Wet wet wet





So we had a 4 part task called flying from around Cargo to the North and flying back to town.

Tasks were FIN, GBM, FON, FON.

The weather was marginal to say the least and as we rolled out the launch period was delayed by 30min but not the scoring periods. This meant you had to get off early.

The last FON was also cancelled prob because the weather may not hold.

Let me be clear. It was not a day for flying balloons a as we took off it started raining on us. A couple of big burns an went down, always fun.

With the safety officer uncontactable I called the director to let him know it was now raining. Flight cancellation followed shortly afterwards.

So a 7 minute flight now leaves me with a soaking wet balloon and not super happy.
