No clouds.  Hazy sky and not much wind down at the chalet.

 Down for breakfast at 8.00, and off to fly at 8.45.  We went to fly at Old Pantelemonas. 

Here you can fly down over a deserted village, (Old Panteleimonas) and land down on a bottom landing field, or you can go on and fly down to the beach.  Flying down to the beach, you have to be careful of the main road and the high power wires.  Soon it will also be the new railway line that is being constructed.

The bottom landing field.  Very hot, and the straw was a real pain as it tangled the lines.

This is a view from the top landing field down to the coast.  You can see the old village of Panteleimonas in the centre of the pictre.  The landing field is left and above the centre of the picture

Take off point, and landing point.  Claudio and Stelios are in the picture.  I do not know who the pilot was.

I had three flights down to the bottom landing field.  These were alpine takeoffs because of the low wind speed.  The air was smooth to for the first flight, but getting a little more bumpier by the third flight.  The vertical drop was 1,627 feet.  Each flight lasted around 6 minutes.  I did several 360s and used the speed bar.

No more flights for the day, as it was considered too thermic.

For supper I had roasted Feta cheese, and souvlaki, couple of beers and ouzo.
