No plane, so building continues
Apart from the look-out tower, the cupola is complete.
Today’s flight was cancelled due to weather, so we continued mounting windows, floors and panels on the top of the main dome.
The flight was cancelled due to overcast and warm weather. The wind was not a problem today. It took a little while for people to adjust to the fact that there was no flight, but after that we had a good day of work in and around the main dome. Sverrir got an extra day to teach Michael all the tips of the mechanic trade, and Blair and Bill got a chance of showing how the cupola panels should be mounted. Peter, Sebastian and Gaël developed into a Velux crew, and they mounted all of the Velux windows. Sarah was as usual spoiling the crew with good food and the plenty of her hobby: Baking cakes. We finished the day by celebrating Danish mid-summer, Sct. Hans, one day delayed, as we had expected a new crew today.
