Sproing in the cable

Saturday was a beautiful spring day with no wind whatsoever, a nice temperature of 20 degree, snow on the mountains, lush green veld, yellow flowers –in short one should be out and about. The show was run by the resident A&A team.
With great pleasure we saw that some new trees were being planted. Kevin got one planted while somewhere else kameeldorings were planted with a rain pipe next to it. We are not 100% sure about its purpose but presume it is a water reservoir. It looks a bit like a vent pipe on a sewer pit. Sorry I digress.
The winch team had five visitors. Nico gave a hand and is trying to get the operation up to Henneman standard. We had one cable break on the new cable nogal with ten launches.
Nice to see the K8 flying. The very stable conditions are not good for soaring so nobody stayed up longer than 30 minutes. The usual experience flights took place. No better day than this without any turbulence whatsoever.
Sunday started with no wind but around ten o’clock it started blowing hard and it the late afternoon the rain started. Last night a lot of water fell-more than a normal showery front produces.
