>Dear Wilson:

I have to be "franche". Let us not exagerate the conditions. You and I know

that they were poor admit it. The conditions at Mt. St-Pierre were not

good. On a scale of one to 10 they were 3 and borderline dangerous and only 3

because you could sometimes take off and it was sunny. There were many near

accidents, take-offs were difficult for paragliders and I saw one go almost

into a tree. By all coming many pilots lack enough self-control and will

take off in the marginal conditions that were present.

I understand your position as wanting to promote flying, we all do, especially

in your town. I also see it in your best interest that many people come

(more money to maintain the roads that primarily you and your club-local

pilots- use) but considering the drive distance from Montreal I was

dissappointed. I have had much better flying conditions at Yamaska (better

than MSA) including a 3-hour flight today (where I got to a modest 3,000 feet

ASL (au dessous de niveau du mer) (I had to get the lack of flying at Yamaska

out of the system).

Nonetheless, I think a better strategy on your part would to concede that it

sucked for flying and then we would come back knowing that it had sucked.

Trying to say it was good when it wasn't may soothe some souls of pilots who

don't know what good really is (like the tandem passengers) but honesty will

bring us back knowing that it gets much better.

Finally, Gaspe is beautiful and worthwhile just for the highway views along

the St. Lawrence or climbing Mt. Jacques-Cartier. S'il ya quelq'une qui

comprens pas ce message soit demande un traduction, ou apprends anglais (je

suis bilangue vous pouvez etre aussi).

Salut,

Mon cher André

Si tu n'était pas allé au Mt Jacques Cartier le lundi matin du festival au

Mt St Pierre, tu aurais fais un vol de 40 minutes au dessus de la montagne

comme tous les autres et aussi au moins 4 sleds le reste de la journée comme

j'ai pu le faire.

Pas de notre faute si tu a manqué le bateau, je te l'avais même recommandé

de voler ce matin la.

Félicitation pour ton vol de 3 heures aujourd'hui, moi aujourd'hui au Mt

Yamaska, j'en ai fais un de 5 minute un deuxième de 2 heures 45 et un

troisième de 3 heures, ce dernier vol s'est terminé dans un magic écoeurant,

j'ai des photos que je vais mettre sur ma page web aussitot que j'aurais le

temps.

Le plus long vol du jour ce n'est ni moi ni toi mais Richard (Boubou)

Bellemare (4 heures).

Bref, super journée de vol au Mt Yamaska pour André ,Robert, Boubou,Bruno

Allard , Mélanie,Michel, Sam, Vincent, Stéphane Perreault, Patrice

Bessette, Jean Turgeon, et plusieurs autres et René Marion qui avait une

équipe de tournage avec lui pour faire un reportage pour la promotion de

notre sport !

Robert Bernier

P.S. j'échangerais un de mes vols de 2-3 heures d'aujourd'hui pour une autre

sled, même vent de cul, au Mt St Pierre.
