Description:
With the museum seen, the local cuisine appropriately sampled, and bad parts all replaced, all that was left to watch was the weather. The big planes were coming in on instruments. The commercial guys were out flying their seaplanes and helicopters. Why can’t we go?
Well, the weather man says it’s “marginal VFR”. Them’s code words for “only an idiot would go out there without good cause ‘cause you’ll probably just end up upside down in some cloud or wrapped around a old telephone pole.”
Ha! The weather’s fine down low over the river. And if it gets too bad, there’s always a river bank to wait and watch the show.

You just can’t describe or show this kind of stuff. (Well, I can’t.) It’s reassuring to have a wingman who can verify the tales.

Some formation flying is hard work. Some, not so much.

It’s a big beautiful bayou out there. Sometimes you have to climb up to see.

The flying is fantastic, but a lunch break on a wilderness beach is too.

Why should the 1% critters get this all to themselves? Don’t we deserve some beach too? YES WE DO. YES WE CAN. It’s my new cause: Occupy More Beaches.

Once you get away from the big river the scenery gets a little more wild.

Is it open season on SeaReys? The power company thinks so and set out these sneaky traps along the river. “Ha! We laugh at your traps, Power People! We’ll hop over and be gone before you can snatch us from the sky.”<br />

The pipeline people try to snatch a few SeaReys too, but they’re not very good at it.

Not the trains too? Is everyone out to get a SeaRey? Jealousy is all you’ll get, big black train.

The Corpse of Engineers can be spotted at work even out in the wilderness. Who else would cover a perfectly beautiful beach with big rocks?

Look there on the horizon. It’s a big brown log heading straight for me like a wooden cruise missile. Is it low or high? Both. Low in the sky. High in the water.

More rocks for the Corpse guys to cover beaches with! Is there no stopping these maniacs! What we need is a fleet of SeaReys to occupy the beaches while we still can.

This Occupy Beach by SeaRey thing is fun……er, I mean it’s serious….serious political stuff. “We demand our fair share of beach!”…and all that other stuff.
