Going sailing

I'm embarrassed to have so few photos for show and tell, but my excuse is that I've been too busy flying. Seaplane rating in a Super Cub, can it get any better than that?
I'm obviously not much of a sailor, five tries before I managed to dock at a pier yesterday. Hum. I blame the wind.
Here we are in the middle of the lake at Biscarrosse. And outside the hangar, while I recover from pumping out the floats. It's astounding how much water finds its way in.
On the whole I think the best bit is taxi-ing on the step. Doing whole 360 turns, then back the other way. Amazing stuff.
