Playing It Safe

At Pilot Meeting:
Chief Steward Robert Danewid:

The difference between a good story and a catastrophe is very small.
Play it safe. This is WGC 2014, not World War III.

Weather forecaster:

Thunderstorms will not appear. Only cumulus clouds will be present.
Forecast is optimistic: it is a powerful day.

Longest tasks to date--Open is nearly 400k, 18-Meter is 350, and 15-Meter is 361k.

Pilots:

Yesterday's tasks could have been a couple hours longer.
Any time I'm on the ground by 4:00 under skies like this is a day wasted.
At least we've finally reached regional-level tasks.
