We had two great days of Racing along the Bluffs of Monterey Bay. There was a bit of controversy over the final results as you will see. I spoke with the parties involved and all has been rectified.

Marina Beach Finals

Marina Beach Finals - After a close race on saturday the organiser decided to make the race more fun. Instead of the short course they wanted to fly the long and famous race to the steeple and back. This is about 14 miles total distance and the record for this task was set by John Borton flying a Aeros. I believe his time was around 16 mins so they were keen to see if we could beat that time.

After waking up at 3:30am and making the 6.5hr drive north to Marina beach for the Festival of Winds,the conditions turned on.
There was not much wind when we arrived but they locals told us to set up and g et ready for when it comes in. There were a few attempts in the floater gliders and once they were able to stay up,it was time to bring out the Litespeed RS.
