flyinchicken 0 #1 March 8, 2004 Well I have been very busy with work the last week so I feel bad for posting this so late, but here goes.... Three of us Canucks travelled to Gold Coast for the annual Mardis Gras boogie. One, my bf Richard, wasn't a skydiver when we got there, but thnx 2 all the cool folks at Gold Coast he finished his AFF in 3 days of jumping! I just wanna say thnx 2 you all! It was pretty cool of you to allow our friend Ditch to try out his "new camera system" and tag along on Rich's jumps. (for those of you questioning Ditch has his AFF instructors rating). The fact that there was no concern from the camera guys at Gold Coast over losing money because Rich brought along his own was pretty much a theme throughout the week. It's good to see a DZ that is about skydiving and not just about making money! At the beginning of the week I had bought a bulk of jump tickets...the weather wasn't so great and a reserve ride on the Fri made it so I couldn't use them. Gold Coast refunded every ticket! The only down side to the whole trip was once again, I missed out on joining the Pink Mafia Despite the fact that a few members even offered to be dragged out of bed early on the Sunday morning to make the jump with me. We had a long drive to make and the guys wanted to get on the road. Well there is always next year.......... "Diligent observation leads to pure abstraction".

orbitjunkie 0 #2 March 8, 2004 Chicken? So Glad you Had a wonderful time down here for Mardi Gras. Btw check the spelling. I am a little suprised you got in though..I didn't think we allowed your kind at our DZ. But I suppose Mardi Gras is a time when you can let your standards slip a little. OK Dear just kidding! I called the DZO and told him to check your post and He wanted me to tell you make sure you guys come back next year. For those who have never been to Moss Point during Mardi Gras it is a true boogie and we are a family oriented DZ with all the fixins. Dear ya need to check my thread on the night jump. Quickdraw came through and has a really great pic of us before we boarded the DC that night Tell the guys I said HI Craig Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
