John, It's funny you mention that and or you were around when this was discussed. We have considered installing a camera looking down the slalom course and awarding some kind of prize to the most accurate landing.

Thanx for taking this on, Jeff. We have a group of three 'Reys that will be there from Winter Haven. We'd like to put in a very slight preference for the Saturday but can live with either. Please post your site's Lat/Long. Thanx again

Jeff, thanks for hosting the fly in. I am making plans to attend. I prefer Sunday as it would require one less day off work to attend the fly in and the first day of SnF. If only I were retired.........

There are two big changes in the Lake Parker splash-ins (according to an article in the January/February 2007 Water Flying).<br /><br />1. The location will be different.<br /><br />2. The experimental and ultralight splash-in will be on Friday, and the production one on Thursday.<br /><br />Here's the article:

Don,<br /><br />I stayed in this hotel last year for S&F / Garners. It's a bit of a dump, but it has free WiFi that works. I just reserved a room for the entire week (4/14 - 4/21) for only $250! Call them 1-888-75-SWEET, don't use on-line booking for the best price. Don't mind the full time residents. Park and lock it.<br />

Eric--so THAT's the dump you were staying in last year! Oho. Do you think a SeaRey tied up there for several nights would be safe? Is there a beach or ramp sufficient to get one out of the water?

Don, I didn't really take a close look at the beach, and I don't think there's a ramp. Maybe you could ramp it at Jack Browns (10 NM east)?

Does anyone know what the shoreline is like where this year's SNF splash-in will be? The aerial photos I've found online don't have good enough resolution to tell much about it. Is beaching possible there, or does the shore slope too steeply for that?<br /><br />I think the location is in the little bay at N28-03-30 W081-56-45 . <br /><br />You can taxi from GIF to Jack Brown's.

Eric, So far its still Sunday and the chances are high that it will stay that way for the flyers comming from a-far. Also, for those that are comming from a-far, should they arrive on Saturday they are welcome land at my house and stay the night. There are a few hotels about two miles from my house that we could shuttle people back a forth from. I also have one or two extra vehicles that could be used. along with a 'Granny' aparment on the property with one double bed and one small single all in the same room that can be had be the first person that calls 'dibs' on it for either or Sat. and or Sunday night.

Sigh, I've accepted the reality that my 'Rey (Swoosh Too) won't be ready for this splash-in, nor Sun'n'Fun. <br /><br />Anyone planning to attend from the ORL - SFB area have an extra seat? I could easily hook up with someone at either airport, though ORL would be preferable. I sure would hate to drive, but...

Jeff, you're doing fine. I've never liked MyFamily's polls.<br /><br />I think the only way to do it is to include a separate question for each possible size and quantity. So you'd have something like<br /><br />1 small<br />2 small<br />3 small<br />1 medium<br />2 medium<br /><br /> and so on. What's even dumber is that in most browsers not owned by Bill Gates, the question is on one line and the button to click for it is on another--so it's easy to click the wrong one.
