Stars Track IV

Hello Almosters,
finally a trip we can write about
I joined @Barish as support in the back and together with @Tomvanhouten, @AndreAJ,@Messi and @Piilmann we left skydive at 3.30 sharp as planned towards Al Qudra.
At the meeting point I had mixed feelings. I was super happy that drives are back on the one hand, but I really missed the big family gathering and the greetings on the other hand.
But as soon as we hit the sand, all sadness was gone and the usual excitement and happiness took over. I drove at the back of the convoy, assigned floating/sweeping.
Barish managed to cover everything in this drive. From safari style and arches in the big dunes, to technical areas and even some easy side crests were served.
He found some tricky spots and gave our convoy a lesson how to deal with soft sand and climbs.
We did not had any recovery situation, all difficulties were handled by the driver alone, really well done guys!
The convoy flew nicely at all times, therefore the radio was mostly silent. I enjoyed my freedom at the back, practising my floating skills.
Close to the end at the lakes I finally I had my chance to perform a rescue, as a poor guy got stuck with his sedan car right next to the gatch road. wink
We ended at 7pm as scheduled in Qudra, watching a perfect sunset while inflating.
I cannot explain how happy I am that we are back in the game. The last couple of weeks were tough and I learned how important this club is to me. Truly family
I cant wait to see all of you back in the sand
