The weather here in Florida for the last 5 days has been superb! πŸ˜‹ Yesterdays task consisted of a 390km racing task and the winners speed was 121 kph. Climbs ranged from 4-7 knots with ample cumulus. Cloud base began at 5k at 1pm and increased to 6k by the finish. There were many air-masses, sea breeze lines and several large holes to contend with and this separated the group significantly on the 3rd leg. Congrats to Jerzy, Sean and Rich for rounding out the top 3.
