Yesterday's adventure

Got some fly in fishing in yesterday. Nice day here in North Western Ontario. Mountain top lake trout lake on an island. Kind of remote but only a 45 minute flight from our seaplane base. The other part of the story is that when we came into the harbour, it was too rough for our little plane so we had to sit at another seaplane base until the winds subsided enough, several hours later....
All in all, still a nice day with a friend I have not hung out with much lately.

Yep, as they say with general aviation, "If you have time to fly, and need to get there, drive!"

@Brent H if you can get up here, and let your captain release you for a day, I could take you somewhere.

Usual rules apply...blindfold and surrender your phone, but you know.....gotta protect these spots....:D
 
@ShawnR : I may take you up on that amazing offer!!! Screw the Captain- I am the “Chief” - vessel broken down pending return from fishing trip :p

That right there is power! :eek:

@Brent H If we go, it will be a different plane. I fly a Cessna 172 on floats. I sold my float plane last year so borrow a friends when I want/can. I am "between planes"..:D right now.

Gotta luv it, real airplanes have propellers and tail wheels. Dad had a Luscombe and I've put in quite a few hours with it.
I'd be careful taking a sailor in an float plane,,,,,,, they think propellers need to be "under" the water,LOL:D
