The good, the bad and the ugly...

First the ugly...I landed out at Atiamuri. Another companion landed out a Tokoroa and got a aero-retrieve. The bad...we got a flat tyre on the trailer. The good...the thermals/convergence was strong to start with but got weaker as the day wore on. Friendly farmer and a nice-ish paddock. GYR managed a Tga to almost Taupo return flight. Video from on the spot 5 minutes after landing out....

Sold the ASW20.

Finally sold my share in a ASW20F to another club member. I hope he has as much fun in it as I had. Best land-out was on a college footy field. Now I can concentrate on the Discus. As a result of the sale of GYR I'm now the full owner of Discus GNM. Clear as mud...???

More wet cold weather...maybe tomorrow will improve but probably not enough to make gliding worth while.

So for the meantime gaze at the picture and think of Wave and Omarama.

PS Wave cloud over the Lindis Pass taken from the Ahuriri valley.
