Final Day Uvalde
Congrats to all for what looks like an exciting, challenging, and safe race! Hope we hear some of the stories behind the scores at some point.
Might be a good time to make the most respectful and gentle request that the relevant SSA committees reconsider a move toward adoption of SeeYou scoring and SoaringSpot. |

What happened to Seaborn on the last day ? On the SSA website under soaring news is a video of daily winner Rick Indrebo. He talks of the first glide after staring. Seems they got extremely low, some lower than others. He found his first climb around 1200 agl and was above Dave ZL who was at 700 agl, Said it made him feel high. It's a good video to watch and also daily winner Dave Mocker is on video. http://www.ssa.org/. Logs are now up on the SSA site, so you can download and watch who ever's flight. Best. Tom #711. |

Final Day Uvalde
It was a long glide across a big blue hole. I thought I was the first to start but when I got there ZL was heading back to field just above my altitude of 900 I went under him and about 3 miles from the field we were looking at I put down the gear and started dumping water had decided to land at about 700 agl when I got a little beep on the vario. shut the valve and started to climb at 1kt. ZL saw me on flarm and came back to climb up with me just as I was getting to 2kts and 1200agl the "pack" arrived and we all proceeded to limb a few k then moved on to better clouds forming to the south and decreasing high cirrus. A8 arrived too late and missed the bubble The rest of the flight for most was very fast and pretty good except a long 50 mile final with little lift. Had I not dumped most of my water I would have been a few miles an hour faster
