What happens when the wind stops... Nailed that intro! Couldn't stop laughing! Having been there with you on that landing :D. It was great to meet you in person, Darren!

[@MooSurfer]

And you too Rafal!! What an adventure we had!

[@Robbo1966]

What an adventure, great you were able to share this

[@chrsfrwll]

Excellent. Been waiting for this since seeing you in Corinna's socials. Was wondering what happened. Wind turn off glider go down. Simple 😂

[@MooSurfer]

Wait until you hear the song we are making...

[@blayolmossnr112]

I am sorry Darren I forgot to give you the beers😂

[@MooSurfer]

@@blayolmossnr112 and I forgot to eat you!

[@huwparsons4069]

Great stuff Darren, really enjoyed that!

[@AcrodesignerLNSNI]

That was a fun one 😄 Seriously Robinson - You considered to eat Friday already after 2 hours stranded ??

[@MooSurfer]

Hey! We were hungry, right?

[@skypix777]

Marooned! And Rescued! Ha, what an adventure alright. Glad you all got back to civilization without having to eat that nice fellow.

[@MooSurfer]

We decided he was too gristly

[@andymccann2716]

I saw a clip of you loading the wing on the boat in someone else's video and wondered what was going on. Now I know, at least it was a different experience

[@MooSurfer]

Not quite what I expected...

[@andersvikingsvensson8762]

Been there 35 years ago but not done that kind of doodie landing 😂😂😂

[@MooSurfer]

Me neither! It was certainly an experience

[@cloudstreets1396]

That is, hands down, the best recovery I’ve seen. One of your very best vids, Darren!

[@MooSurfer]

Funny how one of my biggest failures, people think os one of my best vids! Though it was really a great adventure

[@cloudstreets1396]

@@MooSurfer there were boats on hand ready to come rescue pilots. I mean, come on!! That’s incredible. I happened to have the time to throw this vid up on my 65” tv. That made the adventure even more exciting than seeing it on my phone.

@@MooSurfer Looks like the high overcast was going to be there all day shutting down thermals. Did you have a wind forecast? Maybe that would have helped in the decision to get moving during the first start rather than the second.
