Balloon floating past the window.First thing this morning, a balloon floated past our balcony. Which was nice…

Sunny today, with strong winds (Tramuntana) at the coast and in the Ebro delta. The coast was having winds of 5/7 on the Beaufort scale, but it is high pressure, so perfect forecast for Santa Brigida.

We did some work and then tootled out, via the bank to pay for our ski season passes. It was perfectly on, although a little on the light side. After a spot of lunch we both took off and had a bit of a fly around. I got into the sink behind a thermal and went down, whereas Geoff was at the other end of the ridge and stayed up. He top landed and came to get me, but I wasn’t in the mood for flying again, so left him to it. He had another two flights, with conditions getting better and better. He chose to land at the bottom in the end.

Geoff’s comments: a classic Sta Brigida day. A little weak at first, but just got easier. My final flight had lift everywhere, thermals, but also what seemed to be valley lift. Took a while to get down.
