XC Sertao
Our acclimatization to the Sertão is going smoothly. The conditions are quite unusual, with light wind and stable air in the mornings.
So, we’re adapting and staying resilient—which, according to Andy, is the most important thing to succeed here
To keep us going, Sebi and Stephi are keeping us motivated with some tough FAI triangle challenges.
And guess what? It's working! On Wednesday, Dorian and Sebi flew nearly 300 km triangles in completely opposite directions.
On Thursday, Philippe and Sebi did it again!
I'm doing my best to stick with them. After spending the first few days getting my bearings with a couple of 50 km flights, I closed a 150 km FAI on Thursday. Definitely moving in the right direction!
The vibe at camp is awesome, and we're totally focused on our next goals.
Excited for the days ahead. fingers crossed for a bit more wind
