The best news from the weekend is that we had a ground school session inside the clubhouse with five fully vaccinated attendees! It has been a long time since something so normal has seemed normal.
Both days were cold. Saturday was a bust due to drizzly conditions, and Sunday got off to a slow start with the overcast, wind, and ground school session. Finally, Greg and Rick went up in the Blanik for a review of spins, and Henry and Rick flew the 2-33 which really needs some sealing work.
Tim stopped towing and took off in BU at 4pm, for a very interesting 2.5 hour flight. At 6pm he reported that he was five miles out and would be landing shortly. The cloudstreet that brought him back to Post Mills kept on going for 20 more miles. He turned around somewhere around Canaan, New Hampshire and rode the street all the way back home.
Three members with perfectly good gliders (Sonny, Don, Dennis) stayed on the ground and worked as ground crew. This was much appreciated, but they missed some good flying at the end of the day.
