Description:
“Almost twins.”
“Almost, only Peli is looking for a new home.”
“Anyone would be lucky to have him.”
Daily Flight Log
Meridian, AL (MEI) to Tombigbee River (splash)
Tombigbee River to Alabama River (splash)
Alabama River to Bonifay, FL (1J0), 3.3 hours
Bonifay to Apalachicola River (splash)
Apalachicola River to construction site (pit stop)
Construction site to Home, Little Lake Harris (splash), 4.5
For a daily total of 7.8 hours in the air.
“Another sad day for flying efficiency. A direct route would cover only 430 nautical miles from Meridian. At 70 knots, that could be done in around 6.1 hours.”
“At 70 knots, indeed. How about at 35 knots while flying into a hurricane?”
“Indeed, that serves to raise questions about the wisdom of such flying.”
“According to the GPS, we covered a total of 3,153 statute miles at an average of 67 miles per hour from Sitka. A total of 48.4 hours is not too shabby for crossing America in a SeaRey.”
“I suppose if you ignore crashing, it’s not too bad.”
“The important thing is to focus on the result: Peli is back in Florida in fine flying shape in six days. Now, that ain’t too shabby.”
“It is the lucky result. Better lucky than good?”
“Whatever works.”
