Thank you Ray, we live on a 21x7 mile island. All we do is fly over water, all the time, i guess you can say its our specialty. Taking off and landing from a moving boat, small or large is no issue, if there is room for the props to spin up, there's room for me to take off.
Wait until you see the video we are working on now should be done in a week. We played Chicken with an old Pan-Am DC-6 aircraft (sanctioned by the FAA), over water. Here is a pic.

I hear all the time of crews that will not fly over water. Don't understand why this is, your equipment doesn't fly any different over water than it does over land. I am more relaxed to be flying over water than land, you don't have to worry as much about causing harm to a person or property should there be a malfunction.
In the end I guess being fully insured on our rigs and equipment helps out mentally :nevreness:
