Second day at Logan

The day started even later than yesterday. The grid started to move around 2pm, and it was almost 4pm when I finally launched. I used leftover thermals on the east ridge to head north, but by the time I reached Bear Lake airport, thermals started to die down, and I heard radio calls of a couple of gliders landed on Bear Lake airport. I wasn't too happy to end my flight so soon, but now I have to switch my mission to go back to Logan airport, which I managed to succeed. Some gliders who started much earlier than me seemed to accomplish the 300+ km task, but I doubt anyone who started around the same time as me completed the task. I'll find out tomorrow morning.

By the way, Logan is a decent city with many accomodations, restaurants, and other useful shops. They have two active runways, and one abandoned runway which we can use for tie-down and camping. It's a very nice to place to have a contest like this.

After the flight, Steve Koerner kindly came to me and showed how to use one-man rigger which I bought from him.
