lauraliscious 0 #201 May 21, 2007 Okay, this is my $.02... 1. You can jump either the beach or the DZ. Depending on interest they usually either rotate loads between the 2 or they can do multiple drops on the same load. Whoever they drop 1st gets slightly less altitude. Lots of people jump all day to the DZ and do a sunset/last jump of the day to the beach. But the shuttle should be running all day to the beach, so you could just jump the beach all day and not get as many loads in if you wanted to. Or you could not jump the beach at all. 2. Usually there are no tents on the beach, that is a landing hazard. There are some lounge chairs along the beach, and half of the Florabama is outside. They have a covered deck and a boardwalk down to the beach. Usually when we do hang out at the 'Bama it is outside. 3. The shuttle ride usually takes about 45 minutes - 1 hour, as I recall (but I have usually had a few bushwackers so my memory might be a little fuzzy). 4. Usually start at the beach with the sunset jumps and move to the DZ later. Around 8 the party will be at the Bama. Unless you have time to make it to the DZ for a sunset jump (you should probably call Becky and see if there are slots available) then you should head on down to the Bama. Or, you can just call me and find out where the party is.

We'll probably be at the DZ or on the way back. Did dislocating your shoulder affect your brain?? The party in my pants will probably be at the 'Bama at 8:00 on Friday! It's not even quite dark yet at 8...There ya go, Mic, 2 styles of answers just for you.

Bolas 5 #203 May 21, 2007 Quote Putting the packing lists together. Since this is my time at this boogie, I have a couple of questions that will help determine what to bring. 1. Are all jumps onto the beach and no jumps at the dz? 2. Are there tents or anything at the beach where we can hang out? I know the Florabama is right there, but is something set up outside? 3. How long is the shuttle ride? 4. Do most people party at the beach or the dz at the end of the day? I know that was asked before but I am lazy and want all of my answers together. We are getting there Friday night. By the time we get to the campground and set up camper it will be around 8:00? Where will the party be?? Geez, hot chicks think they can get away with anything. Unfortunately, they're right. 1. Jumps are onto the beach and at the dz. Your choice. 2. When jumping, we really don't hang out on the beach. We gather up our stuff and catch the shuttle back. Depending on traffic, we may not always jump into the Bama either. We may jump the beach in a different place. You can rent beach stuff, but there is no DZ stuff there other than maybe a windsock. 3. 20-30 minutes normally. Traffic can add a bit too. 4. The day ends at the Bama. People jump in the last few loads and stay for a while watching others land. At some point the shuttle heads back to the DZ where the people start to party there too. Others stick around the Bama cuz they've got condos, another ride, or just plan on sleeping on the beach. If getting a ride, make sure if you pass out, you do it on the vehicle that's taking you back so you don't get left. It also entertains other tourists and locals. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
micduran 0 #204 May 21, 2007 Thanks for the replies! That helps. I'm sure we won't make it in time for a sunset load and camper set up requires a beer or three or four!!

So what you are saying Bob is that you have a shriveled up cucumber, that you are going to poke drunkalicious with? That would be special.p.s. Just to check on USPA's requirements on flotation gear, Section 5-3:K-e used to state something along the lines of "Students, Jumpers with A-B lic" were required to use it. The 2007 SIM Now it says " All jumpers are advised to wear flotation gear when the intended exit, opening, or landing point of a skydive is within one mile of an open body of water (an open body of water is defined as one in which a skydiver could drown)." Advised but not required.
