I would think in Kevin's case that he has to be very pleased, ... He's making one of the finest balloon flights ever, and he had not previously made a long balloon flight. It's outstanding so far.

So far there have been few problems. A broken winch was readily repaired by the crew, as was a batten problem in the mainsail. Sailing winds have been excellent and at one point we were flying a hull.

Today's forecast shows good winds until Thursday -- but then there are possible headwinds to slow us up when we reach the English Channel.

So while I've been tied up with my balloons and my gliders, I've lost considerable ground in terms of maintaining longevity in sailing records.

So far, I've been able to control descents and climbs to 500 feet per minute. Autopilot cannot keep up. Parachute is on in case of envelope rupture.

This is disappointing, but we've been through this before.

The fuel leak is fixed and we believe the worldwide wind pattern is acceptable. I hope to be flying in the morning.

To fly this distance that I plan to fly, everything has to go right. So if I were to have the same fuel venting problem and lose fuel, then I would not be able to accomplish the mission and I would cut it short.

Mountain climbing was my original sport ... and I've never tired from the satisfaction of getting to the top of a mountain.
