Comments

Yesterday the weather continued to blow such that no flying was possible. It did however give many of us the opportunity to catch on some well deserved rest (Wii tennis!). Today is much the same, however there appears to be a possible window of opportunity tomorrow before conditions deteriorate even further (yes it is possible!).

Cheers
