10 July - Raining - No Contest Day

The surface winds are southerly 10 gusting 25. Little lift forecast. We're taking a rest day, and doing a "laundro-MAT" task. 

We're doing a roundtable on AAT and MAT task strategy later today - once everyone's clothes are smelling sweet. Tonight is next big social event: Lucile's pulled-pork sandwiches.

The preliminary scores are now unofficial for 9 July (originally I had blogged 10 July) Mea Culpa.

Joerg (JS) and Chris (WS) described their winning strategy and chose from an assortment of adult beverages. 

Soaring NV provided gifts for pilots and hard-working groundcrew - thanks for everything from the good folks in Minden.

Tomorrow looks - challenging.  We should be able to get two more days in.

There is a good blog from a crew point of view at http://www.sosaglidingclub.com/2013-canadian-nationals.html

In the evening, an impressive thunder-bumper went through -- lots of rain and thunder.  GGC president Doug Laurie-Lean gave a presentation on WWII interesting facts - he's an amazing historian.
