'''October 26 953 PDT:'''
'''October 26 953 PDT:''' Balloon released after an attempted titration to 0.5 kg of free lift. Moderate winds made this difficult. However, within a few dozen seconds of release the balloon began to descend, and was caught barely within the southwestern boundaries of Brigantino park. A large leak at the top seal was discovered, motivating the decision to fold the envelope over. The balloon was re-filled and observed for 10 minutes for second release.
'''October 26 1014 PDT:'''
'''October 26 1014 PDT:''' Balloon released at approximate 1.5 m/s ascent with initial motion to the southwest.
