With the amount of wind that will be present, the balloon would be trailing,
not rising. You would have a horizontal antenna with the altitude equal to
about the mooring point. I know people that have done this with kites
though. It works well but can be quite dangerous if you don't know what you
are doing.

I would be tempted to fly a small helium balloon from the port hole or
deck with at least 20-ft of fine wire. Connect the wire to the whip and
I bet you would get some neat reception. Might be a good idea to ask
permission first. :-)
