Wednesday was another hot and sticky day on the ground. Mike didn’t get any sympathy at all when he radioed that it was only 11C at cloudbase, which was around 8600’.
It was fun to watch the start games today. We listened to a few frequencies and with the start line overhead it was possible to work out what various pilots were doing.
It was really the first day when pilots had any discretion for starting. Previously it has been let's start now before it rains, or the day shuts down.
It seems that the day was harder than it looked. Although we saw nice Cus at the airfield there were large blue holes to cross on task, with the best Cus in airspace. Pete again went around with the gaggle and got good points (870). Although I think he’s left his dash a bit late this time J
The Pommie team captain is again vertical having escaped from the local hospital.
The forecast for the next few days is for more of the same hot and humid weather, with a forecast max of 36C for today.
