Default Negotiations

I'm sure I'm not the only X-country sailor who negotiate the lift
deals with the God. You know. You get low, nothing is working, landing
options are limited and there....a little too far away... you see the
very last chance. You have to ask The Almighty for a little help and
have to promise Him something.
Please share you thoughts and ultimate outcomes ?



In an article I once wrote:
"... It’s amazing to me how your mood can swing so radically in an
instant on an XC glider flight. When you get low, you sweat and you
curse, you consider making deals with demons and deities – anything to
save you from “landing out”. Then, when you hit that important thermal,
you’re climbing again, the sun is shining, and life is beautiful...."
