Farewell Party

It was raining pretty much all day Friday. We spent the day sorting out and settling outstanding accounts with the organizers as well as preparing the gliders for shipping and to go back to the owners.

At 7p we joined the other teams for a big farewell party. It was a nice surprise to meet our old friend Darek and his daughters at the party. Darek was a very active SOSA member in the ninties before he moved to the Carribean with his family. He and his daughters, who were a riot at SOSA then and are young ladies now, are touring Europe and decided to drop in for the closing ceremony of the Worlds. It turned out to be a great party, great food, great entertainment and great company. After two intense weeks, everybody enjoyed the opportunity to relax and have fun. The contest organizers put on fabulous fireworks before the party got pretty wild in the events hangar.
