Yet another win for Bruce! He made tricky conditions look easy today.
The buzz here is amazing. They are all scratching their heads here wondering where all these Aussies have come from. Here to make up the numbers? I don't think so.
It was a slightly nasty experience for me today. Didier Hauss and I both got caught in horrendous wavy sink off the start line. In the end we needed another couple of hundred feet to clear a saddle to make it to the first ridge, but it might as well have been on the other side of the moon. Going on would have been catastrophic. We had to do a U turn in 8kts down and glide out to the river flats where the sink stopped. But there is never any lift there either at that altitude so that was that for both of us.
I'm really hoping this wind goes away and we can have some normal weather.
But, good weather or bad... Go Bruce!!!
