Robert and Joana on the runway. The wooden planks at the bottome of the pictures are the boardwalk from which one leaps into the sky.
 

Robert's favorite girls - his wife and mother - neither of whom had life-insurance at the time of the jump!
 

Joana and Lothar - No, he's not pregnant. That is the hang-gliding safty gear.
 

Joana prepares for her jump.
 

Lothar and Robert strike a pose in their safty get-up!
 

One always "test-hangs" before actually jumping. You want to make sure all ropes are connected!
 

One last pictures and then we walk to planks.
 

Mother Elke also wants a "test hang" before she jumps!
 

And we've got take off!
 

Joana's flying!
 

Elke's flying!
 

Robert's flying too!
 

Below you can see the landing strip ... yup, just the beach, for soft sandy (wet if necessary) landings.
 

Safe and sound, Robert's back on the ground with both feet standing firm.
 

Shannon, Robert's brother-in-law, and Joana also made it back safe and sound ... and they had smiles on their faces - proof of a good time.
 

A quick group picture lends itself to be a Kodak moment!
 

All in all, most of the family jumped. Frank and Anne were the only ones to chicken out! Maybe next time, right?
