Lake Winnepausaukee

It hasn't become a major issue yet (despite the seaplane that flipped over
on the lake a few weeks back -- i think the NTSB blamed it on a wake), but
I have witnessed some seaplanes coming uncomfortably close to powerboaters
and even kayakers. How on earth can a pilot see if there is a kayaker
where he/she intends to land??

Its hard enough to see these kayakers when you on the water (although my
trusty Furuno usually picks them up), so i don't see how a landing plane
can possibly see them.


Well, if that's the case, then it's in the best interest of the kayaker to
move out of the way of the seaplane, right-of-way be damned.

By the way, it's Winnipesaukee, not Winnepausaukee.

Hell, the planes just run over them, if you are in one of them. You are the
one that wanted to see a plane crash, aren't you?

By the way, since you will not fly in light aircraft, (not you, Stephen) and
this group is about piloting, and you are interested in neither of these,
your welcome is wearing out. Why don't you get the frick out of here?

I know you aren't the one wanting to see a crash. I put in there, a (not
you Stephen), because the only way I see this other poster, is when someone
(you) replies to his post. He is a loon of loons.

"Right of way be damned." That pretty much sums it up.

When you are in your little TPA, i hope you have the same attitude when
some 70 year old pilot just barges right in, or when some slow C-150 is
doing a super wide pattern and creates havoc.

Isn't that where the Blues Brothers played?
