There is a flying tip and an acronym index at the bottom of the report for those not understanding some of the weather jargon. ;)

Good morning all you amazing Wild2fly people! :) And another sweet day of flying around Wilderness. Everywhere worked eventually though Sedge never delivered the high climbs we expected. ;) CT peninsula had some good flights - Armin with an unusual one from Kom to Vish Hoek. Wj got a climb to TM and some guys manage some XC at DK. :) https://www.xcontest.org/world/en/flights/detail:Jedimindtricks/13.10.2026/10:55Those pilots in Brazil with 5 flights over 400km yesterday Leszek the longest with 489 on his X1 https://www.xcontest.org/world/en/flights/detail:Lester-XcJunkies/13.10.2026/10:21  3 flights over 300km, 7 flights over 200km - all except one from Brazil. :)) Crazy place! lol Back to our SA weather. Another CF moving in towards the WC - some good wave formations over the WC mountains - look at the beautiful system over the Hex river valley blow (6m/s all the way up!) lol Some CB on the interior east of the trough line. Som nice high bases out there and to the west some good flying is to be had. Nice. :)) Back in Wilderness it looks like some high cloud causing the OD stuff again, so things looked dampened. Some wind in the morning with a possible session on the coastline. By midday this has dropped off with light winds all over. Sedge showing the most promise with the light wind and thermals possibly producing some up stuff. ;) lol It actually looks quite pleasant. Then later in the day more low clouds moving in from the ocean side. It could get even better then. ;) lol Lekker! Low tide is at 11:01 and high tide around 6 hrs either side of that. Sunrise was at 5:50 and setting at 18:42. Daylight of 12 hrs and 53 min! :). Max temps today a cool 19 degrees C in Wilderness! Have a lekker one everybody and as always, remember to take a moment and reflect on God - that’s really what life is all about. :) (John 10:10. Rom 10:9. Eph 4:31-32. Phil 4:8).

Todays flying tip: When flying in a pod, cultivate a habit to drop your knees when you hit bad turbulence. ;)
