Day 7 - Contest Day 3/4

Good Morning Canada

It looks like we have another difficult day on our hands. The weather forecasts this morning were not very positive but we had hopes they would be wrong when we saw nice cu developing around the Szeged area at noon. Unfortunately, the tops just kept going up and now it looks like it will be over-developing anytime soon. There is rain and lightning west of the Danube which is to the west of here. Although the first leg for all classes goes to the west, they can turn well short of the showers. So far there is no precip in the eastern task area.

As of 13:50 the start gates for all classes are open. Jerzy and Willem are on task. Willem encountered dropping cloud bases on the first leg to the west and has announced that he is abandoning the task and will return to Szeged.

Initially both the A and B tasks for 15m were set almost completely into Serbia but fortunately, the organizers reconsidered and announced a C task that at least keeps them in Hungary. The crossing of the Serbian border for a retrieve, although a lot smoother now, is still an adventure and one never knows what will happen.

The tasks today are fairly short, so let's keep our fingers crossed that Jerzy and Dave complete their tasks and make it back!
