Day three has started trouble free.
The day starts by rigging if necessary, the normal washing, polishing etc, and then towing out to the grid, by now on the grid by 08:30 /09:00. On the way it is a requirement to pass over a weighing station where glider ID, and reference weight is checked against the records. The gridding position is noted and the glider positioned appropriately.
Todays task is a race around a 312km polygon with three points. The start/finnish being halfway along one of the legs. All four pilots got away without too much trouble and are now approaching the final leg home.
The weather is probably the best since being here. After losing them on the radio for about 20 mins we are now starting to hear their chatter again, they can't be too far away.
