I don't have a problem with postponing it do to the lack of participants. Have a great holiday weekend. See you at the Beeton float fly.

What a great evening. Thank you Rob for organizing this event. And thank you for retrieving my plane.

Yes! It turned out to be a fantastic evening of float flying! We arrived at 5:00 and few non-stop until 9:00 Most of the time there were 5 planes in the air, sometimes 6!

We ended up with quite a good turn out. Let's see... there was... Me, Bruce, Rob D., Ken C., Ken R., Colin, Oscar, Gerry, Bill, Glenn... (I think that's everyone)... and a few spectators.

Thanks for come out everyone. You guys make it a fun evening!

Oh, and my new boat worked well. It even tried to sail off on it's own at the end of the evening.

And the sunset was SPECTACULAR!!!

You are right Rob, flying isn't the only thing that makes this hobby fun. Thanks for organizing the float fly Rob and for investing in a new boat that I am sure all of us will get the benefit out of sooner or later.

Anyone take pictures of the float fly? I was really sorry that I had to miss it.

I managed to capture Rob's new boat getting 'rescue' after 'sail off on its own'.
