Title: Frenchman's Bay Float Fly Sunday May 17 at 5:00pm
Post by: piker on May 13, 2015, 10:30:52 AM
Hey everyone!

We have another float fly scheduled for this coming Sunday, May 17th at 5:00pm at Frenchman's Bay in Pickering.

We were there float flying a couple of weeks ago and the water was clear of weeds and beautiful for float flying.  I hope everyone can make it out!

Here's where we fly (either at the parking lot or the pit area just a little west of the lot... where we usually set-up):

Bring your planes, bring a chair, bring a jacket and be prepared for an awesome great time  ;D

I'll have the retrieval boat ready to go as usual.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Robert

My wife's been very ill, but if she's feeling OK Sunday I'll be coming out. Ken Coleman said he'd make it out as well if the wind cooperates.

We had a great evening of float flying at Frenchman's Bay on Sunday.

We had a very modest turnout, but those of us who were there flew a lot and enjoyed the perfect float flying conditions.

We didn't have any club photographers with, so all I can offer is a few pictures I took with my phone:
