    "Don't dry the dishes, it will dry by itself" are some people citing guidance on the use of the Jar detergent and therefore they can avoid the everyday washing, and the ones who are less clean are holding on to the theory that when they make another dish, it will successfully wash the previous ones from the pots. Weather looks from the morning great and the first wave of the exportation of the "A" group is Honza Habermann sending off to Kobala right after nine a.m., in order to get the briefing on the launch finished before twelve.

    "And they didn't announced jubilates at all" is annoyed Michal Cierny mumbling to himself, as he was on a very nice 100th place in yesterday's task, and yet they praised on today's just finished briefing only Braucer and Krausova. Task announced today is for a change type "Race to goal" and is almost 50 kilometers long. It is navigationally very transparent because it has got two turning points in Kozlov, Rob and Stol along the valley's river Soci; launching window will be opened at 00:30 p.m. There is, just as yesterday, weak east wind blowing on the launch in the altitude of 1050 meters, but the ceilings of cloudiness are today forming up much higher. Twenty minutes after the opening of the window are the first twenty pilots getting up in the height of 1600 meters in the direction of the starting point Kozlov Rob, whose cylinder with 2 kilometers radius is opening accurately at 1.15 p.m.

    The route to Stol shows to be much complicated than the way back and 31 pilots are forced to land gradually in the first halve of the discipline. 89 of them are successful and continue in their flight back to Tolmin. In 88 minutes of flight is Russian racer Nikolaj Sorochov in a quite low height drawing closer to the finish line, closely followed by Ondra Dupal, who has got bigger height reserve. Nikolaj is faster about 24 seconds and therefore he is the winner of today's task. Radek Vecera lands in goal four minutes later and after him step by next 59 racers.

    After today Ondra Dupal has removed Tomas Brauner from the first place to the third one in the total placing, while Russian racer Nikolaj Sorochov has climbed up from his yesterday's 43rd position to the second one. Petra Krausova is still in the lead in women category.

    "I am a mega dickhead" admits annoyed Marcel Konecny self critically, as he landed today already on the 11th kilometer of the route and he is giving himself a well deserved punishment - ban of alcoholic drinks until the end of this year. Next almost sixty racers who didn't make it to the goal as well are not that strict with themselves and because there is no storm or rain this afternoon, the party in the camp on the stadium goes on until the late night.
