Worlds 2007, Day 2

The large trough that has been lurking usually off to the west has parked right over Manilla, and it has been raining off and on. Day 2 was cancelled without even having to go up the hill. Today looks a little better, but that's not saying much.

The farmers want to know when the next competition is, (they love the rain). On the bright side, Bright has seen two 150km days in a row. With the worlds being a 13 day comp, we will get some tasks in.

With no flying going on, there is a lot of socializing to be done - designers talking about design, pilots talking about the mods being made to the comp wings that just showed up, and lots of talk about the fastest wings - and how to keep them open...

The pic was taken a couple days ago, the glider on the left is a Boom5, note the high arc, shorter lines (to me) and rounded tips.

I have been here off an on for about 5 weeks, and today is the first day I have seen the day time temps go below 30C, kinda nice in a way...
