Today was much the same as yesterday except Gene had moved a bit further to the east so the \'little people\' (aka PWs) were allowed to fly. They were given a 175 km task, half of which was into 20 to 30 km/hr winds. The club class got a 273 km task and the others got 295. I think the club class had the toughest day but all but one got around. Still no landouts, just a few land-backs and a couple of engine starts to get back home.

I am flying a PW5 and today the wind was so strong that unless you could average 4 knots you went backwards, fortunately there were plenty of 5 to 12 knot thermals so we were able to go forwards.
