well well, that should have been better

I am still not clear what happened with the instruments but I guess it's linked with launching well after the start gate had opened with a large 10km exit start centred from another waypoint. Fine time to find a new problem. In hindsight I should have studied the map more carefully and manually taken the start rather than depending on a dubious arrow - daft thing was the arrow was literally taking me around in little circles rather than towards the gate.

The actual task was initially slow but buoyant then quickened as the cloud partially cleared and the sun opened up the course lines. Very happy with the new lines and the glider, the decisions, the climbing and the glides - just need to get the start!!
