What about to fly over parched pans, salt lakes, look into the desert of Namibia, and to the mountains of Lesotho, fly along the Orange River, glow at the edge of the Kalahari desert and chase the wild winds ... These desires joined several pilots, who are just trying to fly across South Africa from the Atlantic to the Indian ocean. (---corrected machine translation---)

The weather forecast - windy day - was absolutly right. Time to dust off, have a rest, sleep and tomorrow we will continue. But man think and God change. According to the expectation the wind stopped, furthest gets Hugo in this absolutely stable air - about 1 km behind the road close to the airport. Due to this terms we spend Christmas Eve with Des and Arnold and several German and Namibian pilots. We all are now like their childrem. Nevertheless, tomorrow we have to fly away.
Conditions are very weak again, we fly up in this cloudyless termic with difficulties. All pilots sit down on the ground earlier than they reach 50 km. Only Víťa overcomes this critical distance and in gradually improving conditions fly 160 km long flight. By chance, after 4 hours of flying, he lands at the same place as a week ago.
We are on the way again!
