  5. Out of holiday mode, back to flying... Before summer I had closed my two AH companies, and I am now restarting from scratch with Klawock Air Services, a one man business based in PAKW, Alaska. In the Tongass fjords I start with an all around Cessna 185 Amphib. First delivery is over in Canada at CAB6 on the Skitine River, a 1053m dirt/gravel strip. My plane is waiting on the PAKW parking, weather is so-so with a 10 miles visibility and broken clouds around 2700 - 3000 ft. Light wind from the south. Take off early afternoon, happy to fly again in
  6. Stage 4 From Khutze River Lodge to Kowesas River Lodge Part 3 Soft touchdown on the calm waters of the Chief Mathews Bay ... As I taxi to my destination, I float by a group of killer whales fishing with many sea birds above them ... Going up the river I float past the end of the small dirt strip. And here I am at the Kowesas River Lodge pontoon, with a warm welcome for the weekend ! A real picture of the place :
  7. Yes I always fly real time and real weather. If the weather is too bad for flying, I go boating... Or like in my Australia tour when I cannot fly real time, I load the historical weather at the time of the flight.

  16. Just for information, I won this afternoon the 600 nm Mini Fastnet Race, a 4 days race between Brittany, Land's End, Ireland, Fastnet Rock and back... on Mini One Design 6.50m sailing boats. After 4 days of sleeping 3 hours per night and a half hour here and there during the day, pints of beer (because of hot weather ) and coffee (to stay awake ) I finished 40 minutes before a korean skipper, a british skipper and an italian skipper ( and 10 other boats ) We had an american but he had to quit in the middle due to irl issues. Taking some rest now until Cowes - Dinard
  17. JG we are still in alpha stage. So no answer to your questions at this point. I also like adventure, I'm planning a round the world sailing to celebrate the 50 years of Bernard Moitessier " La longue route " the book which made me jump into sailing. For the map just drag the corner and you can have the size of your screen. If there is an engine one day, I hope we'll have a mean to seal it for the races... PS I'm already doing some nice boat trips in FSX with my cruise catamaran from Deltasim studios, except it is not persistent like Sailaway.
