Friday 27th a scrub at last

Yet another contest day with a task out towards Finmere. More risk of showers today so the turns are 'showery sectors' to allow pilots to stay dry...... And then .....

A couple of relights and then everyone started sinking.  The day was scrubbed 2 minutes before the start gate opened.  By 4pm we had rain and a big grey sky towards Henley.  Not a good sky for anyone coming back to Booker. Competitors glad to be de-rigged before the rain.
