Second task in 89 km was like on this picture =)

First part of task was easy to fly like yesterday - cloud base up to 3500 meters and normal wind on altitude. But some pilots who took off too late bombed out under take off. There was cloudstreet from first turnpoint to the B28 and back to the end of flat mountain.

I caught first group at the end of plateau and then all pilots tried to do "out-and-return" in valley with strong face wind (up to 20 km/h). I mean "out" to thermal and "return" to previous position due to face wind. So first group found strong thermal at the middle of valley and then go to last turnpoint B10 and goal.. Another great group with ~40 loosers made goal after first group but out of time - task deadline was 6 pm... Today no photos cause I forgot my cam in hotel..
