plans

Plans change. We got a call today, suggesting it would be nice if we could head on out to Semisopochnoi and refuel the helicopter. So, we recalled Max and Jerry and Tina, hauled in the skiff, stowed all the stuff, and headed out.

lots of discussion this evening, where we tried to make a solid plan.

We'll keep trying for Semi, with an eye to MAYBE doing LS. Continue helicopter ops across the ocean with limited flying over there. Apparently, bill is pretty worn out -- the flying has been quite demanding. At one point, Guy related a story where Bill had pulled down entirely on the collective, (reducing the pitch of the rotor blades to where they're not providing lift), yet the helicopter was still flying straight -- severe updraft.
