Folks, if you are in the area: Stop talking how sorry you are. Leave your gear at home today, and let's go to Lake Wales now. They need help. THEY NEED YOU! TODAY! NOW! C'mon guys and girls, let's go there, the roads are open again.

Unfortunately things look even worse when you are close. I was out there today - you can see on the pics that almost nothing is left. What I heard today: the plane is in quite good shape, and they want to get a trailer out there as manifest to start jumping again as soon as possible. Many roads were blocked today due to power lines and poles on the roads, but they opened the 60 this evening. You have to leave the area before sunset. I am sure people are more than welcome to help tomorrow (sunday) to move some stuff, so leave your gear at home and get some old shorts and t-shirt instead and head out there! (working gloves are helpful, 1.29$ at the gas station...)

I heard that Lake Wales was hit pretty hard by the hurricane last night. Unfortunately I can't reach anybody over there. Who of you knows if they need people to clean up and repair things? If so, please let me kow at 813-766-9249. Does anybody have a cell phone contact over there? Thanks, Barbara edit: I just talked to manifest. They have a lot of damage. Everybody who knows how to repair something (or is willing to learn it right now) is more than welcome to grab some tools, old shorts and shirt, and head out to Lake Wales. See you there, Barbara --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's nice to be important, but it's much more important to be nice.

Hi, Kenya Skydivers in Nairobi, please contact [email protected] They have a Cessna206. You might also be interested in the Kenya Boogie, which is at Diani Beach, south of Mombasa , Oct 31 to Nov 13, 2004. See "www.skydivekenya.com" (which you might have found already, the address is not such a surprise when you look for skydiving in Kenya). Enjoy, it's beautiful to jump there! Barbara

Hi, Depending on the kind of jumping you prefer, it might be worth to drive two hours. Hoexter (www.fscdaedalus.de) is one of the best dzs for belly flyers. There is also Schweighofen and Luetzelinden in about 1 hours drive, and Kassel Calden in about 2 hours. Kassel is more commercial, Hoexter is rather a club atmosphere. A friend of mine from Frankfurt just sent me a mail that he looks for people to jump with, you may want to contact him; he also can give you more detailed information. If you want to do so, just send me a mail to [email protected].
