Sunday morning

We have completed the final racers briefing where we get to provide suggestions and feedback for the next race. The EPA Six is now heading over to Charisa and Ady's house for lunch. This evening's banquet is where we learn the final rankings and award the medals, so we will post again right after that. The EPA Six all agree that regardless of the final tally, this has been the most fun race we have done so far, partly because we are now pretty comfortable with racing, partly because the route and scenery this year have been so spectacular and challenging, and mostly because we got to spend so much time together and share our experiences both on the ground and in the air. I think one thing that will stay with me is the Sault St Marie rainstorm experience, where all three EPA planes were working the same situation, talking to each other, and helping each other in. As Barbara said, because we all know each other so well as people and as pilots, and because we were communicating so well, we knew who was doing what, and where they were, and what they'd probably do next. You girls are the best!!
