six task ... Stefan Smoker fatal accident
opinion team boss Martin Scheel (Switzerland) "Dear Friends"
I only found out after my very good flight to the finish of the accident. It has taken us all. Although we will fly again, but of course I do not know how well I can handle it at the competition. We will see what the next few days bring.

How To Get Chapstick Out Of A Jacket
the early Breafing perplexed faces were visible. This did not bode well! The task now should be really difficult. The first buoy went into the flat land, then back over the plateau in the opposite direction behind Valle de Bravo. It was clear that this buoy could not be approached directly. We went back to the plateau towards "Pe" (Near the launch site) - meant the upwind Lee. After Peñon back to the lowlands in unknown territory. Again, no direct evidence as it should be flown. Then it should go back into the high plateau and the finish (a farm east of the last buoy).
Peñon The race started as usual at 12:45. Today was rather stubborn and I cashed in Startpulk more rattle. Unfortunately, I was not really the start and retrace was difficult. Wind Puts the beards are very tough and strong. It took too long to get up. Finally back on the path towards 2nd buoy, was already clear that this would be a lot of hard work. It was not really good high and I managed, despite many attempts did not return to the plateau. Shortly after the 2nd buoy, I was again on the ground - the Reslutat: 44.6 km. Slowly, but it is depressing! But tomorrow is another day and we will see what will happen.
