Monday, July 8 - Day Nine of My Captivity

Another non-flying day, but, as usual, the contestants rigged and sat on the grid for a few hours before scrubbing the day.
 
As Master Wilson was sitting in the shade, under the Single Seat Team W2 umbrella, in his what-I-can-only-assume-to-be comfortable chair, he was watching me wax and polish the glider, and he had an idea. He reasoned that the same arm motion would deliver a top-notch back rub massage.
 
He cobbled together a massage table from three wing stands, and set me to work. This attracted some interest from other pilots. Master Wilson made some financial arrangements and then had me carry on, FAI Class first, then Club Class.
 
I am pictured here removing stress from Yves Bastien, K1.
 
A strenuous day, but it was a treat to be out from my lodging under the glider trailer for a few hours.
