There was nice wave above the airfield from early in the day. Jack however needed a string of short flights first, and odd things occurred...like the instructor pulled the bung early, then on another flight Russell waved him off early, and finally John insisted on a few spins. Jack was probably relieved when John got out and let him fly in peace on his own! Congratulations Jack on your first solo!

| Nice easy wave! |
John's mate Kev ran the wing all day. Kev was ex Nelson GC so John took him up to experience the local wave. Russell towed them directly to the obvious secondary behind the Dunstans at they were quickly up at 13K exploring the district in the remaining hour of daylight. Upper winds were pretty light making the Dunstan wave easy to play-in with multiple bounces downwind. The Old Man wave was there but not working too well in the more northerly wind, plus it was snowing above 10,000' on and off.

ERW was busy AM with Matt and Steve W. flying, and Stephen Morton late PM. Geoff and Steve W. also flew microlight RLS for an hour during the day. Thanks to Nick for instruction and Russell for the towing.
