The no wave zone makes for super smooth cruising. A ’68 Caddy’s got nothing on this ride.

When the waves are glassy smooth, you know they are ready to bite unsuspecting seaplaners. It’s best to keep a respectful distance.

Sometimes you just gotta smack the snakes. Sometimes you smack them. Sometimes they smack back.

Dan - since this is SND, I'm posting the question on the tech site. However, it relates to the smooth wake picture.

Gee, Ken, I don't think the use of a potato gun to make waves is so much of a technical issue. It's more of a terrorist TSA kinda thing (perfect for the Splat and Spud site).<!-- >'"><br><font color=red size=6>' or > missing in user HTML. Please fix the HTML.</font> -->

Clouds overhead, clouds under toe, clouds to the left and clouds to the right. At least they were mostly scattered.

The ducks thought they had the smooth water all to themselves. When they found out otherwise, they quickly ducked under.

Skipping and jumping over clouds is something suitable for Superman, or most anybody in a SeaRey.

Sooner or later some responsible gene says it’s time to get back to being serious. Back to work for the PA crew! (Not me. I lost that gene.)

Is it the self reflection that makes us do it, or is it that we just like watching ourselves fly?

Glassy water? It’s the ultimate water slide. Adam had plenty of practice on slick water before going back to his other office.

The little lake Idamere was glassy too, but there were suspicious wind circles out in the middle. How does that happen? Like a water spout? On a windless day?

Water spray and flashing red lights? Two huge helicopters idling next to the lake? Oh. That’s why there are circles on the water. I slow taxied through them and won’t do that again. Yee haw!

Idling to parking across a mirrored surface after a day of cheating on glass feels good and lucky.

Whaaaaaaat, You flew all that way under pressure to get there in time and did, pack it in a container, and it did not go? So you flew it all the way back? Thats the story we need to hear.

Studying this photo Dan I wasn't sure how you were going to <br />maintain VFR. <p><br />Perhaps a 180 would help?<br /><p><br /><br />Nope.

Maybe Adam and Kerry had filed an instrument flight plan, Frank. From my airplane it was all clear and completely visual.

Back in pilot school I was told that when something bad happened, try undoing what you just did. I 'Retreated' your 'Advanced' posting, Frank. It's cool with its innovated spacing and symbols. The mirrored picture is a plus too!

Sorry, Frank! I forgot about the photo. It's more complicated to use 'Advanced' when you want a photo in there.
Here's what your original post needs (in addition to checking 'Advanced...'):
<a href="?Photos&p=SZOPJ0000">Photos&p=SZOPJ0000 That's called an absolute address. You could enter that address in the Location box of any browser and see the thumbnail. The 'http://www.myfamily.com/' part isn't needed when the link is already at that main address. What's left is called a relative address. It works only when the link is located on the same Web computer as the image.
The HTML tag for inserting a graphic is: <img src='[filename and location on the web]'>
To help vision-impaired people, you should also insert this before the '>': alt='[identify the content of the photo]' border=0

No quiz for anyone younger than me, Frank. It wouldn't be fair. The time is long gone when writing HTML was the only way to get anything on the Web.
