Another day is over, we both managed and are having dinner at the moment. It was as predicted a blue day again. Thermal heights were rather low and not too strong. It was way better than yesterday though cause we didn't have to fight against strong winds. The task was a racing task and people tend to move along in gaggles which was sometimes annoying. We all know how a gaggle sometimes flies exactly around a narrow thermal core and there is no way to make people bank steeper. The only solution is then to leave such a gaggle ...

We already know that one of the weekend days will be the official rest day. Weather depending it might be tomorrow. We can already see the cirrus. It started approaching while we were half way down our today's task (around 30 km inbound Tocumwal A/F). Luckily not like yesterday it didn't shut the thermals down, just weakened them a bit. We managed to get in and out the cirrus without getting in trouble and made it back to the sunny area. From there on it was a nice run back home.
I am in the task setting tomorrow morning.
Today's results:
OK, now it's time to enjoy a glass of white with a nice dinner. Cheers!
