Another windy but lovely day in south Florida. The boys seem to be getting faster by the day. I sped north at a hundred miles an hour to try to make goal ahead of them, but lost the race again. Dustin is on fire and blazed through the course yesterday, winning the day and getting a bit closer to Andre in the overall standings. Andre came in second with Jonny third.
Yesterday's goal was great fun for the retrieve drivers - no road in...oops. We drove around trying to get in from all directions only to give up and start hoofin' it in the end. Chris Zimmerman made a wise choice, thermalling up at goal and continuing on to the beach.
The Dream Team has taken a significant lead in the team competition. All but one of them was at goal yesterday (Glen got extremely airsick and landed short after nearly losing his vision altogether). Davis had a bad day and landed inside the start circle.
Little Zhenya from Russia is having a great meet. Had her personal best flight yesterday, missing goal by just 8 km. I'm crossing my fingers for her today. She's getting some great training in and special training tips from Jonny and is shaping up to be a great pilot!!
Today is yet another windy one, with a fair bit more development. We're heading the same direction, but a bit further at 145km.

100mph not 55? Is that why you call yourself a naughty lawyer? :)
