  • A Beautiful Day to Fly, But…


    … a bit too windy.

    Everything was looking great on the way out today, and our small group was excited. Just walking into the hanger I felt exhilarated and felt like this might be a place i start seeing on a regular basis.

    We walked up the counter and filled up what must have been 20 sheets of paper (front and back) and signed and initialed everything. We were then escorted to a classroom where we spent all of 10 minutes learning what we needed to know for our jump. It started with a 25 year old video telling us about all of the dangers of doing a skydive, and to realize that while every safety measure is taken, there are no guarantees. The last part of the class was a brief overview of what would happen next, what the gear looks like, and other details on what to expect.

    We were the second group to go up, but it was around that time (about 30 minites after getting there) that we were told the winds had passed the 25mph cut-off. We waited around for almost 2 hours but then decided to call it a day since conditions were only getting worse.

    We will try again next week, either Friday or the following Monday!


  • Weekend Photos

    I posted several photos from this past weekend on Flickr. As you can see here, Grandma and Grandpa had a good time – at least until it was time to leave.
