| another day dawns in paradise... |
Another spectacular day dawned crisp and clear with a gorgeous blue sky. A spot of running around and watering up, weighing and towing out and by 1230 it was time to launch. The startline opened at 1345 with a 5000' cloudbase and we all pushed off North on the 388kms task. There were some soft spots on the way round but cloudbase to over 6000' amsl and therms were generally 5-7 knots. There don't seem to be many energy lines available - it's more individual bubbles and quite a bit of influence from the numerous lakes and swamps. The winner, Jerzy, came in at 120.4kph and 8 minutes later I rolled in. The last 20kms were particularly good fun as Robin Clark in RF was sat 100-200 feet higher than me just behind and it was akin to be hunted by a great white shark: just beat him home though.
Tomorrow promises to be more great weather.
