Just came back from an awesome weekend in my beautiful country of Portugal and I'm missing it already :)
It started on Saturday morning, with a cool Airsoft game (similar to paintball, but more fun) in some cliffs in Evora. The plan was to go play in the morning, find a geocache nearby, and then stop by the dropzone and pull one jump or two. The problem was that, since the accident in the airfield one month ago, there was some time during which there was no activity and so a lot of tandems were delayed. Combine that with only one airplane (a slow one at that) operating, and you have the recipe for no one jumping except people working :(
So we went back on Sunday to try to schedule as many jumps as possible early in the morning. We managed to jump once and when we went back to manifest to schedule some more we were out of luck. The good thing is that the one jump was excellent; I managed to stand up fly for almost 3 seconds before my audible went off and I had to deploy. The landing was incredible also: No wind means a very fast landing, swooping style :D
Hopefully the next weekend will have nice weather in Apeldoorn and I can jump some more, but it was indeed a fun weekend back home :D
Peace out
