day1 in mexico

10am in the morning here. We got in last night and settled in.

This morning there is quite a lot of mist, and it's not cleared as of yet - looks like it might hand around all day :-(

We've got a bit of a paramotor shortage though, so probably the best time to have a crap weather day. Michael (the owner) was expecting a bunch of new paramotors apparently, but they've not turned up, so all we've got is a bit of a rag tag bunch of machines gathered from here and there. I think the count is about 6 - with 3 additional ones that are really knackered.

There are 10 of is in total, so I think we'll be fine. It will take a bit of adjusting since they are all high hang point things. We've already adjusted our brakes in readiness.

Jeff Goin (the instructor) is arriving this evening, so today we'll just have to see if the fold burns off and take it from there.

It's not particularly warm it has to be said - and of course I've only packed shorts and t-shirts (it's a holiday!! it's a matter of principle).

anyhoo, hopefully I'll get a flight in by the end of the day.
