Ecuador is a very welcoming country with amazing beaches and
ridges. Conditions very consistent every day with winds from SW, covered sky in
the morning and sunshine afternoon. Very similar to Chile.
For Task 1 the conditions died down, but it was still good, predictable with
less white caps and gusts on the ocean. Pilots who didn't slow down had to land.
One guy had a hard landing at the street right beneath the ridge. But it has
four lines with less traffic, just a power line to the beach side to get over.
Conditions during Task 2 were better with consistent wind the whole run until
sunset. It was a close race with 2-time winner Daniel Velez. My lowest altitude
was 21 m AGL. Too bad the ridge isn't longer.
