Bolas 5 #25 November 11, 2009 While there weren't alot of jumps made due to winds (stupid hurricanes) it was still a great time hanging out with everyone, particularly in Key West. Thanks to the SDC and Sebastian staff for throwing this one and CazmoDee for putting up with us at Margaritaville. They should let us back again next year. Noone landed off, got hurt, or was caught committing a felony. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
