Day 1

We woke up to overcast skies and the sound of rain on the tin roof of our hotel. The forecast calls for off and on rain all day with the occasional thunderstorm mixed in. There is a high probability that the day will be canceled - not a good start for the 34th Worlds.

More later

The day was canceled at 11am

I am taking this opportunity to attend the OSTIV (Organisation Scientific et Technique Internationale du Vol à Voile) conference which is running for a week parallel to the Worlds. Very interesting presentations delivered by the likes of Gerhard Waibel (the father of the ASW-series gliders)
