Another Difficult Day

Launching was delayed, and B tasks were set. 263km for Club and 310km for Standard Class. Unusually no PW5s relighted, but a couple of Club Class and several Standard Class gliders came back, including Jay Rebbeck and NX. (he landed too fast, down wind full of water and oveshot the runway over the road into the next paddock. After a quick inspection he relaunched.
All of the relights slowed down the launching so Pete's gate won't open until around 2.15pm. The club class gate is already open.

There is a very clear inversion at around 5000' with a few scattered Cus. They are reporting 2kt climbs.
None of our pilots have started yet.

Tobi is flying with a tracker today.
