Fri, July 28th

Friday was our day to head to the Seaplane Base -- an oasis of peace and quiet after days of noise and activity.

It was also the hottest day of the week, so being in the shade and on the water was wonderful -- although it was even hot there.

Here are some pix from the day:

A skywriter high overhead...

Sunrise at the camp site...

Atlas in the sunshine....

The grass has noticeably grown over the week...

The beautiful seaplane base...

The water wasn't very nice looking this year...

This is what the seaplane base if for...relaxing!

A very cool Albatross, painted in Coast Guard livery...

At anchor...

That plane just looks good...

And the THUNDER it makes on departure is amazing...

A very cool ground effect vehicle...

It flies, sort of...

Remember "Gentle Ben"?

Right out of the Everglades...
