WGC2014 – Räyskälä, Finland
2 July (another no-contest
day)
by John Good
Our last two weathermen are in North Korea.
Hopefully they will learn they must please their audience!
Just a short report today – of yet another valiant but
failed attempt at a soaring task. We
gridded all gliders, waited patiently, and actually saw enough narrow bands of
sunlight to give us hope that the low clouds and rain showers might give way to
something better.
But the low-pressure system just north of Räyskälä continued
to swirl new moisture into our area, and rendered hopes forlorn – around 2:30
all tasks were canceled. By evening,
gaps between clouds were larger, occasional sun was seen, and we even enjoyed a
brief bright rainbow – which we’d like to think is an omen of something better
on the way. We are running out of days
at WGC2014 (just three remain) and we need to do more flying.
