Bag of wind.

Watched a hot air balloon race today. Are they entirely wind blown or are they navigable? Anybody done one? I know warm/cool air currents can help rise and fall, but direction?

The Chinese weather baroons can have some steering ability. Some if not all of those downed recently over the US had a prop and a rudder.
