Gridding at 10:30, first possible launch 11:30 am.
13:00 The Open class are on task, the Sports are still on the ground, praying for a scrub - it's a bit windy really.
15:00 The Sports class is scrubbed. Task setter thought it wasn't really fair to re-task and send them off downwind, just to land out for a scoring day. Apparently it's very wet just south of here.
15:45ish Sounds of finishers arriving soon.
About 16:00, J15 was first back.

17:07 W2 is 10km out.
17:20 PIO is five minutes out. Almost everyone accounted for.
18:30 Everyone accounted for. GB1 and 26Q are in a field with a locked gate and are trying to find the landowner. 90 minutes after they landed...

landed out within 10 km of finishing.
