Right....which is something that I didn't really think about until
yesterday, and it is something that should be touched on my local
instructors.

Thanks...

the pilot of the float plane should have said a bit more to clarify what
he was doing.


I am familiar with the Seattle area, though I've never flown any kind of
plane there. Having at one time been a seaplane pilot, I find myself
looking up when one goes over, and that is a frequent occurence in Seattle
and environs. So I think any pilot there would be alert to seaplane
activity and be paying attention to the water as well as to airstrips on
sectionals (and the usual scan, etc.).
