It seems there is a glimmer of hope on the tug front - we may be able to use CUR, but not sure yet. Another day of phone calls and emails trying to sort something out.
Meanwhile we got the winch out, and were able to launch Harry in the Ventus and Wendy in her LS8. Wendy got away first time, but Harry ended up needing three launches. Rod self launched in the DG again. I am not sure where they went, but they stayed up until well after the night shift (kangaroos) had started coming out onto the strip.
Gerhard Stuck arrived in the afternoon and rigged his glider.
The Steel for the tracks for the new hangars arrived this afternoon too.
It seems that most of the people who signed up for the butts bash are coming up anyway even if we don't have a tug. It will be a good social event, and getting away from a winch launch will sort the men from the boys - or perhaps the men from the women! I am looking forward to it.
So check your belly hooks, and make sure you are winch current, or you won't be able to enjoy the fun.
