18m seems to have gotten a bit chatoic there. a few real landouts a few motor homes. a few 145 degree "deviations" that seem to be back on task now.

They may have encountered wave in the lee of the Nandewar range.
Meanwhile Std/Club have a slog into the wind.

Per Ritz's blog, 100% landout - 8 18m gliders motored home. Pawnees out doing airtow retrieves. Rest day on the 11th and International Day pushed by one day.

I wonder how many more years before Soaring Spot can distinguish between DNF and "Not Yet Scored" on the Prelim.

Driving back from W of Boggabri, every other vehicle going the other way had a glider trailer behind it.
At 1030 when Kathy and I got back to Keepit, Sarah and Jason had finished rigging. Believe they had "Maccas" for dinner, to expedite.
The French team then took XBY's trailer on a retrieve.

Maccas, an American delicacy.

Thank goodness for a rest day. I need some sleep.

Sylvia and Kathy laughed when I read that to them.

Today looks dismal. The smoke that killed the task area is here now.
Tomorrow could be pretty ****e too.

Maccas, also the only thing open on Sunday in Leeton. At least between Christmas and New Years.

Like Tim I will be happy to get some good sleep. Couldn't put the tracker down last night as the distance day unfolded.

Tonight was International night. Both the weather man and task setter "went for a swim" after yesterday's performance.
