The forecast for the day was good. In the morning we could actually see blue
sky. Lots of clouds of all varieties, of course, but still the promise of a
better day.

orange juice and two eggs over easy,... mehr

I'm getting a lot of appreciation down here in Colombia and a lot of support
from the pilots. They are very welcoming. It turns out that the Oz Report has a
big following in Colombia and pilots appreciate me coming down as a
representative of the Oz Report and reporting on their competition. I didn't
realize that the Oz Report had such a... mehr

Four or five pilots did fly after the rainstorm on launch and before the second
rainstorm on day 4. Of course the task was over by then with few if any pilots
really getting out on the course line. A number of pilots had difficult landings
although Daniel who spoke of the rock and roll air... mehr

I had a chance to ride Mike Glennon's mountain bike around town last evening and
boy that was exciting. I knew from being in the car when we go to launch that
the narrow streets and tiny sidewalks are filled with bicycles, motorbikes,
scooters, cars, trucks, buses, horse carts, and pedestrians. And there is a lot
of interaction in many... mehr

Here's a short video of an eagle attack in Forbes, in the last
competition day. Unfortunately, the video shape is not the one I wanted, due to
my first attempt with a not-well-fixed Drift camera that slid vertically during
the flight :http://vimeo.com/20634196 mehr

http://danielvelezbravo.wordpress.com/We are up on launch before 9 AM. There are three layers of clouds. The cirrus
almost completely covering the sky dome, thick mid level clouds over the
mountains to the east for the most part but scattered around, and cu's popping
below us and on the hillsides both east and west. Bits of... mehr

Why am I here in Colombia? Because the locals would like to get some
international exposure to the world wide hang gliding community. They feel that
their competition and their sites deserve to be known outside of South America
and they want to encourage pilots from around the world to come, not just to
Brazil but to Colombia also.Mike... mehr

We're up and about at 6:30 AM, with a high overcast sky, completely gray. Still
there are cu's under the overcast as there are every day here (so far) no matter
what the sky looks like up high.

Why not the hang gliding forum? Why not individual pilot blogs? Why not Facebook
or Twitter?The Oz Report is a news source for the world wide hang gliding community. When
something happens in the community you are most likely to hear about it first at
the Oz Report. The Oz report collects the news from many different sources (hang
