July 9 - Task time change and Gate opening time

The task for both classes was reduced to 2 hours.  The sky is about 4/8 Cu based, I estimate at about 3,200'ASL.  It's about 29C with a light easterly breeze.

Club gate opened at 1349.

FAI gate opened at 1352.

Many competitors have availed themselves of the opportunity to leave quickly...  The sky appears to be improving, though it's hazy.  I expect the sky will improve as they go to the east, since it is dryer there.  It's east, then south, then north to Montebello, and back...  See my earlier post for details.

First returns should be about ten to four local.

Crews are returning to the clubhouse and changing to frolic in the pool.  Life is hard when you're sailplane racing!
