    Six minutes after 7 o'clock a.m. is sleepy Renata Kuhnova wandering between tents and she is getting her scattered dishes together to make a breakfast. Well, you get birthday party only once in a year. But in that time is morning bird Martin Vavra alias Manci, for that matter as everyday, sitting in front of his three bedroom tent and reading another chapter of the book Highborn trades. There are not any traces of cloudiness in the sky, even the usual morning fog is missing and the sharp sunshine is quickly getting other sleepers out of their tents.

    "You are so full of energy and I am such a dickhead", sends in the afternoon Milan Masarik to much younger Tyda for a two kilometers long walk from the launch, in order to find his lost glasses. Meanwhile there is - with regard of evening party with goulash and wine (from the Gradient Company) - prepared 56 kilometers long task with goal in Dreznica, where will be the party held. Starting point will be also today Kozlov Rob, with turning points in Polovnik, Kobarid, Mrzli Vrh and Krasji Vrh. The opening of the launching window is after the launching of few controlling bugs finally set up for 1.30 a.m.

    Today will be "Race to goal", so in the moment of the opening of launching window there are dozens of pilots pushing now for a change on the west launch. David Bzirsky, who broke his leg unhappily yesterday, is missing. Fifteen minutes after the opening of the launching window is high up above Kobala forming a big cluster of canopies and there are just a few rotten ones under the minimum given points distance.

    Although the ceilings are forming already in the height of 1800 meters and the peak of Krn is constantly bathing in the clouds, its south wall is working well all afternoon. Few seconds before 4 p.m. is Radek Vecera, the winner of today's task, flying over the goal in Dreznica, in thirty seconds followed by Nikolaj Sochorov and in another 22 seconds by Tomas Brauner. 62 successful pilots on the whole are then jammed on a quite small landing by the church - the motivation to fly to the party was probably rather strong. Tomas Brauner has secured his leading position in the total placing after today, Radek Vecera, yesterday only third, has moved to the second place and Nikolaj Sochorov is holding on to his third place.
