Well the Kaimais lived up to its reputation - booming 4 - 5 m thermals, cloud base above 5000' and a bit of wind at times. (Quite a bit of wind really if you were still in the air late in the day).
All had good flights towards the railway tunnel and beyond and a couple of us flew back to the launch. There were good closeups of several sailplanes (those guys wear really funny hats). Check out some of the flights on Leonardo.
Thanks to all that made it. Where was everybody else?
Weather
Thanks Jeff for sharing your pick of site. Helps pilots not good on weather reading to know where the action is for the day.
Kaimas is XC but for some pilots looking for coastal do inform what site may work on sunday based on your experience.
Please keep this information going, well done.
