Today was a good day for me as I finally won a FAI Cat2 race day. Lots of decision making combined with plenty of patience paid off. It was a difficult day with good racing conditions to start but then high clouds moved in and really slowed things down. I had plenty of excellent pilots fly right be me while I patiently worked light lift to stay alive until the sun broke through again. I didn't quite make it to goal, but was only a couple of kilometers short. The next closest pilot was 9 kilometers out. Don't know what the point spread will be with no pilots in goal but should be a great start for me either way....
The organization is getting much better - primarily because the technical director is now the meet organizer. The original organizer is now just flying the comp instead of running it.
Weather looks better tomorrow and is supposedly gonna be better each day so should be a good week of flying. Looking forward to hooking up with Sue in Valle de Bravo next week!
