Monday post briefing

Dave has one of the 15 satellite loggers today!  You will be able to track him around the course; this is a trial of the tracking system.  Go to http://www.wgc2012uvalde.com/, see - TRACKING - follow the race link near the top.  Fingers crossed that it works.

The task is 616.5 km Assigned Area Task (541 km min, nominal 616.5, max 694 km).  It runs southeast, west, north through 2 TPs, south-east, then home.  Grid 1200, earliest launch is 1230, Dave is #66 on the grid.  Max start altitude is 6000'.

Uvalde evevation is 941'ASL.

Weather - drying trend.  Possible sea breeze late in the day over the southern task area.
Lift trigger temp 92F/33.5C expected at 1230.  Starting 5 kts, building to 7-8 kts by 4 pm CDT.  Cloud base as high as 9500' MSL late.

At the Captains' meeting, folks were reminded they have to turn in igc files for all flights, so there should be more scores up tomorrow.  Pretty spectacular speeds - and I'm told "it's decent, but not great" weather!

Sonia says hi.

Tomorrow - hotter.  Oh boy!

Next report after the gate opens.
