I’m annoyed.
I’ve got nothing to moan about.
The first task of the World’s was run yesterday in glorious weather. The organisation was perfect, the take off was in fantastic condition and the launch ordering system used to get everyone off quickly worked well and minimised queues. The task was an intelligently set race with a lovely glide into the goal in Valle de Bravo, which was full of cheering crowds and pretty girls. The retrieves for those that needed them were quick and if you made goal the ever friendly flight director J.C. gave you a massive high-5 and directed you to a beer and food tent if you were hungry or thirsty. Download went smoothly, the computers didn’t crash and they’d laid on free coffee and Red Bull to sip whilst you waited.
Even Vittor, the unfortunate FAI Observer whose lift I stole at the airport when I arrived was smiling and in good humour which is unusual for hard-pressed volunteers at these events.
Team Leaders were standing around chatting to each other in the late afternoon sun rather than flicking through rule books looking for ways to be difficult.
Hell, even the weather is cooperating as the latest forecasts are for light winds and perfect flying conditions for the rest of the week, a huge improvement from two days ago.
This can’t be allowed to go on – I shall have nothing to write about…!
