Challenging flight

High concentration of Sahara dust in which we flew yesterday, moved a bit to the south of Sao Vicente.

High clouds gone so another excelent opportunity to meet all three aircraft with Aeolus satellite over Mindelo just before sunset. With Grisa winstarted to the north along Aeolus Friday orbit, to get gradient from almost zero dust to high concentrations far to the south near Fogo island. Take off and landing were challeging with high winds amoung high mountains around airport.
