Day Seven of my Captivity

7/7/2013

1 Comment

 
Today had the best WX forecast so far - we rigged, the grid launched, and most returned or landed out. 
 
My shackles are long enough that I can get in the car and drive it, as long as it is attached to the trailer. My rope is attached to me and the trailer, so I thought that I had the opportunity to drive to retrieve W2 and perhaps stop along the way and honk the horn outside of a police station. 
 
It turns out that Chris has disabled the horn, window buttons, and door locks, so that once I am in the car, I can only drive to his landout spot. 
 
Well, today he landed out and I had planned to drive to a town and ram the car into the town hall. Foiled again. Tom Coulson arrived, stuffed me into the trunk of the car, and drove to the landout site. So, I cannot tell you where Chris landed out, other than it seems we drove over a bumpy road, turned left-right-left-right-right and crossed some railway tracks.
