It’s a perfect summer Saturday for a day at the beach and no one is sunning! That could be fixed by SeaRey.<br />But not a SeaRey needing to cross the continent.<br />Right. Let’s look for a better beach.<br />

There’s a bigger beach!<br />Yeah, but it’s fringed in red. Could be the dreaded red tide. Dinoflagellates gone rogue. The red death.<br />We’re far from the coast.<br />It could be mutant. Mutant zombie dinoflagellates!<br />Maybe that would sell in Hollywood, but not in Mississippi.<br />

Dan, you're probably going to say something profound about wounds in those rocks bleeding into the river, in the top photo. But have you looked at the photo upside down and seen the two rock-coyotes that are watching you fly over?

I had no idea, Don! Well spotted (your observation, not the coyotes).

Look! A wet heart!<br />It’s a swamp.<br />It’s the heart of a small swamp, pierced by an arrow of barb wire, half healed by trees.<br />Probably half full of alligators and snakes too.<br />

Dan, We have a heart also, which you missed whilst in Oz....maybe next time<br /><br />It's in the Whitsunday Islands Group in Queensland and only recognised about 30 years ago. Now one of the most popular visits in the Great Barrier Reef National Park.

Remnants of an ancient dam?<br />Remnants of an old ridgeline cut by water.<br />What’s the difference?<br />

A rest stop.<br />There’s no time for resting. There’s a mission.<br />Safety first. A rested pilot is a better pilot.<br />

You can’t rest long on a Mississippi River sandbar. Wait a minute and it shifts.

The river is slipping eastward. I bet the east shore homeowners association has already contacted the Corpse of Engineers. They are frontline storm troopers in the battle against Shoreline Change.

There are water hazards and sand traps, and maybe even gopher holes, but no golf carts on this course.

There’s only so much flat and dry a SeaRey pilot can stand. When Coleman appeared advertising a one mile walk to the local hotel it was good. I called the hotel. “You best find the courtesy car,” I was advised. “It’s a Texas mile.”<br /><br />“Oh.”<br /><br />While searching for the courtesy car (truck), the airport neighbor came by. “We don’t lend it out on weekends.” Seeing my expression, he took pity. “Reckon we will this weekend, though.”<br /><br />Total flight time for the day was 8.8 hours.<br />

Dan, you're making a lot better speed than the last time Puff flew west.
