Four days

It has been four days since the last contest day, but it feels more like forty. At least I got EY ready this morning, but in full knowledge that we probably would not be flying. At the much delayed briefing the day was cancelled, not unexpectedly i might add.
Some pilots did take to the sky, which was slightly better than forecasted, with a nice cloud street forming overhead. but initial reports put the strongest lift at 0,8m/s. Andrew did an impressive aerobatic display in his Salto, whils our own Kevin also took to the skies. That it was no contest day was proved by Maneste outlanding 7km from the airfield, well done for flying though!!.
The contest has been extended to Sunday so that we can try and make a contest out of it. The NOAA forecasts at the moment show that we might just do that (aren't we all ever so optimistic?)
I will post the task tomorrow as soon as i know where we are going - by all accounts it will not be very far.
