Again is time for the winter race and this time it really
looks winterish. Snow is still in the dark places in the valley, rivers are
growing, it is cold and rainy with the forecast snow. In the morning I was
packing like I am not going anywhere. My boyfriend was joking all the time
about the weather conditions. But sooner or later we were on our way to Vipava
valley. You will never believe I went to one of my favorite flying spots
without my Spicy. I left it at home. My
friends promised they will bring him – my glider- when nice breeze shows up. I
don t want to have poor Spicy all wet on the rain the whole week, since I don t
even have a decent rain bag.
We stopped at Postojna airport restaurant, that is one of
our favorite after flying spots. Great
wine, awesome food and nice service keeps us coming back.
We came to Ajdovscina where we started with registration.
Unfortunally, because of bad weather not many pilots showed up. Primoz tested a glider at Lijak, so it was
possible to launch. Weather was bad but
for good night sun played a game with clouds while saying goodbye from the day.
Today it was again too rainy to make a competition day. But
rain still didn t turn off some pilots to go flying. We were trying local restaurants and wine. I
can t eat any more, but for a glass or two of this valleys wine I will find
some more place.
I am hoping the weather will get better soon and we will
make a nice race on Friday and Saturday. Tomorrow the forecast is strong NE
wind. So we are going to visit Postojna cave. I hope they still have the human
fish in there. I am happy to be at Karst.
