A cold southerly wind was blowing at Bunyan today. Early reports were saying that there might be some wave later in the day. I got the glider ready early, checked the oxygen, water supply, muesli bars, GPS, GoPro, outlanding kit.
The weather report at morning briefing was not so optimistic. Wave unlikely. Strong winds, some low clouds and showers. Changing through the day. The local pilots call Bunyan The Weather Factory and it is living up to its reputation. I was keen to fly, so hoped for the cloud to lift and the strong winds to ease a bit. A few of us hung around with gliders at the ready. We gave up about 2pm with no hope of weather improvement.
There’s always tomorrow. (Temp forecast zero degrees.) Dinner at the RSL – big steak, very good.
