After some hiccups with how this platform generates revenue (and me being a cheapskate) Here's the final bit of this years Morning Glory hunting season.
In my 9 years of chasing MG clouds (so far), this one is rated as the worst, but we still had many hours of soaring along these behemoths of nature.
Bring on 2027 is all I can say!

Geoff Pratt has now flown the Morning Glory for 30 years in a row, without a break!
So this year we had a 30th party :-)
That's a record that I don't think will be broken...

30 years in a row that Geoff Pratt has flown the Morning Glory!

Last day chasing the Glories!
Another somewhat non-standard wave, and it came with a pretty flash rainbow sunrise, then a long run inland on the wave.
One of the aircraft did a long run offshore instead, and we both eventually arrived back at Burketown at the same time.

Very much a mixed bag today, with weak and strong lift (mostly weak), broken/patchy/non-existant cloud...
But we managed a few hours of soaring and covered a lot of ground, out to sea, and also soaring the dry wave over land.

The weather improves some more.
Gave today a 7/10
A rather interesting southerly wave system overlapped the rather larger NE wave system. At one point, a dry southerly wave made quite interesting interference with the wet NE wave, plus some nice smooth stuff, some uppity stuff and the not-so-raging Leichhardt Falls 🙂 See less

Weather finally improving.
A bit of a mixed bag, with odd bits of cloud all over the place, but some nice soaring was found.
Managed two different types of Morning Glory at the same time. The rolling wave cloud and a fog bow :-)
And Geoff added a new aircraft type to his logbook 👍

Despite a good looking forecast, the weather gods frowned, but it was a decent morning for some photos...

The Morning Glory season has kicked off. Kicked off with a bit of a whimper, actually, but finally, we are on the scorecard!
Had to chase for a rather long time to get to it, way out over the boonies, but a good, solid wave was soared.
A few shots of Barry launching in the Phoenix, and then out on the wave.
