Today was another low and tricky blue day. Well, it wasn't quite blue - the cirrus clouds were white and very successful in shutting down the thermals. But we managed, which you can easily see on our happy faces.

We were just joking with Tim and Joy that D1 is a very good horse and always brings you back home. She tends to land out once a season and it has already happened to Tim some time ago. He landed in Tocumwal. We are not quite sure if an airfield counts as a real outlanding but we will see by the end of this comp. As of today I'm more than happy with D1 who knows the local thermals very well and I don't have to do much ;-)

We had an 2 hrs 30 AAT task to the north and most of us flew around 200 km. Speeds were not all that great but I think everyone was relieved to be back home. European weather in Australia.

| good night D1, see you in the morning |
Tomorrow will be another blue day but hopefully better and higher than today. It's really challenging and exhausting to fly in such a conditions every day but we will survive.
We had some outlandings today as well and here are the daily scores:
And the total after 3 days:
Time to finish up the after flight beer and get some rest! Good night!
