The poor weather continues unabated. A very low cloudbase accompanied by a
strong, gusty southerly wind kept the gliders in the hangar once more.
 |
| The cloud base was very low once again. |
The day was not wasted though. Early on, while Don shut away in the office
creating a new training card, Rick and David spent several hours flitting a
ground radio in the Vitara which was looking ( and smelling ) much better after
it’s extensive valet by Heather last Wednesday.

An then came the day’s main event. Don was in full flow delivering a great
lecture about weather. The subject ranged from how to obtain and interpret the
214 & 215 met reports to Tephigrams and their uses for soaring predictions.
Great stuff.

There may be a flyable break in the weather tomorrow.
