I hear through the grapevine (tow-rope perhaps) that there is a tow-plane available at Matamata tomorrow. It'll be a good ridge day tomorrow, but similiar to today...lowish cloud to start, blue-ing out during the afternoon and not many useful thermals. Hot again. Good practise all the same...
Looking further out...practise day (Saturday looks good), 1st contest day looking OK, Monday...not so sure...wind going NW...usually not a good sign. Beyond that it's anybody's guess...
I'm presuming that while the contest is on GXT (the big white thingy...) will be over for flying????
Jan 2011...420mm of rain for the month...a new record for Janurary here on the farm.
To our friends in the Big East Island...sorry Australia...it's hardly living up to it's reputation as the "Lucky Country". La Nino can bugger off...
Tomorrow has been cancelled, from Alan: "I have cancelled the Thursday flying day as the latest weather info looks like overcast skies most of the day with less than 1o knots of westerly."
