An ill-timed scrub

With the weather looking somewhat marginal via forecast, and the risk of a blow out, it was with some urgency that briefing was brief, and first launch was declared for 11h00.

However, only ID was on the grid in time and the wind beat the rest of the competitors to it as tuggie John Spargo made the prudent decision that the wind was too sever for towing.

Unfortunately, we decided to scrub, despite ID suggesting that there was some forecast information that suggested the wind might drop off.

It was with a slight blush that the director received the news from feisty Bill ("It's Party time!") Griffiths that towing was certainly possible at 14h00.

Rats!, the Gauntleteers were scrubbed too early (sigh). Sorry guys, the task setter, weather man and director all made the same error!

See you in October.
