Another day of rain...(just for your benefit Mr Baldman...sunning your self in Canada...or where ever you are). We had 462 mm's in the last week of July...almost half a bloody meter. It's like living in Ireland in the summer...
It's like Mrs Brown said to the Mormon's..."the bible says it rained for 40 days and 40 mights...in Ireland we call that the fikking summer..."
More practise days at the Worlds. Just looked the the 15 meter task for yesterday (or today...or is it tomorrow...how many hours behind is Texas anyhow??? In real time not culturally)...
It must be smoking weather - AAT task..the top 3 did over 600kms at an average speed of 140 plus kph...interestingly the Open class where not much faster.
No sign of the Concordia submitting a task time yet. This is the famed glider that an US chap built with a wing span of a gzillion feet, max take-off wieght equivalent to the space shuttle and some interesting wing root designs. It'll be interesting to see.
At a local level we have the annual Club dinner come prize giving come "what else do you do in winter" event. I'll have to give back the trophy I never recieved last year...
