Progress Report

Just talked to P&B at 18z. They are just NE of Turin and doing great! They crossed the Alps in good shape and used very little ballast. The balloon has been at altitude for three hours, a nice stable layer. While speeds are not great, about 15 mph…they are making steady progress. They will likely hug the coast or go briefly over water before going into Italy during late morning. Wx looks good for rest of the night and the morning. It will remains cold in the basket and P&B are eagerly awaiting the morning sun!

Thanks the relay Don!
