On Tuesday Peter continued his jumping. After Tuesday the wind picked up and while it was great conditions to kite canopies on the ground there was no chance for any actual skydiving.

Wednesday Mr Woo arrived with a group of students for a few weeks but the day was largely blown out. So was Thursday.

On Friday everyone got up early to beat the wind. So we had wheels up at 7 a.m. and Mr Kim did a refresher jump.

Getting up early on Saturday wasn’t enough, because the wind was already blowing away by 7 a.m. Fortunately it was the day of Coops’s birthday party in the Drop zone and all the people here managed to still have a great day! Happy birthday mate!!!

It’s Sunday! Get out of bed, look outside , the weather is great and there’s no more wind! Awww yeah!
