Monarcas on a rest day

Today wasn't looking too flash for flying with flat grey skies.  So after checking in at HQ we opted to head to the Monarca sanctuary for a hike and to see the butterflies.

Those who went to Penon had to wait for a long time for it to turn on.  Those who launched early sunk out into the Piano; by 3pm it had turned on and pilots were flying back to the Lake, with some pilots heading out towards the Monarcas as well.  Reports of a tandem in the trees below launch at Penon as it was no-wind-launching conditions at one point.  And once again we saw a glider and reserve being dried out in the Lake LZ :)
