Day 1

A light southerly - goal 55 kms downwind. Good climbs to 5,500 ft and even some
clouds early in the task. 13 pilots made goal including 2 floaters (Experienced
swimmer Curtis Greenwood was the fastest floater). Young gun Sam Prest won with
a time of 55 minutes followed by last years winner Grant Heaney and meet-head
Hughbert Alexander. Electronics guru Peter Lissenberg had trouble reading his
GPS and went the wrong side of the lake.

Day 2

The wind was still from the south but lighter, the thermals were less reliable,
the task was longer, there were no clouds and we didn't get as high. Goal was
set at Nandaly, 61 kms cross/downwind. 9 at goal with Steve Whalley winning in
1:20. Grant was second again and Paul Kelley was 3rd. Andy Phillips was the best
of the floaters landing 1.2 km short of goal.

Day 3

A light NE wind which went north after we set up combined with cirrus and
alto-cum shading the ground made it look grim for a while. Task was set 53 km
towards Warracknabeal. It turned on at some point and pilots got good climbs to
over 5,000 ft. Paul Kelley won the day in 1:16 with Hughbert Alexander coming
second and Adam Stevens third. Noel Bear was the only floater in goal.

Day 4

It's 8:00 am here and there's not much wind but plenty of sun...
