500km task - 1st Jan

Happy New Year...let's hope it's better than 2010.
The weather. Westerlies until late today. Cloud bases 6-8000ft inland. Not many sea breezes until late except maybe Tauranga.
Easterly sea air moving through the gap into the Taupo area.

The task...


The Swamp at 1pm. Probably blue but note the West/SW wind...good for the ridge.


Te Papa Area at 4pm...again, note the wind. Better cloud markers.

The Taupo area...note the cloud base...


Flew in GXT yesterday to give Brian Chesterman a chance...it flew like a good glider should.
I see we have a new instructor on the list...I guess I didn't attend the instructors meeting where he was re-appointed. The more the merrier...
