The event is divided into 3 continuous sections:
Part 1) an easy section so everyone can get lined up and get a feel for the Lake Skipper handling.
Part 2) the meat and potatoes of the route is a thrilling and winding route, climbing up to and “skipping” on many of the beautiful raised lakes in the mountains.
Part 3) a longer freeform section where you can find your own best line between the waypoints as we head back to land much further in-land than where we started.

About The Sunday Shenanigans Series
About The Sunday Shenanigans Series
Sunday Shenanigans is a bi-weekly Sunday event hosted by Baracus, where we will have a mixture of different flights, events, themes and challenges each time. The focus will be largely on GLIDERS, but there will be RANDOM FUN EVENTS to spice things up. Sometimes a specific AIRCRAFT will be required so that we are all in the same thing (default or freeware) and sometimes just a suggested TYPE and/or SPEED will be given and you are free to bring what you like. There will always be a suitable default or freeware option and all scenery (if needed) will be freeware.
