The tug went to Armidale on 29 March for its 100 hourly, so we have been using the winch since then - should be back in the next day or two.
Brian W turned up on Tuesday to fly. He went up with Gerhard on the winch - they got away for a good soaring flight. Brian is from Germany but works in China - he flew from China to Melbourne then drove to Lake Keepit for two days flying with us, and then had to return! What dedication! Brian is presolo, so flew with Gerhard on the two days he had. I drove the winch, and John pulled the rope out and ran the wing. Plenty of soaring available and good cumulus.
John and I visited Coffs Harbour on the weekend - driving not flying. Another exciting trip along windy roads with the occasional flood to negotiate. Miserable weather on the coast - sunny back at Keepit!
