The Life Aquatic
Sunday, April 29th, 2007Saturday, Gary and I drove north into Wine Country, seeking not wine but water.
Gary packed two Slow Sticks into his truck, one with a pair of standard GWS styrofoam and plastic floats, the other with a honkin’ big central float carved out of glued-together pieces of Blue Core foam and two smaller wing floats.
He’s flown both on the grass at Baylands, where floats work better than wheels for most planes.
I don’t have any planes with floats. Instead, I brought my two current favorite flyers, both of which weigh less than 7 ounces: a Mini Speed Wing and a blue foam space cruiser. They’re so small they can fly just about anywhere.
