The first one was the annual splash in at Garner's Landing in Auburndale, Florida. Russ Garner and his wife Lou Ann were their usual selves, wonderful hosts to 20 or more Searey's ( I lost count) and alot of other Searey owners that were here for SunNFun but did not fly their airplanes from out of state.
It was a nice smooth flight there with the winds out of the west at 10 knots on the surface.
After a day of serious fun, talking Searey's, hangar flying, flight demonstrations by Kerry in the new LSX ( awesome airplane), it was time to drag myself out of there and fly home!
The winds had become worse by that time, gusting to 30 knots out of the west. This proved to be a real problem taxing out of the water for all of my freinds before me for taking off. The flight back was bumpy but uneventful ( thank goodness) which proved to me the versatility of the Searey in conditions that most people wouldn't expect the airplane could handle.
The 2nd event was the EAA Splash In at Lake Agnes, hosted by Kermit Weeks at the Fantasy of Flight. There were a lot of different types of Seaplanes in attendance. It was fun to watch the competition. The take off contest was not really a competition, with the Air Cam winning hands down. It's a great testimonial to the Searey when you see the number of them that show up at these Splash In's! What a great community to be a part of!
