The overnight flight across the Atlantic was cramped as always. I got max. two hours of sleep and was glad to get out of the plane in Zurich. The weather in Zurich was cool and overcast and it looked as if it would start raining any minute. I spent 9 dollars on a small cup of coffee and a prezel for breakfast during the three hour lay-over in Zurich. On the flight up to Berlin the overcast gradually broke up into wonderful cu streets with high bases as the flight approached the contest area. The weather in Berlin was clear with a few high cu and 30 degrees. Dave picked me up from the Belzig train station which is just a few km from the airfield and the hotel.
Dave and Jerzy arrived very late yesterday from Poland and chose not to fly today because they were tired,despite the good looking sky. Better safe than sorry! They got their gliders weighed and inspected instead. We had a nice dinner together in the clubhouse of the local club.
Max, a German university student who had visited SOSA last year, dropped by and donated four exquisite bottles of red wine to the team. - Thanks Max!
