Day 2

Sorry I'm not keeping up with the play...by the time I drive over to Matamata, do the weather, help set a task, clean my glider, launch, fly, land, pack-up and drive home...the day is done.
Today was better than both the forecast and my best guess, however we set a 200km plus task...start to Tirua, back up to Flaxmil (top of the swamp), back down to Ta Papa and home.
About 2 thirds of the fleet got round...but most had a tough patch somewhere.
Mine was half an hour at 1000ft around Waitao...hot, sweaty and no fun.


Check out the track...notice the large change of course going north around Morrinsville...almost the beginning of the end.

Forecast looks OK for a late day tomorrow...good for Thursday and Friday...not sure about the weekend.
