheless good enough for a few minutes of 'peace'. Next week my new glider should be here and that, will make this picture even more worth because, it may very well be my last flight on the Bolero.
