The task was to fly from the NW coast of Lanzarote downwind to the
southerly end with Playa Blanca as goal (LanzaXCamp). We, Kathleen Rigg, Damien
Zahn and I, all made goal but all at different places.

Damien landed at the wrong one of two roundabouts, Kathleen just lost the magic
thermal and landed at the other but correct roundabout, and I just on another
canary island. Three times I was in perfect position to go on final glide 15 km
over open water to wait for the others to join. The third time then and after
having watched everybody land I could not resist anymore! With 1,200 msl
and right over the coastal edge of Playa Blanca I topped out with 30 kph
tailwind from the north.

It was a cracking day even with cu's on final and over the ocean. I could even
make two 360° turns right in the middle of the sea street to lengthen this
joyride!

I have never seen such a good flying day with such crystal clear views on
Lanzarote island! But the next LanzaXCamp will come for sure.
