It's obviously not Buck Nekid Cove, but it does look like you completed phase I of your flight testing. Congratulations!

Not quite. As of today I have 32 of 40 hours. The flight testing operating limits only say 'no passengers in flight'. We step taxied from Incline Village beach the 3 miles to Secrect Harbor. Gotta love a seaplane!

Now, John, these photos are just too beautiful to believe. There are mosquitoes and blackflies everywhere, right? And alligators and pirranaha in the lake, Blackhawk helicopters enforcing TFRs, and condo owners up the hill screaming at you to get off their beach! There is a factory belching smoke in the next bay and a freeway just the other side of the hill. <br /><br />Well, maybe not, but aren't you worried about being scalped by wild Indians?

Dan, maybe that's why he called it 'Secret Harbor.' No scalping by wild Developers because they haven't found it yet.

Dan,<br /><br /> The air is too thin for mosquitoes to fly. The blackflies have all been bleached white by the UV rays at this altitude and have hypoxia, so crawl slowly on the ground. The largest things in Tahoe are 30 lb. Mackinaw trout, and I know where to catch them now, as I saw where the charter boats were congregating on a dawn patrol the other day. I did have have a head on encounter with a blackhawk helicopter while flying boat mast high the other day, but we both jinked the opposite directions. Guess they were taking a Tahoe tour on the taxpayer's dollar. No freeways around Tahoe, just two lane roads with 45 mph speed limits. It takes me 45 minutes to make a Searey circuit of the Lake! When I asked the Walker Lake ranger station the other day, if there were any restrictions there for seaplanes they replied, ' None at all. Have fun!' ...and I did. The Indians are getting even with the White man by opening casinos, and in Nevada brothels are legal!

John, I remember making a low pass around Tahoe many years ago in a C-130, sitting behind the engineer. So low, in fact that the flight engineer and I checked for prop damage when we were done. You know you are too low when you have to climb to bank. <br />
