Flying Scot Midwinter Warm-up Day 1

Not a lot of warming going on today, except maybe for Al Terhune who scored two bullets to take the lead. Conditions for the first race were overcast with light to medium breeze and fairly comfortable. Far more comfortable than in the second race which featured steady rain and a good amount of misery. Between the two races we brushed up on our starting skills by having several general recalls and one RC postponement. The Z flag served to straighten out the fleet in short order.

Here is a graph of todays wind
