Hi all!
Well, yesterday turned out interesting (some would say challenging; others would use a different description) and most people outlanded. I get the impression that those who started immediately had a higher chance of getting home. Certainly there were trailers roaming all over the countryside picking up downed gliders. Both on the way out and on the way back we passed several other trailers going in all sorts of directions.
Today might be just as interesting, RASP is predicting good conditions west of Räyskälä for a while, deteriorating later, and hardly anything good east of there. But I'd better wait for the weather-man to get the best picture I guess.
Two days left in the competition. What will happen today?
Don't go away…
Update 1125 - I wasn't at briefing as I was busy gridding the glider, but apparently first launch was 1130. That's now delayed to 1145. Task is racing, 314 km.
Update 1325 - there were no more delays to first launch, and they're now all off and away. The sky's looking great!
Cheers!
