1 Jul - Practice Day 1 - as forecast

We're still waiting for two competitors to arrive; JS and OX arrived yesterday.  Good to see old friends.

In honour of Canada Day, a popular fireworks display lit up the skies - OOOOOOOHHHH.  AAAAHHHH...

Here are the results of the first practice day; the lift was light and infrequent.  One competitor made it to Hawkesbury/Montreal Soaring Council, and got a tow back.  The automatic file system worked ok, but a few snags needed to be fixed.  All in all, a good day's work.  Light rain overnight, and briefing is in about a half hour.
Compulsory pilots' meeting at 1900 in the GGC Clubhouse; few pizza for registered competitors and crew.

It has started to rain...
