Day 2 Canadian Nationals

We launched today (both classes) at 2pm!  But it was weak (barely soarable at first) and the days weather window was extremely tight with a forecasted collapse of soarable weather by 5pm and a minimum required task distance of 140km (to get a valid day per the Canadian rules).  Dave Springford completed the task, but Joerg Stieber had to start his sustainer motor.  So it was just barely achievable.  I flew 50km out to the first turn and headed home to fight another day despite both classes tasks being cancelled.  A good trial run but no need to risk a land out.

Tomorrow questionable, then GREAT post cold front soaring weather all next week!  Fingers crossed.
