I'm curious what the current state of sea plane fuel is. When I started
flying sea planes cross countries were planned to docs where boat fuel
was available and most all seaplanes had mogas STCs. Since avgas is so
rare on the water and seaplanes have such short legs what are people
doing today with regard to cross countries in straight floats?

I do not have any personal experience with floatplane flying, but
there was a great article a few months ago (I think in EAA's Sport
Aviation) about flying straight floats to Oshkosh.

It opened my eyes to how much difficulty floatplane pilots have
securing fuel on cross-countries.
