Hold On, Hold On, Hold On

Is what I heard the pilot of this balloon telling his passengers about two seconds after I shot this. After an unsuccessful attempt to dip down into the water, he had to lift as fast as he could to clear the trees on the other side of the channel. He almost cleared them. I could hear him telling his passengers to "hold on" as they scraped the top of those trees, sending down a shower of leaves and twigs on the spectators standing below.
