Day 4?

Initially the weather looked good in the morning but by mid morning a thick layer of high cloud, associated with a warm front, was covering the sun, son only the disk was visible.

The organizers are hoping that the overcast will clear out in the afternoon. We went out to the grid for a 12:00 noon grid time and an expected first launch of 12:15. Well, conditions at 12:15 were not suitable to launch gliders, so it is turning into one of those dreaded days where you wait around forever at the grid. The grid order is Open, 15m, 18m. At 13:10 they canceled the 18m task and Jerzy (XG) went back to his trailer.

Dave in P8 is still out in the 15m section of the grid. The launch for 15m and Open was just delayed again and is now set for 14:30. On the good news side, the overcast seems to be getting a bit thinner and there are some cu showing under it. There is still a chance the 15m Class will fly. Just got notified by text message that there is a Team Captains' meet at the grid in 10 minutes - better run!
