We escaped for the weekend. Voted off the island. Friends arranged for a new experience: soaring, flying without an engine. It was an extraordinary day, and I will remember it forever. What an amazing feeling! Silence, with only the whispering of the wind, and the sing-song of the altimeter… Thanks to my pilot, Don!

This all happened at the Hope Airfield, in BC. If you are interested, contact the Vancouver Soaring Association.
