To All:
Just got done with four days of flying in Florida. I went to the lake house
I bought in Winter Haven a few months ago. I am still in the planning stages
but I still go down there every week or so to check the house and mow the
grass. It was hot but calm much of the time.
I managed to take a trip up to Lake Jesse and stop at Jack Brown's Seaplane
School. It was fun to plop into the lake and taxi up to the beach for a visit
at the place that I got my rating a few years ago. Winter Haven is a great
place if you have floats because there are so many lakes that you are always in
glide range of one.
It is really fun to tie the Firefly down in the back yard on the beach and
just head out any time you want.
It is amazing to see how much attention the Firefly gets even if it is in the
middle of big fancy planes.
And Yes John, I got one of those fancy power inflatable life vest.

Great!!!
Hope it rots and you never have to use it.
I flew mine for 59.6 hours over the last 19 days, but it stayed in my
helmet bag. Got to start wearing it and getting used to it. Will
not do me a bit of good if I need it and I am not wearing it.
Did fly over a little water on this flight, but not much in the
desert. 
Take care,
john h

John, good to see you back. Yep, follow the good advice you gave me on BRS.
Know what it feels like and where it is by repetitive checks. Can't check it
if it aint on. Thanks for your best wish that I wasted $150 on a vest I
won't need in the future.
