I did some LH seat time in a Beaver long ago out of Vancouver BC while visiting logging sites on the Gulf Islands. The sensation of landing at Vancouver and taxying right up to the downtown to tie up is very hard to beat!
But you can see why 50 Hrs is a good idea, because the jetty on the Islands is invariably at the head of an inlet and so you have a one-way landing where you have to have enough, but not too much, inertia to coast to the jetty without hitting it or drifting away.
I never did work out how they managed to avoid the innumerable logs that float invisibly all along that coast.
