Valle Day 4: This day was all about SkyGod, Read Bixby, our new h2, first mountain flight, first foot launch specking out with the paragliders to over Launch than over the Peñón than over the Wall in a 195 WW Falcon 4.

He hit his personal best of 1:30hr.  It was another amazing day.

Fly Mexico guys are great - they helped radio assist Read to his personal best. Kurt Wimberg was rubbing his hands (signature move) together all day. We’ve nicknamed Takeo Eda - Wiki because he’s our resident Wikipedia - it’s great, that guy is a walking encyclopedia.

We all had trouble with Masayo Miyauchi name so it’s just Miya or m. That girl is so much damn fun socially and in the air. This Valle group fits like hand and glove.

Valle Day 5: It was another amazing day. Bet you're getting tired of me saying that. We all decided to launch a bit later and were still rewarded with great soaring conditions. Today was Efrain's last day with us and he got a great soaring flight to send him home. Our housekeeper continues to turn out great breakfast. Our evening are spent enjoying and debriefing and the Villas and at dinner. I had a great time buddying up with Kurt Wimberg as we soared up and down the range.

Valle Day 6: our flying day. We flew all six days. Today was high pressure and we could not get as high as on previous days. Nonetheless we all had a great time. Ellen McCleskey, h2, kept breaking her personal best and today she got over 8,000 ft and flew for 65 minutes. Needless to say she was over-the-moon with excitement. We would all like to thank FlyMexico (Jeff Jeffrey Hunt Hunt, Omar, Mark Vanderwerff, Damion Mitchell, Diego & Chris) for making this an excellent hang gliding vacation. We will certainly be coming back next year.
