Well, that would explain it! (Except if you look closely through the spray you'll see a tire next to the strut and conclude that the pilot must be crazy.)

Do you mean the Seaplane Pilots Association directory? If so, there is no listing for Lake Louisa.

Perhaps what you are remembering, Troy, is the entry for Lake Louise. It is part of the Butler Chain in Orange County. There was a report that the Windermere Drainage District prohibited weekend seaplane ops and touch-n-goes. This was incorporated into the SPA directory. When I contacted the Orange County Sheriffs Department about this (years ago) they were unaware of any such restriction on any of the Butler Chain lakes. SPA has not changed the entry.<br /><br />As for Lake Louisa, it is not in the current SPA directory (available on line for members). A park ranger on the south side of the lake once told a seaplane pilot that the park was not open to seaplane operations. When I subsequently asked another park ranger, he was unaware of any restriction. Further, the bulk of the lake is outside of the park and unrestricted. So, as far as I'm aware, Lake Louisa can be used for responsible splashing, even in sinister SeaReys.

I was never able to track down any such regulation, Troy. The reason I don't land there on holidays or weekends is because the lakes get really crowded.

Beautiful bird and great photo's Dan. If this were the tech site, I would want to ask if keeping the engine cool in the florida heat with the cowling installed was a problem or not.

There wasn't any sweat on the pilot, Joe. So, socially speaking, I'd say it was cool enough to be 'no sweat.'
