Landing backwards
      12/04/04 07:29 AM

I had told the friends we were taking on our most recent trip of the great fun of bouncing around as you skimmed the top of Le Tormente. Yet, having overnighted in SXM (which is a long story - then again, isn't it usually a long story when any of us overnight in SXM?) we left for SBH in the early morning.

Given that there were no thermals that early, we circled past Le Tormente, over the east side of the island and swooped into land over the baie. Way, WAY cool. I had never done that before. The view of the east part of the island, and then Baie St Jean as it got closer and closer was really pretty special.

There is something magical about bouncing in over Le Tormente. But landing backwards is kind of cool too, for a change...
