Forbes Day 3 - Task 1

Finally we get a task! 168km triangle in beautiful conditions.  I reeeeeeeealy enjoy the flying here.  I got a fantastic start with Jonny boy.  Of course, I wasn't with him for more than about 20 seconds, but that was alright.  Strong climbs with the smoothest lift around the first turnpoint.  I made it about 85 km around, about 5 km short of the second turnpoint.  Would have been a heavenly flight all around if not for pounding in and breaking an upright....ooops, it's been a very long time since I've done that.

Looks like Carl will be second for the day!!!!

Here I am with my broken upright :-( (still smiling though)

Better a broken upright than a broken neck!
Have fun and be safe!
