Another paragliding competition in Chelan this year. We rented a big house right next to the lake, so accommodations was excellent. No complains about weather either, only last day was way too windy and we have few tasks stopped due to rain/wind gusts, but overall I enjoyed the flying spending in the air close to 25 hours. Most of the gliders were 2-liners, including recently released Ozone Photon (EN-C), so racing was tough.
