It actually looked do-able at 12 O'Clock.
Enthusiasm ensued, GNM and GYR got dragged down to the launch point. In record time pre-take off checks were completed, the rope was attached and off we go...at 1500ft I realised we were wasting our time...we hit cloud base at 2000ft on tow and I released at 2500ft, above cloud base. A quick dask out towards Poripori in the hope of getting past the sea breeze...things were still crap.
Only thing left to do...fly home and do a high speed beat-up - sorry - competition finish and over-shoot - land and drink tea and tell lies - best part of the day actually...solved all the club's problems AND I was suitably chastised for the quality of the weather forecasting...fair enough it was total bollocks.
