No float plane here, Capt'n. The next lake is 5hr away and from the beach, 1.5 min away, I wouldn't dare. It's good for body surf but not for floating toys. Not my toys anyway.
I don't have a flying field. I fly from where ever I can. Mostly from the baseball field nearby with takeoffs right over the houses and landings between the palms. I'm still looking to get me a piece of land to make a flying field. I'm the only guy here who is into it. Most, if not all, of the locals can't afford it and none of the gringos that I know are not into this. They made a road for a subdivision right next to me. I'll go there and try it out for a while.
