The weather forecast for the day was iffy: the forecast was for over-development with thundershowers forecast for later afternoon. There were two separate assigned area tasks prepared for the day for the Club and FAI classes. A total of 25 gliders were launched. For the club class, the turn areas were 40 kms, the nominal distance was 274 kms, with a minimum distance of 144 km and maximum distance of 415 kms. The FAI class had turn areas of 50 kms, nominal distance of 350 kms, minimum of 185, maximum of 529 (a copy of the tasks can be seen on this site under tasks). By the time the gliders were gridded, the cu was developing well, and launching started (three tow planes) about 12:10 and was finished by 13:15. We had one land-out shortly after tow, and they made it back for a re-light. Over the rest of the afternoon, there were about 4 more land-outs. The day did over-develop, but without the thundershowers. The day started out not too badly, but by the time the field had worked there way past the first turnpoint to the east the overdevelopment had taken hold, and after the second turnpoint the trip home was described by a few as "survival mode". As I write this at 9:30 PM we have yet to hear from Kerry Stevenson who was last back to the field after landing out about 10 kms down the road. His cell phone had gone dead, so we send a tow-plane out to look for him after his signal had disappeared from Seek and Glide. All was well, we will wait for his story tomorrow morning!
