All back safe; tomorrow's the rest day

While of course we don't need it, some countries are likely a bit tired, and we hope this gives them a chance to re-charge for the second half of the contest!

Hats off to Nick, who got back this morning at 7:00 am after an all-night retrieve, had a brief nap, rigged, watered-up, and was staged just after noon, launched at 1:30 pm, started at 2:24, and flew 130 kph for 446 km!  Man of Steel! And crew Christine - Woman of Steel!  And Sonia!  You get the idea!

Off to our sponsor's party.  More, sometime during the rest days; likely, not early.  Panel shots of ST (Nick), and XG (Jerzy), and one other competitor...  Who will it be???
