Description: This Widgeon was tied up at the Sweet Dreams dock overnight. By morning, the right float had swung into the 'up' position (I don't know why) and the wingtip was in the water. Also, the hull was resting lightly on the lake bottom, so it took a bit of muscle to get the airplane turned around. Once that was accomplished, the pilot and his friend got in and powered out into the lake and eventually got the wing up and the float down.

    Don, you leave it in that position for doing those knife-edge takeoffs...
