Weather was much as forecast with varying amounts and types of cloud which made for an interesting sky-watching day. The wind was quite fresh but rather more northerly than would presage a classic Brentor wave day. And so it turned out, with broken wave coming & going to tease and tantalise the healthy crowd who turned out.

| A busy launchpoint with at least one member looking for divine guidence |
Four consecutive cable breaks on the north drum announced the end of life of the wire so we soldiered on with the south drum only. No more failures and a creditable, under the circumstances, 32 launches by the time we retired to the clubhouse. Nigel Williamson worked hard most of the day to gain his wings (or is that "wincs") on the Guslaunch.
Longest flight was just shy of half an hour. Even Trevor in the Jantar1 failed to get away despite flapping his wings furiously (or was it turbulence?) but everyone who wanted to fly had their fill. The sky was littered with lenticulars as we packed the toys away for another day.
