There's a documentary about the Morning Glory on
www.morninggloryaustralia.com
A good background, including some of the earliest soaring of the Glory
in G109s (Russell White, Geoff Sim) and hang gliders (Al "Dr. Death"
Giles and Conrad Lotan).
You'll notice how much waiting around is involved.
Geoff Pratt has had very good luck, catching many Glories. His flight
on the 24th was I believe the longest ever XC from Burketown, on or
off the OLC.

Take a look at this flight on a map! After suddenly realizing that
much of the flight was so far out at sea I just stood up from my work
desk and started clapping in awe. Got some strange looks from fellow
workers. Bravo! Must have been amazing!
