With the continued good conditions and an eight knot forecasted east wind, the task committee called a 137 km dog leg task to the south east then south west. They didn't want to have pilots flying to 7 PM if they had to struggle against the north component of the wind (below cloud base where the wind was east).... mehr

Attila landed sixty kilometers short of goal when he left the lead gaggle that was going up at 800 fpm. There were plenty of clouds ahead so I wonder what he missed. Jonny Durand, Jr. is in first without having won a single task. His best finish was second on one task. I've finish higher than him on one task. He... mehr

Jeff Shapiro went early (before the mandatory start time for the top twenty pilots) and forty kilometers out got down to forty feet over the trees when he hit a thermal that almost pulled the wings off the Wedgie that launched into it out of the trees, and knocked a flock of cockatoos out of the nearby trees.

After the fastest pilots went down. Michi called Jonny on the radio to tell him that they landed short. Jonny made sure that he made goal, and dramatically improved his position from sixth to second. Gerolf didn't fly and apparently has left the building.

The old farts got their wish and we had a rest day, merely a 143 km down wind paraglider task. We were able to get home before sunset and before the thunderstorms.
The RASP model (the NSW version of Dr. Jack's great work) was right on again. It is almost as though it knows the future. It called for a reasonable... mehr

Ah, yes, another super day here at Forbes. How's the snow and the cold where you are? This competition has been so fantastic that some of the "older" pilots are asking for a rest day. Don't think that it is going to happen. My body is holding up great, so I'm willing to go all out every day.
The forecast was for... mehr
