Like yesterday the Tulips were absolutely beautiful this morning. Unlike yesterday we beat the bulk of the photographers out this morning. Today 3 Balloons set up and launched from the East field and drifted slowly across the tulip display field before climbing and turning south. There was no box working this morning and a bit more travel. With L & V conditions near the surface and both North and South travel higher up we could pick our flight direction by changing altitude. We ambled over the display field then climbed and flew across the road while watching Derek Hancock play in the pond behind the sheds. We followed him down and managed to contour and splash the entire length of the pond. Justin Luber launched behind me and was able to watch us. Derek climbed high to catch a wind going northeast while we stayed at mid height and proceeded southwest. I landed at a remote control aircraft air park and Justin followed me down.
All in all a fantastic weekend to kick of the flying season. Can't thank the Iverson's enough for their generous hospitality allowing the balloons to fly from their event.
