I've just launched as the fog rolls into Burketown. |
|
 |
Looking towards the coast from 400ft. The salt flats are covered in fog
|
|
 |
A sea of mist with a MG wave on the horizon. This is the wave I want to catch. Its about 30k's away at this point.
|
|
 |
Looking down on the Albert River from 400ft with mist flowing gently over the trees and out over the water.

I've landed at the Albert River mouth. Its soft and muddy. I'm still in my harness, the undersurface of my hangglider is at the top of the picture. I was only here 10mins before I relaunch to catch the MG but later I find I'm covered in sandfly bites.

I flying on a small MG heading back to Burketown. You can see its shadow in the foreground. In the distance the fogbank that still covers Burketown. Shortly after this photo was taken all the clear air between this MG and the fogbank turned to mist. I was forced to land

I've landed. I'm looking back towards the coast. I'm only 6k's from Burketown now. The sky has cleared and I relaunch shortly after. The diagonal line is the side wire of my hangglider.
