Spring Flying - Benny 16.03.2021

 

XC season has definitely started in the Fraser Valley. Sweet but slow triangle from Benny (47km, 3:50). First Pete chases me, then he takes a short cut at Pattison and I chase him. Strong climbs (none-averaged +6m/s) along the first leg. Later thick high overcast comes in and requires 'survival' scratching to find some weak thermals and makes for a slow return trip. Climbs are not very high so the route over the back is out of the question (mostly around 1200 m). At the end a very curious juvenile eagle comes a bit too close for my comfort over Dewdney. Thankfully very little wind. 

 

Good News on the Vaccine Roll Out - March 1

 

Good news on the vaccination roll-out: BC extends time between the two vaccinations to up to 4 months. This should speed things up! Lack of vaccine shipments from producing countries means Canada's progress is rather slow, nowhere near US and UK but comparable with many of the EU countries.
