Clouds over Bridgetown

Today, we started earlier than usual: take off was already at 9:00 local time. We had almost blue sky above the ocean and only a few scattered clouds above the island. As on the days before, we flew at first a profile from approximately 60 m above sea surface to a height of 8000 ft helicopter height above the ocean. However there were still no clouds around us. We recognized a few small clouds above the northern part of Barbados and started flying there. It took some time to reach this region and the clouds were almost gone when we reached them. But PICT got a few droplets to measure to check if the new setup works better. From the north of the island we recognized that the area around Bridgetown was nearly covered with clouds and asked for permission to fly there.That was approved, thus we followed the west coast down to the area of Bridgetown. Finally we got some more cloud contacts above the city area and at least a chance to check the new settings of PICT. After spending a couple of minutes there the flight time was over and we flew back to the Concorde helipad. From the first quicklook it looks like the cloud was more polluted than those above the sea the last days and was probably influenced by the island (PICT was doing well!). During this flight we made a full round-trip around the island to catch our clouds in the end.
