Going for a hike on a beautiful day up Harbor Mountain in Sitka, Alaska.
At the top and what a view...Mount Edgecumbe is in the background, our inactive Volcano.
We ran into an old classmate of Vince's at the top and he had decided to fly his paraglider that day. He was a little nervous because he hadn't done it for a few years.
Here's the first attempt
yet the wind came up on a cross wind and slammed his parachute to the ground.
Here's the second attempt
Which became successful!
What a beautiful view! What we didn't get on film was right after this picture was taken, his parachute collapsed on the left side and he started dropping fast, but luckily and with much skill he pulled out of it and caught the wind to properly open the sails once again.
