The organizers tried very hard but there is nothing you can do to win against weather. Overcast with 400 m AGL basis. We waited on the grid till 3 pm and the day got cancelled. No chance whatsoever. There is many birds here at the aerodrome and once it becomes soarable they all take off and use the very first thermals. We've been watching them every day. Today though, they took off few times, flew around uncoordinated heavily flapping their wings just to land back on the runway after few minutes. They are still sitting in the grass. I think this tells more than hundreds weather forecasts.
Kerrie was very excited picking up little flowers in the grass. There is no green grass in Australia, not even mentioning all kinds of little colorful flowers. It's amazing how something obvious for you can be something special for someone else.

Once the day was cancelled Ziggy had his moment. He got to sit in his new glider for the first time. Funny, there was never enough time before. He hasn't flown it yet but is already talking about putting the 55 on the market. Who would want to drive a Holden having a Rolls Royce available ;)
We'll be going out for a nice French dinner tonight.
