Tuesday, May 4th
The sun is after the morning struggling to get through the thick veil of cirrus and a noticeable cloudy cylinder high above valley between Stranik and Small Fatra gives a clear impression that "there is a little wind up there." Lysá hora in nearby Beskydy Mountains gives about 18m/s and on a south launch on Stranik it blows more than ten.
There are just hardly thirty pilots from the original number of 66 singed on a starting list present at the briefing at 11:00 and the decision about today is with respect to the wind delayed for twelve o'clock.

Wind is not weaker in the noon and there is an alternative plan announced for today: swimming in Besenova, drive on go-karts in a motto-cross hall and an evening disco in a hangar on Stranik, supplement it in a last moment organized moon eclipse after 22:00.
I wonder what may be happening in such a strong wind and besides in a double altitude in a World Cup competition in an Austrian Alps?
