After some remarkable progress Monday, we got complacent on Tuesday. First jump was at around 9am, but there were some serious problems with wacker levels and we built to 230 out of 369. Second jump was 321 out of 368, and the third jump was 324 out of 363. On the last jump, pretty much all the wackers were complete except for wacker 6, which only had a few people docked. We also had one skydiver low on sector 2, and I think one or two missing from other wackers. Due to the design of the dive, it's actually possible to get back up and into your slot if you go low. All the sectors have "no man's land" aisles where people can float up, fly back in and get back into their slot.

The second jump was interesting. The base ended up either leaving a bit late or really sailing, and the first sector-2 people had to float up to the base a ways and then make our way around 180 degrees of the formation as people were diving on it.
