17.30 ; When the pilots nicely fly “on time” the first finishers ,should be the first starters and should be back at 17.41 in 18 m. class, at 17 .44 in 15 m. class and at 17.56 in open. So the waiting is nearly over!!!! By the way the wind is less strong then before but the “sock” is still horizontal. Still clouds where ever I look from here. Not the very nice cauliflower-clouds,  but they still seem to work.
