Rest Day

Today was a rest day between the Rob Kells Memorial Competition at the Florida Ridge and the Flytec Rally from Clewiston Florida and Lookout Mountain Tennessee.  Jamie was extremely organized and registration was quick and painless for the rally this morning.  We had a brief pilots meeting this evening and are ready to go in the morning.

Patrick, Bill, and I stopped in to watch some paragliders tow up on some nearby roads.  This is Dave's towing rig and Dave towing up for a 40 mile (64 km) triangle that ended back at the flight park.


Later in the afternoon Johnny tuned and tested a new glider.


At lot of pilots stopped in at the Gater Bait Pub for "steak night" and some live country-blues music.  Although they were crowded it was a good time.

Tomorrow the rally hits the road.  First goal is Quest Air in Orlando.

(I want to thank Mel and Christan for driving my truck to Orlando today.)
