Description:
We found Rolf's friend's marina, but the ramp was too narrow for our wings, and there seemed to be no other good place to tie up, so we continued up the channel to a public bathing beach, deserted in the light rain. There was no place to get food, but the john was handy, and after about four hours in the airplanes we were grateful for it.
Unfortunately, among the several curious persons who came down to gawk was a newspaper reporter. He was busy taking photos and later tried to get our names. We tried to convince him not to file the story because we were sure that the headline would be: AIRPLANES FORCED TO LAND ON BEACH. But we couldn't talk him out of it, and Rolf's friend saw the photo the next day in the Green Bay Press-Gazette. He said it wasn't clear enough to pick out the registration numbers, though, and there wasn't much text with it. The headline, he said, was 'EXPERIMENTAL AIRPLANES FORCED DOWN.' Tsk.
