Day 6

Today we had a mixed bag of weather with cu spreading out to start the day and then cirrus moving in later.  Fortunately, the moisture dried out to stop the spread out and most of the cirrus stayed south of the task area.

 

Unfortunately, for the third day in a row we had a turnpoint at Torgau which has been a hole every other day and today was no different.  Torgau is just south of the Elbe river and there is not much lift along the river.  Needless to say I had a bad time on that leg and spent most of it between 2200 - 3300 AGL..

 

I was 95 km/hr today and most of the pack was in the 105-110 range, so the few holes lost me lots of time and speed.

 

There have been very few days here where the weather has not had some sort of trick to it, be it wind, or spread out or cirrus clouds, but the airmasses have been unstable enough that we can still get around.
