Rob Kells Memorial - Day 6, 7 - Shaded

The safety committee cancelled day 6 due to the wind.  Everyone quickly scattered after breaking down gliders.  I spent an exciting afternoon at the laundromat while others drove to Fort Myers.  The wind let up later in the afternoon and Randy went for a quick XC flight.  Allen, Jim, and I picked him up in his "small" LZ and then stopped for ice cream.

We snacked on a sample of the boar that Dave killed earlier and Jen and Louie dressed out.

We were concerned about the weather for the last day.  Rain and thunderstorms were forecasted for late afternoon so we launched early into the building sky.  The task was essentially an out-and-back to the northwest.   A low save near the field saved me from towing again and allowed me to be at the start circle for the first start.  We had a couple climbs but mostly smooth glides into a shaded sky.  I landed after rounding the far turn point with Jochen.  Davis, Tulio, Julia, Charlie, and Dustin eventually settled into the same spot.

Bill and Patrick showed up with the bug-mobile before the rain moved in.  Thanks!
