I learned it on an airfield that had lots of farms around. But the thing was, at times the soil was pretty wet. We learned to use tiny and weak thermals in the morning, there was no choice. Advantage is, when average glider pilots come down (no thermals), our club members could struggle and stay in the air. Sounds weird, but it really is true, you can learn how to fly smarter, when you got that experience. Sure, on great days you skip these tiny thermals. But can you take advantage of them? Sure?

Yes! Flying a Sedberg together, or a Duo Discus, or a Ka-2 (no, not the ASK-21, the 2-seater looking like a Ka-6) or anything else, when there's no wind a zero m/s thermal keeps you flying for a quarter of an hour at 250m low, and THEN it grows stronger. That's the way the aces do it.

Gliding is the most accomplished form of flight, requiring the greatest science of the element in which it operates. Glider pilots are sky-readers and in competitions the density of decisions to be made is greater than that of a fighter pilot. One every 20 seconds on average ... gliding brings more to my job as an airline pilot than the other way round, as a friend of mine said. And then there is the magic of flying close to a snowy ridge at 4000m in the Alps or above the clouds in a wave flight...

Lots of sun. I took a nap. Woke up above unfamiliar terrain about 500 feet lower totally freaked out. Figured out where i was and headed home. Boring? No. Not even a little.
