they are off!!!!

after a busy morning rigging, gridding polishing preparing the boys are now on task. For Paul a 333.6km racing task and for Steven a racing task 337.5 km. Are they keeping the Area Task for the Bad weather? Conditions were blue during the aerotows but some thermal were about. An exciting view with 45 open Class and 50 15meter class in 2 thermals over the Airfield. Start of 18m was delayed by 10 minutes by which time some small CUs appeared and started to spread the gliders about. Now all we have is hope that they will do well.
