prost 0 #28 February 4, 2002 Ok this sucks. Everywhere I turn I am hearing about the Mardis Gras Boogie. Moss Point is my home drop zone and I was supposed to be doing the boogie video this year, but I was recalled to the Marine Corps and I am stuck in Quantico, VA. I can't even get off for the weekend.William Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ducky 0 #29 February 4, 2002 Oooh So Close.... (sorry its a long one, and a bit of a whine)Wow, what a weekend! I arrived at the DZ with 10 jumps on Saturday morning and the intention of returning home tonight with a completed A lic. proficiency card and 20 jumps.I got 19 jumps and 3 blanks on my card :-( The weather today was horrid and I rode all 4 loads, the highest being only 6,000ft. the lowest 3,500ft. I'll say I am damn sure cleared on my Hop n Pops! I also did the spotting on all 4 four loads and learned to pack (that's not as easy as it looks!!)Everything went perfectly yesterday, I spent the entire day with a coach. We worked on fall rate control on one jump. The next I followed him out, he set base and I had to dock on him which I did ok at. I think break-off and tracking for separation was the predominant theme on every jump though. I seem to be doing fine with turns and a good neutral arch, stable on heading belly to earth is not a problem for me. We also "practiced" my Hop n Pop and did my accuracy landings, along with tons of safety review.I have to admit it was kinda psycho today, it was sleeting and snowing at about 1500ft, that crap hurts even under canopy!So I am not sure what will happen for the boogie, the weather here does not look like it will cooperate for me to finish up my A before heading down. Fast Eddie will be down there and he was at the DZ all weekend, he and I may be able to finish my card up on Friday at Gold Coast. Worst case scenario I won't be able to jump, but WILL hang out. I have been told that just the environmet of so many different people and a new DZ will be very condusive to learning.Anyways enough babble for now, again I hope to meet all of you this weekend :)KwakStupidity is a crime.
