Back in the saddle...

After yesterdays shambles today was much better...for me anyhow.
Started with the news that the scorer could retrieve a trace from a combination of the GPS-Nav and my IPAQ. So from 10 points to 577...back into 4th.
Then a few fellow pilots lost part or all their points due airspace violations...

Today was a tough...especially for for the task setters...8/8 cloud cover all morning.
The task got shortened twice until finally it was a 140km AAT.
We sent a sniffer up at 2pm...the sky was working...just.
Away we went...about half of each class got around with many landing back at the halfway point (which was luckily back by the start line).
Not a fast day with slow climbs of 1-2 knots. However the day was scored with is the point I guess...


At the risk of sticking my head in a noose...tomorrow looks like a ripper. Good climbs, bases of 5-6000ft, plenty of Cu's, but maybe a bit of overdevelopment...lets see.
