Dusty: Funicular, cablecar, and sideways chairlift to Cimetta 1671m for
some easy alpine sun
Dusty: On a clear day you can see lots of 4000m peaks, but none today...
A dozen or more paragliders and two hang gliders launched from Cimetta,
the hang gliders are so fast no wonder they crunch and kill people..
Dusty: paragliding looks much safer..
Dusty: looks like they can stay up as long as they like, they can ride
thermals indefinitely...
Dusty: the hang gliders especially made fast passes over Cimetta like
the video..
Dusty: i saw one hang glider and a few paragliders looking to land in
the fields near the mouth of the Maggia, that's a long way down....
Also saw paragliders launch way above Grimselpass from the woods above
Oberwald last Thursday, only saw 1 land in Oberwald, never figured out
where they landed but assume Gletsch...

Didn't look like rain tonight, and this place was more laid back.

Dusty: I haven't seen any speedboats either
18:50 Europe time 09:50 California time
Ray: There are some speedboats? But no sailboats, either? Is not windy?
18:53 Europe time 09:53 California time
Paul: Dusty- you going to get on ferries and hop around the lake?
18:55 Europe time 09:55 California time
Dusty: Nope
Dusty: Can see much more from Cimetta than i would sweltering around
the lake
Dusty: I'm not crossing any borders this trip, no clue if there are
ferries to any other Swiss towns...
Dusty: I haven't looked closely but i see only tourist boats no
ferries...
18:56 Europe time 09:56 California time
Dusty: I suspect the fabulously wealthy prefer speedboats
Paul's pic
18:57 Europe time 09:57 California time
Paul: Who knows if they are going, but looks like there are 4-5 ferry
lines to other Swiss lake towns.
18:57 Europe time 09:57 California time
Dusty: Not very windy in Locarno, more like muggy and warm....
Dusty: was very windy headwind coming down the canyon yesterday

Ray: I thought the fabuloulsy wealthy enjoyed bicycling mountain passes
:) Muggy and warm? Try 104 and 32% humidity
Ray: Today's forecast
Ray: Doing sweaty yard work
Ray: Looking for mosquito lairs after the big rain.
Zoom view from my balcony
19:21 Europe time 10:21 California time
Dusty: The fabulously wealthy buy and sell my sorry poser ass.
Here are your sailboats, this is the only port around...
19:22 Europe time 10:22 California time
Dusty: I suppose these boats right in front of me are ferries
Dusty: Never checked, didn't care...
Paul's pic
