Day 6

Well, i'm sure youve noticed that we have managed 5 competition days so far.

Today we got as far as gridding up, changing the tasks, scrubbing the Club class, lining the tugs up and then cancelling the whole competition for the day!

Some of the more intrepid aviators have taken a launch, maybe in honour of the 110th anniversary of the Wright brothers first powered flight (but more likely just because they wanted to go flying!). 

 

Tune in tomorrow for another day 6.
