Rain Stopped Play

Dave and Allan arrived safely at lunchtime yesterday and are installed in their pension.
We had another violent thunderstorm overnight with more rain and everything is wet and soggy this morning. We woke to fog in the valley and low cloud bases. There is a possible short window of sunshine forecast for this afternoon, but we are not rushing to rig. We still have a couple of "20 minute" jobs to do to our glider and Allan and Dave have a few things to sort out with their cockpit, so we will do that between the showers.
Based on the forecast today will be the best day - until Wednesday of next week. Still forecasts can be wrong, so we'll see what happens.
Captain Charlie and Mike are due to arrive tomorrow via "Lake Nitra" where they are stopping off to collect some items left behind last year.
