No afternoon flight today. The rain had mostly stopped and with some signs of convection and instability the flight was cancelled.
It is a difficult thing. We don't want to be sent off in stupid conditions but at the same time, right now I want as many tasks as we can get. For me it was acceptable for a flight. If out for a jolly I would have considered it, for some in the competition it probably wasn't. Such is life.
Interestingly, one balloon not in the competition was seen scooting along for a flight in the distance - I suppose we will hear from them if it was a good call or not.
It looks like we have three flights left so with some luck that is still 10 more tasks but more likely to be 7 based on the trend of 3 in the morning and 1 in the afternoon. Here is hoping for 10!
