Forecast was for SW winds to 16kts. Lift to 6g around the area getting better down the track for the big task, we would not go so far to get the better air forecast on the RASP. Stable air, wanting to work = little cores, low height getting 6g was it, where there was an inversion. The Open Class had a big task 264km we had a little 74km job to Peak Hill North of here, two club Class gliders made it in to goal, they are flying so well some of these guys. One tailed me for half the course before I glid off and hit the deck. He kept up wind and made the goal pretty easy. Real nice to fly with these pilots who are just hitting form and loving the competition and conditions. It will be interesting to see how they progress to the HP ships when the time comes.

So I land a thermal short (good tail winds) to land 17km out. I still win sport Class and now hold a handy 800 point lead against my only other competitor pretty funny...

Tomorrow is Steve's funeral and a lot of the pilots are going to attend. I think a few of us are still going to go for a fly....
