We got there fairly early this morning and other teams were already showing up to register as well. Quite a bit of a line as usual and this is still two days out. Made five jumps today working out the kinks of the drop zone and airplanes along the way. Couple issues with "interesting" jump runs and "interesting" landing patterns, but I think Scott Smith has seen this sort of thing before and will sort things out as quickly as the issues crop up. Lake Wales is pretty with ample supplies of water coming out of the sky to keep everything green. Our jump five today was pretty much just in time. I got a little water on the camera lenses and heard a bit of water even under canopy, but we stayed dry until after leaving the dz for the day. Yeah, it's a little humid, but I've been in worse and the only real issues were punching clou . . ., er, um, heavy industrial haze. Tomorrow's supposed to be more clear. That’s it for tonight.
