IT CAN BE DONE!
....But it helps to be in the right country. Have been flying my 1946 Piper Cub floatplane 70 miles from lake cottage to work most days since late May here in NW Ontario. Occasional delays due to early morning lake mist and afternoon thunderstorms but 90% of days are VFR - think it was 60-65% in UK and NL.
Always have a Plan B and remember what they say: it's better to be down here wishing you were up there, than up there wishing you were down here!
