Our last day. One last chance to figure things out, put it all together. Conditions were great, just like the last two days. The Race task they called was challenging but not as long as the previous days. And a whopping 52 happy pilots out of 67 made goal. Dave and Maui Igor made it in for their first time after over 4 hours each. I came in too low at the second turnpoint and gave up after a long time scratching low over tall trees. The Sprinters had a great task too, with half the field of 80 pilots in goal. Marty was 5th in to goal, followed by Thom and Joey for their second goals of the meet.
