December 30th, first "casualty" of the WGC...



The day started with overcast and the morning briefing was semi-optimistic with possible soaring after 2-3 PM for the “brave ones”.
The team worked on gliders checking, fitting and rechecking again. Just before noon we erected our gazebo with Maple Leaf on the top.
That was bad timing… 30 min later we got hit with extremely heavy downpour that flooded the entire airfield. The amount of water collected on the gazebo was way too much and the entire structure collapsed.

Hopefully it can be saved – with the very strong sun (sic!) the shade is a must for everybody.


By 11 we can see sun peaking  through the clouds.


 Everybody is busy, gazebo up


Rain started, taking shelter in the club house...


Few minutes later - can you see the gliders?


Maria under the roof AND umbrella.
