A 70odd km task set today. Conditions looked good although our take off time was late at 12h30 and race start at 1h30pm meaning a return over the crazy thermal and piñon at the height of the thermic day.
Tricky task in the second half meant that half the field was lost and sorted between Elefant and Frisco, but there were some happy faces at the landing field after the first pilots reached the landing just after 4pm.
Pilots' dinner last night and an early night for me.
Tomorrow the competition begins with those pilots flying banned wings begging, borrowing and stealing anything put up on offer from local pilots, the flying school and the on hands Organisation : from M4's to Pure's, pilots are now keen to return to the band wagon and let the higher powers do the rest.
Instruments on charge, ear plugs in to cease the incessant din of the town, and lights out.
