Forbes 2015 – Day 2

We woke up to blue skies, but quite windy conditions. The forecast was for winds to die down during the day, but strong chance of overdevelopment near Forbes. So the task was set to take us away from the bad weather, 185km.

I took the first startgate at 13:45 to get away from the building weather and rain, and had a very good run all the way to 35km from goal, where I was out in front in a very good position for a fast final glide, I just needed one more thermal. I spotted and went 4-5km 90 degrees of the courseline aiming for a large dustdevil that I was sure would give me the last strong thermal I needed to get fast to goal. But it was not to be, it was just weak lift and I had to take a 1-2m/s thermal from 1200m to 3000m, loosing a lot of time. Too bad, had it worked I would have been very fast.

Olav and Olav were just before me in goal, while Thomas took a day off.  Zack smoked the course and were the fastest by a good margin. We were hit by major weather on the way home, a massive gustfront almost ripped the gliders off the roof of the car.

Nice conditions – Cloudbase at over 3000m;
