Jaca 2011 Week 3 Day 2

Brighter skies and a more promising forecast but a risk of rain advancing from the south east.

Undeterred by the increasingly dark skies behind Cuculo the gliders were duly checked and taken down to the launch point.

At this point we should have taken the hint when the tugs and the local club gliders were put back in the hanger. Sure enough the mountains to the south were soon shrouded by cloud and it started raining on the airfield.

The rain passed but there was never enough sun or wind to make launching worthwhile as a Finnish Duo Discus proved late afternoon.

Alternative activities included getting lost in Jaca (Peter and Steve), drilling inspection holes in the wing of a Nimbus (Gordon), drinking beer and discussing brewing techniques (everyone else).

The forecast is good for tomorrow.

Bob.
