Rob Kells Memorial – The Florida Ridge – Day 6
A quick update on today...........
Task 4
125km - 5 turnpoints back to The Ridge for Goal
Jonny first in
I had a lovely flight today all on my loansome apart from the last 15km and came in to land second (taking an earlier start to Jonny) I will maybe get 3rd on the day, we will see?
Jonny should be in the lead after today but the points are very tight at the top!
The glider is flying lovely and I'm here to have fun and enjoy my flying and that's what I am doing - let the big factory boys fight it out for the win I say.
There is talk that the Race & Rally might start a day early 'cos Saturday looks like a record breaking day according to Davis. Sunday looks stormy.

Rob Kells Memorial – The Florida Ridge – Day 6
Task 4 - 125kms double dogleg out and return
Looks like a nice day at The Ridge. Very hot this morning with mist and now blue sky. Having my first cup of tea in the U.S They don't have kettles over here! They stopped drinking tea during the revolution to piss the English off as it was taxed so highly hence all the coffee. Belinda told me that. I have probably got it wrong but its near;-)
Suffering from fire ants trying to eat me. My ankles are now bandaged and all the pussy lumps are popped and cleaned out with alcohol and bacterial cream. They were leaking and all the flies were having dinner on me! Thanks for the cream and medicine Dave, fellow Yorkshireman! And the kettle:-)

Rob Kells Memorial – The Florida Ridge – Day 5
Task 3
84.9km - Winner Christopher Zimmerman
Had a good day even though the sky looked iffy. We did try and put the task back an hour but people were just too keen to get off the ground so we probably missed a right nice afternoon. Had a great start and took the second clock which was a glide at cloud base almost to the first turn point. I was flying with a Moyes that got towed to cloudbase, 1 min before the second clock on the edge of the circle;-) Nice work if you can get it.
I could see nothing but overcast on route so just tried to be patient and wait for the clouds to develop in the bit of blue. It was windy and crossed almost 90' which made life a little hard. Should have hung on another hour.
The glider is flying real nice and sweet - the carbon stinger will be the cherry on the cake.

Rob Kells Memorial – The Florida Ridge – Day 3
TASK 1
A short task today (48k) and I was not expecting to fly again as it was pants in the morning. The sky opened out and the cu started a popping even with the amazing amount of rain yesterday. It was nice to see so many smiling faces when we were setting up this morning. It makes such a change. I had to drink to the weather gods last night to make it happen of course;-) The guys are all sucking on beers back here at the Ridge laughing and frolicking in the evening sun.
I landed 10km short in an overcast sky but I really enjoyed flying the new wing. It will take a little bit of dialling into but is very similar in handling to the Combat so shouldn't be too hard I hope. Tomorrow looks better as the ground should have dried out a lot so we might get a nice high base.
