Sorry for no posts last few days, long days [even rest days] and always seem to be rushing.
Second last day was the fastest of the comp. I started late and was still with a good pack, SS, XXL and A at the second turn. After that the difference between 800kg and 850kg started to tell and I fell off the back, also slower on final glide.
Yesterday went OK with an early start but I lost 25-30mins under 1000' about 30km from home just over the Serbian border.
Today the forecast was bad so David decided to de-rig. We were the last to grid just in time for the cancellation. Congrats to Michael Sommer in Open who made it 3 in a row!
As we were de-rigging Kerrie's bag was lifted off the front seat of the van with all the money we had got out to finalise accommodation and her glasses, phone, camera etc.
Just back from 3 hours at the Cop shop!
We leave with fond memories of many of the people here but a sour taste in our mouths generally.
Off to the dinner as thunder rolls.
See you on an Aussie gliding field soon! Kerrie will continue to update on our blog, we have about 2000km more to do in the trannie with the Nimbus on the back!
Tom
