Gertrude;
Yes, if you were issued the seaplane rating and it is on your license you have something worth while.
For years training schools and individual instructors have given seaplane ratings and did not in fact allow solo flight.
I know the person who gave you your training, it is of no intrest to me if he / she was in the airplane when you did your five "solo" circuits.
However please think about commenting on how the "solo" was flown.
Transport Canada is on a witch hunt to find people who admit to not having been alone in the airplane when the "solo" was signed off. You can bet some of the same TC people who will coeherse you into admitting you were not alone got their seaplane ratings the same way.
If Transport Canada can get you to admit to not being alone in the airplane they will revoke your rating.
They have already revoked about 100 to 150 seaplane ratings here in this Region.
If you are contacted by Transport think about giving any information to them.
Remember you are not obligated to cut your own throat.
Chuck.
