20th June - Reds & Whites
Posted: Sat Jun 20, 2009 11:20 pmIt was forecast to be NW all day, but luckily the sun did appear and set up a SW sea breeze from 1pm until 7pm.
It was strong but nice as usual when i got to the Reds at 3pm, gave John a call who was with the Solstice Cup gang that were suffering from ground suck at Atherfield.
Slowly they migrated to the Reds for some strong but smooth flying. Plenty of height to be had on the whites.
I was a bit confused at one point as one Pilot with a red streamer was flying faster than me (top weight on a Aspen 2), but later i found out it was Laurie flying a medium wing he had borrowed from Dave Botha!
