Central Districts 2016

Waipukurau, New Zealand,   February 14, 2016 – February 20, 2016

Day 2

Another good day at the start with high cirrus coming over the task area after the launch. It looked pretty hopeless but there were good thermals marked by little wisps of cumulus. Just as it got a bit difficult mid task, the cirrus thinned out and good cu's developed. So again most pilots back, but not without a challenge. I still have some loggers to download, and some issues with three files, thanks to the start going through the change of date with UTC time.

It looks like continuing NE winds tomorrow, hopefully no high cirrus!

Cheers GW

PS the two PW 5 pilots are having a good time of it but logger problems put Richard Keir in the winners spot yesterday. I hope to have a result for them for today for the next post, with good traces today.
