We had an official opening by Dean Maywald the local Mayor and then his wife Karlene, the water minister.
Noel Roedigger and Sean Jorgensen-Day have flown in from Adelaide for the day.
The forecast is for a max of 36 today, giving thermals to 8000' but with a later start and a strong sea breeze later. Tasks are triangles to the south and then East. Big wings launching later so a slightly shorter task (Std/15m 359 and 18m Open 345km).
Gridding opens at noon with first launch at 1pm. Standard to launch first, so I need to go soon.
I should mention that Bruce Taylor is now flying in a Ventus as Anita's stomach wasn't happy in the back of the Ash.
The forecast is for hotter weather tomorrow and the weather man predicted Queensland air on Friday, which raised a cheer at briefing.
off to grid, more later.....
