Day 5: No Fly Day?

The U.S. team is typically first to weigh and grid. Technically, weighing begins at 8:00, but if you are waiting in the field at the usual spot when the crew arrives, you can be off the scales and on the grid by 8:15, leaving two hours to work on technical issues before pilot meeting at 10:15.
Today, we drove to the field at the usual time to discover it deserted. One or two teams were filling their planes with water, with little enthusiasm for the task and no hope for the day. Team huts were locked with no insinuation of human presence.
We have little to do but eat breakfast and stare bleakly at the even bleaker skies.
There will be a pilot meeting at 10:15, but no one expects it to result in a task.
