Equation with one unknown - the bookmakers wasted opportunity- 04.01.2010
Yesterday excess of gliding wealth and crazy white water rafting on the rocks, with the close scrutiny of restrictions on the operation of gliders, and today, in the second competition, contestants had to scrimp kilometers very laboriously, constantly controlling the quality of the trees in the lower heights. Speeds were also central-european.

 Where is Kawa?

 

Organizers broke some major technical problems in implementing a computer simulation flights, but the reality of our borderland, almost a European country, strongly reminded of itself. Michał's agora didn't work - a pity, because you can now do pretty good bets for locating Sebastian.
However, in our zabajkalskoj oblasti, the Internet sitll cut off the connection and a computer behave as there were all the mice from the cellar in it.  It was good that Krzysiu was here, otherwise I'd do harm to the operator of the local network and my roaring box would flew into a container on wheels.
Because the tracking system informed that Sebastian glider is at the airport and the swarm of gliders still hangs over mountain in release zone, and there were also re-occurred tows, I assumed that he decided to wait on the ground for the expected improvement in miserable conditions. However, when the company moved into the mountains and the yellow box with RP still has not shown any movement, a meager creature jumped me by the collar and continually search for new and disturbing whispers aimed at the destruction of my belief in the relay decstruction.

However, when the company floated from the mountains, on the basis of the conduct of take-offs, I was ready to make a big bet that our couple started today on a route wing to wing. Today's conditions did not provide too many alternatives when choosing the route. It was necessary to stick to the first chain of the Andean hills and enjoy each variometer arrow upwards.
Since each of these daredevils deserves the laurel wreath, then the roller rolled out evenly over the next and next hill, until halfway of the route near the airport.  There are two approaches clashed, Teutonic group, led by Kiessling, continued to fly along the ridge leading to the high mountains in the north, and the second group accompanying  Carlos, although a small amount, far departed from the mountains and passing airport moved to the hill in release point.The race began anew, but Ola Terronen was too low at release point and had to drain the riverbed to the airport.
Here I was ready to accept a second bet that my child, despite theoretical considerations, will trust in faith, experience  and instinct of Carlos.
Kiessling and his adjutants can speak about the great happiness. Breezes sail quickly ended and now, therefore, the ridge was not able to reach them to the saving rocks. They had to go back and also look for salvation in release point.  It seemed that he will make a Fin's manoeuvre  - but with a stony plot on finale, but handsome, Mario has a special favours in Fortune- being in a hopeless situation, he found a beautiful thermal from the land to the borders of inversion.
I would make an another bet, when the players after passing the north end of the route flew in the direction of Laguna, over the local bank to improve a little bit of altitude and Uli Schwenk relatively quickly jumped of the queue for the cash and flew to the next turning point. I was convinced that he has company which I know.

This maneuver made that Uli and Carlos and Staszek little behind him arrived well in advance of the slope, which gave a chance for a good thermals. Mario carefully used the end of a good thermal and went in pursuit of the 500-meters advantage of height. If the hill lifts work properly he could leave others behind, but Eol entertained  somewhere with nymphs and top gliders weren't moving quickly enought .Sticked to ridges, they descent again to the slopes of the start mountain. Despite the limited altitude, Uli flowed through the city to the next band, but Carlos and Staszek had to stop again in this place for cirlce the height and soon they were joined by another group of pilots. At this point caution of Kiessling resulted. Surplus of height allowed him to continue the flight after stroke. Unfortunately, jumped up Carlos and Staszek's mountain. It seemed that he surpasses Schwenk, when he, on his route on the south end, had to save on hill lifts induced by a small hill, but eternal optimism of Uli, and perhaps an example or a hint of an invisible partner, led him to take the risk of passing round ridges, which were blocking the access to the slopes exposed to the wind.  Manewr się udał i Uli już bez problemów , choć bardzo nisko, dreptał w objęcia sympatycznej rodziny. He succeded and with no problems, although very low, Uli toddled into the arms of a nice family. My computer often insulted to the commentators and I was shocked with the information  on the chat, that Sebastian landed in a field. It was possible under these conditions, but subsequent entries calmed the rhythm of my heart.

 

RP taxied to the apron and the pilot could reach the standard boules with roasted meat.

... or such a great fruits.

In the morning, Vitacura will be visited by our TV crew accompanying local  Paris - Dakar Race.
The result of my bets will by known only when I will be able to read the logs.
