The flex wing results.

The rigid wing results.

The Swift result.

There's been a bit too much dust here in the launch area, essentially due to our activities here, breaking the crust on top of the dirt. When the wind blows, as it did today, pilots get dirty, gliders get dirty, and pilots get discouraged.

Add to that that we got a report that rigid wings weren't getting high. Johann Posch came back and landed three times. Brian landed once in the Swift and BJ landed twice, so that was further discouragement.

A novice competition flex wing pilot (who almost ran into me yesterday coming into the thermal smack dab through the middle of the thermal), broke a weaklink on his second tow very low and got off at 300' on his tow. So that was further discouragement.

The pilots just didn't get going and no one pushed them by going in line. I did later, but by then it was a futile gesture. The safety committee decided to call the day, basically based on pilots' feelings, but then why not?

If the rigid wings had not circled around low over us for a while. If the dust hadn't kicked up. Then we would have gone.

The rigids went and made goal. See above.
