Sunday 21st April 2013
Sunday Morning: Today started out clear and sunny, although it has clouded over again now. yesterday and Friday were much cooler at 14C than the rest of the week which had seen temperatures in the low 20′s even up to 24C Thursday afternoon. We had to go to Javea early Monday morning to visit an office in the old town, which is a maze of narrow lanes, far too small for cars, so we had to park and walk in. Very pretty though.
There was a misty low cloud covering the sea and causing fog to form a way little inland on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, but up here we enjoyed the warm sunny and nearly calm conditions. Needless to say I did have a number of flights during the week, as well as continuing to clean the pool, which incidently reached 22C on Thursday afternoon and mow the terrace, which now looks like a lawn.
Wednesday and Thursday evenings I flew Skylark for 18 and 16 minutes repectivly, landing with an average of 3.84V remainaing in each cell of the battery, which means she could saftly streach to 20 minute flights in calm conditions.This morning I went out early to take advantage of the unexpected calm and sunny start to the day and flew each of these models, The Skylark, The Pioneer and the Bixler before the easterly wind began again.
