Monday 31st March

An initial poor start to the day with some light drizzle on looking out of the bedroom window. This however rapidly cleared up over breakfast to give fine sunny day. Not as hot as yesterday, and with a stronger wind with a lot more west in it. There were sighs of wave activity throughout the day and there are rumors that a couple of locals had got up to over twelve thousand feet further inland. John flew first and landed at lunch time with a broad grin on his face having contacted weak wave climbing several times to four and a half thousand feet over the loch. Will flew the Vega for the rest of the afternoon and eventually managed to climb away in weak wave to six and a half thousand feet. Again this was local, just in the area of the airfield. This evening we dined at a very posh county house hotel. The food was excellent with every one clearing their plates. The highlight of the meal though was the chef agreeing to make me a bowl of custard from scratch. We all agreed that this was amongst the best tasting custard ever. The forecast for tomorrow also sounds promising.
