Apr 14 Report

We gave it a good try again today, but in the end we had nothing to show for it. We awoke to gloomy skies and drizzle this morning, and the pessimists began to make their plans for shopping, laundry, and tourism.  The Director, whose job is to be an optimist, listened to the forecast of met man Tony Condon, whose job is to be neutral.  The forecast indicated that something might be possible in the late afternoon, so we took a chance and gridded after lunch at 1330. The good news was that of the...

Apr 11 Report

We had valid results in both classes today, but we did it the hard way. Optimism prevailed as we staged for a launch into a cool, fresh post-frontal wind under a blue sky.  The original tasks were ambitious Racing Tasks of 317 km and 273 km. The forecast called for a straightforward soaring day of at least 5 hours duration.  Once again the unforecastable cirrostratus clouds moved in at launch time, and task setter John Good was forced to scale back to tasks of 298 and 257 km over the central pa...
