Yes, DB and SS are home. Not so for our 15 and 18 Meter guys. All have reported safe landings and no damage. Pete is in the town of Mnichowice waiting for his crew, Ben Mayes, who estimates he's an hour away. David is in a soft, wet field in the the one-gas-station town of Sycow and Don Coder, Blair and Colin Meade are not too far away. Mark almost made the first turn point and Forrest Keene is going out to retrieve his Dad with Crewman Mark Townzen. Mark's sharing his field with an Italian pilot. Gary landed about 35km short of the second 18 Meter turn point and Paul Weeden and Rick Sheppe are on the way. These will be long retrieves with some crews and pilots returning after midnight. It's 7:26pm and Ben just texted that he's found Pete. All pilots are with their crews as of 9:45pm local time.
Contest Management has just declared tomorrow to be a rest day.
