It looked good, and Skysight indicated a taskable day, but the local forecast was for rain in the afternoon so we launched an hour or so earlier than normal, and that meant that quite a lot struggled with only weak thermals. However a few of those that were able to hang in there were rewarded with a completed task and earlier refreshments!
