The Oklawaha River used to be a quiet haven for seaplane isolation and tranquility. Then it was
discovered by local seaplane schools. And now, it has been discovered by the super scoopers training
in a Fire Boss (Air Tractor on Wipline floats used for water bombing). Fortunately I saw it on
approach to landing and moved over to let it by.
(For those of you who rely on ADS-B to see other seaplanes: don't. We were both equipped but were
outside of the required airspace and too low for traffic to show up.)

Wow! That's the stodgiest Air Tractor takeoff I've ever seen!
Dan, your ADS-B caveat is correct. I've found it to be perfectly unreliable--because you never know whether it's showing all the traffic in your vicinity, or not.
