I flew yesterday, and it was nice. We launched earlier (1:30 for me.)
I flew to LaMesa and 1/2 way back. Total distance about 66 miles. Only one other pilot flew away from the airport, most stayed nearby. I landed because there was a T-storm behind me and one over the goal at Big Spring Airport in front of me. I just glided as far as possible and ignored the lift.
I got my glider in the bag but not zipped up before the rain came. My glider and gear (and I) got very wet. My driver arrived 2 minutes after the rain stopped.
I had a great time, though!
Weather should be better by the start of the meet. No flying today, it is raining already. The forecast looks good for the meet except maybe the 1st day.
