Pete's a Lucky Pilot

Pete sat in the briefing today whilst I stood in line to register him and Alex gridded the glider. Registration was relatively painless and I told them a good story about the licence. They took my money and gave my an umbrella and 2 T-shirts with Pete's name on it so I guess they believed me. If you look carefully you can see it in the photo.
They have set a 2.45 hour AAT for all classes with slightly different turn points.
Launching went smoothly, launching started at noon and finished at 13.20. Alan has started, and the Standard Class gate has just opened.
The first turn is over the high mountains. At the moment there is a huge storm with showers in that area.
Today the team frequency is very busy with every second transmission being overtransmitted. There are not as many frequencies as usual and there are 15 pilots on most frequencies.
Pete gave the impression he would be conservative today after his long day yesterday.
Our new skid arrived today and someone is coming to fix the bug wipers tomorrow so we should be good to go by Sunday.

Tobi just started, and now Peter.
