I used to hang glide along an escarpment (about 150-200 meters height) that went for about 10 kms. At the time there was a huge lake filled with water (and it's now quite full after being dry for about 20 years) upwind of the ridge. We would occasionally see pelicans flying ground effect across the water and the distance they would travel without flapping their wings was amazing for all us kite pilots.
