Quotei sem to remember stories of london girls screaming in the pool at 5am..
Guilty as charged!QuoteMaybe it was a dream!!
Nope, it happened... including Thea and I breaking the ice when we went for our early morning Christmas Day swim!
Vicki -
Dude...
Where you at the same Empuria boogie that I just got back from?
We were out and partying like rock stars until the wee small hours most nights - the latest being 6am on the last night!
Did you find the Orange Kiwi???????!!!!!!!!!
Vicki -
Have you seen the forecast...?!
Vicki
PS I'm off to the airport in under an hour - be there this evening! -
Lowest reading my protrack has recorded... 1,100 feet. But that was my reserve following a total malfunction!
My beeps on a normal skydive are set for:
(whatever break off height is): 2,500 feet: 1,800 feet

I reckon an “Empuria Christmas Boogie 2005” thread is well over due so here it is.
Who’s going?
What dates are you there?
Perhaps people can help one another out with lifts to and from airports or can arrange to share a taxi?
I’ll start – I’m there from 22/12 until 04/01.
See you all soon!
Vicki -
See ya in 3 days...

Spent a few hours on a freezing cold, windy DZ on Saturday. I don't jump when it's cold so I didn't even take my rig!
But only 3 days until I fly to Empuriabrava and the last 10 day forecast I saw was for wall to wall blue skies! Woo-hoo!
I am SOOOOOO excited. There is nowhere on earth more beautiful than Empuria on a clear winter day - that view over the bay with snow capped mountains...
I can't WAIT!

I had my Spectre relined with dacron about a year ago because the microlines I had had previously had shrunk so much that the brake lines were 8 inches too short and the canopy was no longer flaring adequately.
The dacron lines have improved the openings with only a very small increase in pack volume (hardly noticeable).
The dacron lines were cheaper than microline too!
It's an absolute no-brainer in my opinion!
Vicki -
I don't know a general answer...
But if you are ever lucky enough to lay your hands on chocolate vodka it tastes absolutely amazing mixed with orange juice!

I had the blood test (IGE) a few weeks ago. They really took very little blood and it wasn't painful or distressing in any way. The test showed up that I have raised IGE so I will have to have the skin prick tests next...

- not telling!
18 minutes tunnel time at Bedford - to get "current" before I go to Spain.
1 - it's a secret! Beer will buy the silence of those who know...

QuoteWhere's the option for "continue to jump through the winter you pussy" ?
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Sorry, I'm a wuss and I don't believe in paying to get cold!
I'll be hibernating!
Just a trip to Spain and several trips to the tunnel for me this winter!
Vicki -
I am still going away for Christmas, but I have some tunnel time booked between now and then in order to get/stay current!
Vicki -
Have you spoken to your instructors?

QuoteThis just reminded me of the Young Eagles initiative by Rick Boardman and Rob Ames at nethers. They run a series of skydiving type competitions (creeper FS, rope descender accuracy etc) for teams of young kids and the winning teams get a shedload of wind tunnel time.
I saw some of the Young Eagles in the Bedford tunnel at the opening party. It was impressive to watch - those kids, some of them really very young, were real naturals! Very cool to think what they will be able to do with a lot more tunnel time...

I have a 2nd round interview for a job I really want on Wednesday.
Can anyone offer me some good general advice on making the best possible impression? I hate formal interviews...

10 minutes tunnel time on Thursday
0 jumps - it's December in the UK and I don't do getting cold!
No beer owed either!
DZ party and more tunnel time next weekend.
Life is good!

Hey, I hope it lasts... a break up could get very messy indeed!
