We flew in the beautiful, but endlessly windy Argentinean Andes.We walked among cactus, watched the locals, ate steaks, and enjoyed splendid wines, added Jim Morrison's music from my mobile to set the the pace of our thoughts. I can't say we didn’t enjoy it. I have already written several times about bivouac flights. It was always about strong experiences, about special challenges, about free movement in wild mountains.Human decisions teach us. We learn by our own mistakes and from the strange situations, into which we are occasionally forced.At such moments we must manage them as well as all else, because on them depends everything.
It’s like walking a knife-edge separating right or wrong decisions. We alone are responsible for successes and consequences, there is nobody else with us and no-one knows about us. Power and weakness are built into each of us, as is our ability to manage the glider and ourselves, to read nature and to listen.
This is the way I do know and feel it.
