It's been a long time since we lost nearly an entire weekend due to weather, but it was pretty bad out here. The big news for the week is that we have signed the Mexico deal for the 2006 - 2007 winter season. What does that mean for you? Beach jumps! We have plenty of time to shop around for the best airfare for the Puerto Escondido Beach Boogie.

I flew down to Mexico City to see Antonio, Hector, and Karin last Thursday afternoon. After spending some time working out the contract details, we signed the deal - followed by a great sushi dinner and drinks until all hours of the night. Todd and I are excited about working with Antonio again and it is very apparent that the entire Skydive Cuautla gang is excited about having us back. We hope you understand how important it is to the success of CSC that we have found such a great partner to help keep our aircraft in the air throughout the winter months - not to mention, it gives us a great place to vacation!

Speaking of the Otter, she will be down this week for maintenance and then departs Friday morning to Richmond, IN for THE BOOGIE. We will be flying a Caravan here while the Otter is away. If anyone is interested in joining us for the Richmond Boogie, please contact doug@skydivecsc.com ASAP to reserve your slot in the Otter.

We had plenty of time to sit around this past weekend while we waited for the weather to clear. Some chose to gamble, others took part in the horseshoe tournament.

Congratulations:

• Tom Sheehan on his wedding!

As most of you know, we have needed to fix the swamp that was our loading area for most of this season. With the downtime we've had lately, we decided now was the time. Special thanks to Randy, Eric, and Lukasz for all of your help.
