Not a contest day, but Day Four of my captivity. Master Wilson still has me chained to the glider trailer. The mosquitoes are unbearable. (The insects, not the glider. Well, sometimes the glider. Wings are heavy and punishment is swift for any mistake.) The rain at night is a blessing, cooling me down and washing off the mosquito blood. I manage to catch some rain in the trailer wheel hubcaps to wash down my diet of worms and grubs. Some refuge from the sun by lying under the trailer.
Today was not good enough to launch the grid, but from my view in the parking area I could see that Joerg and Polish Krzys and English Chris flew for an hour or so, checking out the area. Polish Krzys did well in thermalling the Jantar in such weak conditions.
Willem elected to take a rest day and think up ways to punish me for what he calls 'hate mail' from my posting a couple days ago. I am confused about that, but far too weak to complain.
Rafael Nunes had his third landout (lifetime, not today) and is shown with Fred Gray, former SOSA member on the retrieve. Also shown in the same field is what Poppa Steve Burany calls a "Bool." Next time you see him, ask Steve the difference between a Bool and a symphony orchestra.
Steve Newfield stopped by and I kept trying to flash him coded signals to call the authorities, but he seemed to think that I was just madly swatting at the insects. He was partly correct.
GGC member and contestant Martin Lacasse told amusing stories of past retrieves to get HG.
