Canadian Nationals 2023

Rockton, Kanada,   24. Juli 2023 – 4. August 2023

Day 3

Today, we flew.  Unfortunately, it took too long for condiions to develop to the point that a task could be flown.  Two sniffers were launched with the first at noon almost beating the towplane back to the ground.  The second sniffer launched around 1 PM was more successful managing to stay airborne for about 30 minutes under the first wispy cu.  At 1:30 a third sniffer was launched and was able to climb above 2500 ft AGL.

The launch started around 2 PM and there were a few relights due to unreliable clouds and weak lift.  Finally when things seemed to be getting better around 3 PM, there really wasn't enough time left in the day to get the gate opened and then fly minimum distances of 100 km in Club and 140 km in Open/18m.

Part of the problem was the large storm to the west that was throwing shade on the task area and shutdown the lift.
