Monarca 2011–Task 4–Cancelled

Today the forecast showed that the winds would be picking up to around 25Km at 12,000ft. At launch it started off a bit like Monday, mild then strong,  but got progressively worse far quicker. A lot of blown launches and collapses in mid air. The clouds were developing very quickly and it was easy to see that this was going to be a hard task.

At 12:25, 5 minutes before the task started they cancelled the race.  I hadn’t launched as I could see the weather deteriorating, so it was a quick ride back to the LZ to see those who were still in the air take only 1 glide from Espina back to the LZ!

The next 2 days looks like being the same weather wise so it may be the end of the comp after only 3 tasks. Fingers crossed the weather system blows through quickly.
