You know what? I am bored. I released a post this morning thinking that would reset my mindset. A new email from Alain Zoller arrived in the meantime. Maybe he is right, let’s can the event altogether, no production glider conforms to EN-D criteria or to the sample gliders hold by test-houses. Something is dead.

Nevertheless, a task was set. But as the whole task committee was not present it had to be changed, which took enough time for a thick veil to park above our heads. I tried to take the start upwind, with Richard and Pepe. And if we did not land before the start it was only a short delay before we were grounded. Except for Pepe, a wise fox, who is still flying and has a chance to win such a task.

Two days to go! Just do something, someone, please.
