Friday Seaplane Flying

I had everything ready for our trip to Maytown for a 3 day seaplane Fly-In except my clothes, so I did a quick packing job this morning.  That plus the forgotten cell phone I came back for made our start about 45 minutes late.  We took the slow way except for the last 5 miles up I5 to Exit 95.
There were two neighborhood dogs that were the official greeters.  A couple flyers had already left when I took this picture at 1 PM.

 Vera took this picture of me flying my Pondside on Friday.  I had a great day, flying all three of the planes I brought with me.  The Albatross flew better than it ever has after some modifications I made last week.  The lake is a man made water ski lake a half mile long on 72 acres.  I made my last flight about 7 and settled in for some of Vera's lasagna, it was great.  We ended up reading most of the evening as we only got 2 channels on the TV.  I did make one last trip out when a late arrival did some night flying.  I took some video, here is a link to it.
