Forbes Flatlands - practice day not so great
Well, it was a practice day. The GFS forecast was way off, but the
local Australian Bureau of Meteorology had it pretty much right with a north
wind changing to south, while GFS (both XCSkies and RASP) said west. The day
started off overcast and stayed that way most of the day getting thicker and
windier around 3 PM. The tugs weren't up to the job of getting everyone off in time and given the
poor conditions, it was a poor showing all around. Lots of weak link breaks in
some turbulent air. No safety issues due to good organization on the lines.
