Hope you're having a good time on the Big L!
We managed a quick outing this week so despite less than ideal conditions we got quite a few minutes in the air.

Another new recruit into the slope fun.

Great Skua had some objections to our presence but soon saw we were just hanging around. ;)

Your new friend doesn’t fly much like a “new recruit” Selleri. I’d say he’s been doing it some time! :clap:
It’s great when the birds come out to play with the models, isn’t it. A year or two ago our friends in Northern Ireland had an eagle join them whilst flying off the coast, :shock: and just last summer Big Keith found his MiJet being attacked by a Sparrow Hawk (Talons extended :( ) on its maiden flight. (The MiJets’ maiden flight, not the sparrow hawks’. …..Just thought I‘d point that out. :roll: )
Very dramatic scenery you have there. I noticed there were no topless women on the beach. Don’t Icelandic ladies like to get sun tanned?

Well, he isn't new in the modeling game(he owns the 50% Cub (http://www.gliderireland.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3401&highlight=hempel)) and has been on a few slope trips with us before. :wink:

Off white is the national skin colour of Icelandic people... with various shades of red when the sun arrives. +5° or + 15° it's all warm for us and time to do some tanning. ;)
The ladies(and gents) tend to assemble near concrete retangles that we fill with hot water and call swimming pools (http://www.swimminginiceland.com/) though only a minority does swim in them.
We've also got one beach we heat up (http://www.nautholsvik.is/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-715/).

Speaking off, stumbled upon this the other day... no idea where it's taken though.
