Opening Day – and congrats, Jason!

Hey, everybody!

 

Spring is sure getting busy around here.  We have another checkride to celebrate: my friend Jason got his add-on rating recently!  Jason flies a Cessna 210 on wheels, and while he calls California home at present, he’s also spent a lot of time over at beautiful Lake Chelan in central Washington State.

Around Seattle, we start believing that spring –and summer– are officially underway when it’s Opening Day of Boating Season.  Everyone who has a boat spruces it up, decorates it, and parades through the Montlake Cut.  The UW hosts a rowing regatta, the Windemere Cup, which attracts crew from all over the world. And, even those who don’t have a boat are in a good mood, because it’s the sign that sun and fun are on the way!

You know…. it’s also the season of graduations, Mothers and Fathers days, and so forth.  How about a seaplane ride?

Cheers,

Toby James
