Breakfast on the terrace in the early sunshine for me & Don whilst we waited for a few more pairs of hands to arrive. Forecasts were consulted and it was decided that we'd stay launching eastwards despite the possibility of the wind veering westerly during the morning. A good call as it turned out and we stayed that way all day in the end.
First launch at 0910. We were aiming for 0900 but a cable repair thwarted us. Better luck next time.
Busiest student was Marta who took 13 launches, most of them launch-failure exercises, which kept the winch driver on his toes too.
Mike Keller achieved another half-hour Bronze leg so the prize is in sight.
Mike Gadd, a former member, dropped in and we are looking forward to seeing him again soon.
Trevor disappeared for a couple of hours in the Jantar
The day was rounded off with a beer and a chat in the clubhouse before we all set off home.
