Dude they are so fun to fly. Slow and low , stick and rudder. I had an absolute blast. The whole part about being on floats and landing on water only added to it because we just landed wherever we wanted essentially. Especially when I deal with PAX, WX, ATC, etc... It was nice to go back to basics, no radio even, and just fly for the sake of flying. We just followed the long winding CT river about halfway up (landed on it like 3x just for fun), and then headed East, touched down on a couple lakes, and then followed the river back. Since we were over water we could fly as low as we wanted pretty much (just have to space to boats).
