Stolen moments…

Towing in Mexico is awesome…

You never know unless you go out and see for your self sometimes…thats how the morning started out.  A little cloudy, but showing signs of breaking up.  After getting the text that some people were going out to go towing, I dragged my willing friend from out of town out to chase the weather with me.  A little background on my buddy:  he is my best friend, he trusts me quite a bit…maybe a bit too much as several years ago he volunteered to be my first paraglider tandem passenger…on MY very first tandem flight…so fitting then, that he come take a flight with me on this questionable morning, now that I know what I am doing!

We left the house and drove through light rain under light grey skies for a short bit, and as we pushed west, the weather began to break up quite nicely and got sunny.  By the time we arrived at the designated tow spot, we were rewarded with blue skies and early morning cumulus clouds setting up right along the tow road!  As it came time for us to tow up our tandem paraglider, a thin layer of clouds had moved in overhead.  Still very sunny just east of us, we decided to go ahead and give it a whirl…It turned out to be one of the coolest paraglider towing experiences I have ever had.  I am really happy to be able to have shared this with my best friend.
