You will find that sectional maps won't be of

What's a "sectional"?

:-)

Seriously, with all the electronic doodads on board nowadays, it is a
rare day, indeed, that I refer to my sectional chart. * I still
maintain new ones in the plane, although they are incredibly hard to
find. *Since we moved to Texas I've been forced to buy them on line,
cuz no one down here sells them.

Yes, plenty of GPS doodads. A fellow can even find his
way these days with a good cell phone. Now, when you
start considering a cross-country amphibious mission
things get a little more ambiguous.

The FAA doesn't care what you do once you're not in
air, and on water you're relegated to the whims of
whoever rules the water that week. Lots of funny stories
abound about "outrunning" the game warden. Get caught
and you'll be removing wings and hiring a transport trailor.
That is, if you're lucky enough to have a road nearby.
