Wednesday

Still waiting on Day 4 scores...

Wednesday: Weather Light drizzle in the morning becoming heavy rain in the afternoon with strong and gusty winds.

No briefing this morning due to weather conditions, so pilots slept in or headed off to Motueka or Nelson to entertain themselves while rain came down.

The campground at Tapawera had a tree fell down and a few tent pegs were pulled out due to high winds but no reports of the inside of tents getting wet.

Late afternoon everyone meet at the Hidden Sculpture Garden Café for the midweek BBQ which Glenn had organised. And I must say he did a great job for a vegetarian. A large box of steak was consumed along with sausages and some fine vegetarian patties for the many vegetarians at this year’s event. The owners of the Café put together an array of salads that were praised by all. Beer and good conversation flowed on into the night.

There is a chance of getting a fly in on Thursday if the winds are not too high.
