With six helicopters and one fixed wing fuelled, preflighted and ready to go, eighteen people braved the cold Cape winter and rose before the dawn on Saturday morning full of anticipation for a weekend adventure. But as the dim sunlight filtering through the clouds started to illuminate the scene it became clear that we weren't going to get away as soon as planned. There were low clouds obscuring the mountains and the sporadic rain showers put a serious damper on our spirits every time they came over. A couple of guys went over to the weather office to see for themselves what was going on. When we asked the forecaster what the weather was looking like he just laughed and said "I have no idea," (At last! An honest weatherman!), "but come look at the satellite" he motioned us over to his computer screen. There was a thin curved band of clouds hanging over the south west of the country where the cold front was passing. "It looks like the cloud bases will be lifting by around 2 o'clock this afternoon".
