E5 reports the water is cold. He is fine, boat ramp retrieval of glider which had only minor superficial damage though everything is wet. Crash landing and rescue is a misnomer, just an outlanding on a rather soggy site with paddle board transport of pilot.



We were just wondering what type of glider it is / was... Schempp Hirth is obvious...Nimbus or Ventus c?


Shown as Ventus 16.6 m on OLC. Poor guy got a file invalid error.
When it rains it pours.
