Or would've been if the wind had stayed more northerly. Today had a promising start with admitedly early Cu, but enough to get lots of private owners rigged. Pre 11:30 there were a few good soaring flights inlcuding the K13s but then the sky overdeveloped and the strengthening westerly meant we had to change ends to launch on 27. Those who had not yet launched duly formed a tidy queue of shiny plastic and waited patiently for their turn - alternating with the 2 seaters. No one was in a hurry as it was clearly quite hit or miss as to whether lift could be contacted. Your scribe launched to 1100 feet and scurried round a blue hole that had opened up and was rewarded with 3.3 knots to 2700. But then all the clouds lied through their teeth and I was back on the ground after 25 minutes. Other flights were a variation on this - some longer some just a circuit. Look forward to hearing about Sunday and Monday. The treasurer's day reference? Lots of lovely private owner launches. :)
