Default Long flight

Mike Robison flew over 1800 km along the Bald Eagle Ridge yesterday,
Saturday.
See the OLC page:

Doug Haluza (Janus C) flew over 1,400 km in two flights while I flew over
700 km (Duo Discus.)

Doug and I both experienced very unusual early terminations of our flights
when our co-pilots could not relieve themselves, so we were forced to land
before their bladders broke! (What are the odds?)

The primal instinct to not pee into the wind is very hard to overcome
for some. ;-)
