The early bird got the worm..

You wanted to be early today...because it over-developed and clouded up from about 2pm.

A nice short convergence set up from about 10.30am with some nice 5-6knot climbs to 4-5000ft.
90 minutes in the Duo was good enough for a club members rating...
He was, however, amazed at your authors outstanding abilities...after getting off tow, pushing towards the further-est cloud, arriving with 50ft to spare (for a final glide back to the airfield), your scribe was able to immediately hook into a 3-4 knot climb...how'd you do that?? Luck...




Note the convergence heading towards Whakatane..









Not the prettiest landscape...
