    Nice to see a city that’s not worried about the “Sound of Freedom” !

    Awesome to start with one of the best fountains ever!!!
    Avalon at Catalina Island use to have a lot of seaplane traffic.
    They need to look at what you are doing.

    Go there almost every month for lunch/dinner or just to watch. Always some action! They have rebuilt all the docks and have special seaplane docks along with the ramp, dry parking. Neat small city.

    Stayed here a few days a couple months ago. Great little city and really dedicated to the seaplane pilot population.

    I am a part of the civil war reenactment there and last year the hurricane destroyed much of their docks if I remember correctly, we had to load and unload on the grassy shoreline. I hope they have it all back up and running again.

      Just remember the mosquitos, the hot humid days, the and the nearly deads swarming the early bird restaurants and the feeling will pass.

    Don't miss The Monster Splash this fall. The fly in will be Saturday, October 21st and we get to use pumpkins for the bomb ammunition. The kids will have an opportunity to decorate the pumpkins before we hand them off to the pilots. Fun for all

    I miss Tavares. I used to hangar my Searey at Apoka and was always over there. Now I live in an aipark in North Carolina, and there is nothing like that anywhere up here.... NC lakes are beautiful but are not seaplane friendly like lakes and marinas in Florida...

      Imagine if the Space Shuttle Atlantis did a high-speed kiss and go on the lake before landing at the Kennedy Space Center - now that would turn some heads!
