Just wanted to congratulate 5E and XC for great flights on Day 9! Very nice team flying Sean and Erik. They have had a tough start but nice to see them getting into the groove.

Mike Robison was only 1.6 kph behind the winner as well.

18 m and open canceled for the 20th. 15 m on the grid, but on the paved runway because so much rain came down overnight and until about 11 am that the grass runway is to muddy to use.

Forecast of 2-3 kts lift to 4000-5000 ft and 25 kts wind. It's going to be a fun day : )
