Flagged

The second day of UP Viser Cup in Keila! The event was very poorly advertised and it was a hustle to find out where the balloons would take off. I found the info at facebook couple of hours before start, called Kennet and Kartz and drove do the location. The whole sport of Hot-air Ballooning depends on the weather and the wind. For the take off it must be perfect!

So we waited almost two ours before they raised the green flag. One team was short of helpers so Kartz got his hands on (in the picture on the left) ... but then out of nowhere came this sudden rush of wind and one balloon got away ... dragged the owners Volvo and the pilot with it and the black flag was raised! The event was over in seconds! Two balloons out of seventeen got in the air and that was it :(
