hot hot hot

9:30 this morning we had 35 degC, around 2 pm during launching the thermometer was showing 42 and it was still rising, but ... there is clouds! And they are ridiculously high. I'm following the race on the computer and it's crazy how fast the boys are moving around the task. Some will say it was under-set. The thing was that it was either gonna be great or crap - nothing in between.

Here are some photos from the last two days:


Yesterday was a very funny and tricky day. There were some thermals and also shear wave. Great lift but also huge patches of horrible sink. I managed to contact a wavelet and got up to 9000 ft. As soon as I left it I got down to 3000 ft in no time. Whole day was like this. Very annoying when you were down low and someone on the radio shouted that they just got up to 11.000 ft. It was fun though.





If someone tells you that carbon doesn't crack - tell them it's not the case:
