Geoff writes: a much better forecast than yesterday, with lighter winds, so naturally it was a howling gale. Really, we got the winds today which were forecast yesterday, with gusts of 70kmph outside our house. We went to Santa Brigida anyway, with Dirk and Eva, and found lots of other people there. However, it really was windy.

Eventually, Erwan launched, much to our amazement, in very strong winds. But he was OK, and seemed to penetrate fine, so eventually he was followed by Marc, Dominique, and eventually me, Dirk and Judith, as the wind slowly dropped. Unfortunately, as it dropped it also went off to the east, so our flights were fairly short – I had about 20 minutes. Anyway, a much better forecast for tomorrow – hotter, lighter winds. Should be a really good XC day.

That’s killed it then.
