Day 5, Task 2. They decided to give us an 86 mile task today with one turnpoint. I launched near the back of the line but had a good tow up to a gaggle. Long story short, I had an AWESOME flight. I made goal and not too far behind the leaders I think. I came in with Jeff Shapiro and Ben Dunn, but I'm not sure which start time they took. I'll have to wait until tommorrow to see the results. I'm glad I had this flight since I was pretty bummed about yesterday's flight. It was great conditions with my averager on some climbs stuck on 900 fpm.
There was a bit of confusion on where exactly goal was and I just landed where I saw other gliders. Turns out the land owner did not appreciate us there and made us hike our gear out about 1/2 mile under one fence and over another gate. At least he didn't call the police?
Here is a clip of some in flight footage I shot while on glide. Looking forward to tommorrow.
