DO NOT try this at home....

When I was about 10 or so I wanted to marry Paul McCartney. Mom had to
break my heart by telling me that he already had a wife. What a blow!

We're strolling around the streets of Liverpool today, taking in all
the Beatles sites and a bit of shopping.

It's been cool and a bit rainy at times, but a very pretty place. Reminds me a bit of central California after a long winter of rain - everything is lush a green. It blows me away that these English pilots fly tasks in weather that most would never consider flying in...not dangerous, just stuff that looks like total crap. Not difficult to see why they're so good then. Today is the first day that was canned - they've had three decent tasks so far - better than I've heard is normal for a UK comp.

Yesterday Lukas and my glider were measured before the task and after we landed at goal.

Our great sailing adventure is over :-( Tim, German, Nico and Donna
are hanging out in Barcelona for a few more days then on to Bilboa.
I'm in a ridiculously long line to check in for my flight to
Liverpool. Never have I been so happy to be going to a cold, rainy,
grey place ;-)

Today the wind calmed down, cloudbase was at about 1500 m and a task of 120 km to the Polish border was set.

Today the wind is really strong again, so the day was cancelled for the flex wings, for the rigids they are still waiting for a decision.
