cancelled Monday and blue Tuesday

We spent few hours on the grid on Monday waiting for it to cook up. It never did. It's really amazing how you can have a warm sunny day, with no wind and no thermals at all. Keith was launched to sniff in his PW-5 and I can tell you if there is anything to stay up in he will find and work it. This time he almost managed to beat the tow plane down. An hour later or so the day was cancelled. It was a good decision cause it just never got going.


We had a great dinner with the Waikerie crowd in the beautiful garden in the house that they are renting for this event every year. Great food, awesome wine and Selma's dessert was the winner. She called it leftovers dessert but I'm not sure about that at all. It was all delicious and we had a great night.


Tuesday was a blue day. A good day though, with thermals wide, strong and predictable. There is a big scrub area about 100 km north of Horsham and this thing was just magnificent. We all managed to get up to 9000 ft over there. I wasn't doing that great for the remaining part of the task but I got around and didn't loose my 2nd position in total results ... as yet ;)




Here are the daily results and totals:



We've got a 4 hours AAT task today ... tricky.
