False alarm


The forecast didn’t look favorable for last weekend – not one bit. With a 60% chance of early afternoon thunderstorms, the crew pretty much assumed Saturday would be 1 and done as far as skydiving goes. Sunday looked even worse, with an 80% chance of storms all day.


Lucky for us, we were only weathered out for a short burst of cloudiness on Saturday and still got 15 loads up.


I was especially thankful as I had not been in the air since South Carolina – so I was jonesing BAD.


At sundown on Friday night, the 2nd annual Tom Watson party started. It included catering, gun shooting, couch burning, good friends, and a beer fire truck..seriously, look!

Oh, and there were also lots of great skydives! Joe Lunardi was the load organizer for the day, and he put together some great group freeflying and a fun tracking dive.


Here’s some proof from the weekend :)





This was also the first weekend for me and my 10 pound weight belt. That’s a story for another day.


Sunday’s weather panned out as expected – with lots of rain. But it was still a fun time at the dropzone, hanging out with friends, watching videos and chatting the day away!


Hope y’all had a good weekend! Looking forward to doing it again soon!


Blue Skies!
