I poured scorn on making a mountain out of a molehill and you made me out to be gung ho. I suspect I have one or two more water crossings in light GA aircraft than the average Private flyer. I know what works and what does not. After 20yrs of teaching diving ranging from working for the British Antarctic Survey, rigs off scotland to fat yanks in Jamaica I also have a pretty good understanding of exposure protection and what works. I am also used to making life or death risk assessment in very inhostpitable enviornments. I tend think that takes me a very long way from being "gung-ho".
How many trips have you done over water in light GA aircraft Wombat?
