Sunday 30th June

Kerry J arrived for annuals on JW, KG and VH (Roland's LS6). Phil and Jack worked on JW and Pete and John weighed KG. We launched about noon with Gary towing JW (Alan and Doug ) up to the wave cloud in the lee of the Old Man. They were followed by John, Phil, Vivienne and Pete, all flying their single-seaters, all towed to the same spot.  The last flight was Jack and Doug, again in JW.

Phil in KJ on tow.


The wave was good in a narrow height band, but the upper winds fell above 10,000 which made high climbs difficult. The Garvie wave was followed into Southland by John, and Pete took the Nevis wave to Kingston. The Dunstans had poor wave but we all checked it out anyway. We derigged in the dusk and after a quick beer headed to Monteiths for dinner.

So OK westerly wave, we all had good flights.Thanks to Gary for tows, Doug for instruction, and Kerry for coming down all the way to do our annuals! Do anyone take some pics?
