Again it was a bit in the windy side.  There were clouds all around Mount Olympus.  I went swimming and sun bathing until 3.00.  It was finally decided that I could have a flight.  We went over to Old Panteleimonas.  I flew out and attempted a 360 in a thermal.  I think I left the turn a bit on the late side.  After that the rest of the flight was in sinking air.  At one stage I reached 8 (00 ft/min) down.  The air was really sinking fast.

Initially after take off, I had to use the speed bar to get away from the hill, flew through lift and tried to turn in it.  As I went through the sinking air, I tried weight shift only for turning.  The approach for landing this time did not require any 360 turns because I had lost so much altitude through the sinking air
