Description:
When the wake arrived, the water came back and if I believed in animism I'd say it arrived with a vengeance. It came in several waves--I lost track of how many--and each one picked the SeaRey up and smashed it down on the stony beach. Each time the airplane went farther up the beach.
Then it was finished, and the ship was well on the way to the Atlantic.
Eventually we wrestled the SeaRey back into the water. An hour later we flew back to FCI. The damage is a bashed-in place at the point of the step. It leaks some, but it's not holed, and a little fiberglass work will make it right again.
And the new name of the island? Wake Island, of course.

Sorry for the damage Don. So much for the old boating principle 'You are <br />responsible for your wake.' Another 'Hazard' to add to the list? <br />Otherwise, looks like an idyllic day.

I think the master of that ship may have gotten worried about the little seaplanes being tossed by his wake. At any rate, Tommy Crump, a friend who lives downstream, told me today that the ship slowed to 'no wake' speed past his dock. Tommy said that same ship goes up and down the river twice a week on a regular schedule, but had never slowed up before.

An altogether appropriate nomination, Don. Congratulations to your new fast action photographer on a superb job (did I mention she can dance too?).

She did well, Dan--and had never even used that camera before. And dance? Well, as you know, for her it's dance and for me, dunce.
