Task 3

We woke up this morning to high winds and not much hope of a task. But halfway into breakfast, the winds started to back off a bit so we called a briefing and rather short (84km) crossing/downwind task. The Princess is whiny and his usual pessimistic self, and he's probably right, but we're going to give it a shot anyway. The forecasts are saying the wind should back down to possibly something reasonable by 2. So, the current plan is to open launch at 1:30 with the first start at 3:00. Our fingers are crossed.

Love the facilities here. There was a group of Parrot Heads here for the weekend, but now that they're gone, we have the run of the place. Here is our briefing room/margarita bar/scoring room/headquarters, etc.

Jamie,

Who is the Princess and why was he or she whiny?

Also, what the heck are parrot heads.

Thanks,
Ole

"The Princess" is Dustin (as in Princess Dustina). Can't help on the parrot heads - aliens, libertarians, hippies? Who knows?
