It’s Monday again, the 8th of October, and after a full week there’s no easy way to say it so I’m just going to say it. The DZ is ONE BIG SWOOP POND! Apart for some brief interludes for jumping it has been one very wet week.
On Tuesday Robert Williamson dropped by for a Tandem. Lorenzo Moscatelli did Stages 4 & 5 of his AFF Course.
Wednesday Rob Williamson obviously loved his Tandem because he did Stage 1 of his AFF Course the next day.
Thursday Tandems were Alejandra (Alex) Gimenez Caja and Anne Reynolds.
From Friday to Sunday 14th it was very wet and un-jumpable. Oh well, the farmers love it.
Only 10 days to go to the Equinox Boogie! The Drop Zone sure is green.
See ya!

Thank YOU all!
I am sorry I didn’t do anything I was told to do. Really. It was the most terrifying experience of my life and the most exhilarating at the same time. Sorry I didn’t say good bye too, I was way too hungry and dizzy. All the answers are a big YES and I can’t think of anything you could improve at, really. I even had fun with the crazy playful birds and saw a lot of wallabies!
Again, thank you 🙂
Love,
Alex (aka the awkward spanish chick)

That was the most exciting adrenalin rush I have ever had. It was made so easy by the staff and those who jumped at the same time as I did. Not only did I feel included, but the genuine friendly nature of the people in that plane dissolved any nerves I had. What was so invigorating to see, was the eagerness of all to get out of the plane with no hesitation. Now: to the guy who took me as a Tandem, Tye, I know this man personally and wanted to jump with him. That never distracted from the professionalism shown and practiced by this Tandem Master. You made it easy and fun and beyond that safe. You are one top notch flier and I will jump again with you should I ever decide to do it again. Thank you so much everyone.
