Valadares

Uff, no updates since a while! Unfortunately in the last weeks we barely had internet connection, and it is normally everywhere very slow…
After we spent 2 beautiful weeks on the island of Florianópolis we traveled to Alfredo Chaves (Espírito Santo), but couldn’t catch good weather there, only some heavy thunderstorms. Then, a few days ago we arrived to Govenador Valadares (Minas Gerais), where we are enjoying the hospitality of the local club (AVVL), who invited us to perform aerobatics during the upcoming Valadares Open FAI2 XC competition, which every year brings a lot of pilots here from all over the world.
Till now the flying conditions were not great, the season was pretty rainy, but since we arrived the weather started to be better and it was possible to practice acro or fly shorter cross countries. I also couldn’t stand out not to leave my acro wing at the hotel and fly a 60 km distance. I love to fly XC as well, but I flew only with acro gliders in the last year so I couldn’t do it at all, but here I will be able to play a little bit. However, it’s also incredible to make acro from cloudbase in front of the giant rock face, Ibituruna!
