Monday
This morning it was raining again – although only lightly. At briefing the forecast was no flying today, strong winds and low cloud on Tuesday, possibly flyable on Wednesday? On Thursday a new rain front is coming through – possibly Thu afternoon or if we are lucky on Thursday evening. So possibly there could be flying on Wednesday which would see 4 days for Std and 15m therefore the minimum for a competition, and if we are really lucky maybe a 4th day for Open and 18m on Thursday.
The underlying problem is that there is water over all of the paddocks, and my concern is that an outlanding in one of these could see the glider stuck there for a month – there you go Todd, I’ll give you the coordinates so you can pick it up on the way to Narromine Juniors??
I am not that keen on hanging around in soggy Dalby for the rest of the week on the off chance that we may get a flight over the sodden paddocks, so I am now writing this last blog from Narromine – on the way home.
I have an option for a launch on Tuesday lunchtime if the weather is suitable, so we’ll see how the weather is tomorrow morning. If no good then we will keep heading home, arriving Wednesday.
I enjoyed the 5 flights I had at the beginning, but am not used to so little flying in a gliding comp in Australia – shades of Norway
