We call this fun flight by several members of the NBC "The Balloon Dance."
The winds were so light and variable that we flew around each other in circles.

Second wind, Euphoria, Dreamtime, and Yellow Bird prepare to lift off together.


Anita and Duane (behind Anita) took an anniversary flight with us


Yellow Bird and Second Wind fly a lighter-than-air pas de deux


Each of us tried a "splash and dash."  This was our turn.


Steve does a low pass, just skimming the surface


Jim and Ron take the plunge in Yellow Bird


Dreamtime and Second wind flying rings around Euphoria just off the dock.
The photos below show the scene from our (Dreamtime's) vantage point.

 
Euphoria and Second Wind exchange positions


Finally, after covering less than 1/3 mile in 45 minutes, we travel off in search of
landing sites.


Happy anniversary, you two!
