Colonial Beach

[Steve Harris]

All
The weather looks great for tomorrow, partly cloudy skies and cool temps. Shannon from the Dockside Restaurant will open the tiki bar early to serve beverages, the kitchen will open at 10 with a limited brunch menu and then later a lunch menu. She is excited and looking forward to the return of the seaplanes on the beach. It is a busy weekend for the area and I have had a lot of interest from local residents about the event. Last year we had a great turnout and I hope we can exceed the number we had last year. From those who have responded we will have a nice variety of aircraft to include Super Petrels, ICONS and a couple of Seabees. I am planing on arriving around 0900 and will have a radio (123.45). Plan to come out and enjoy the day. Fly Safe!

ALL,
I want to thank all those who made the effort to come out to Colonial Beach. Despite some challenging wind conditions we had 9 aircraft arrive and depart, 3 types of cubs, 2 SeaBees, and 4 SeeRays. Shannon at the Dockside Restaurant and Tiki Bar went above and beyond in hosting us, with her help and the help of the internet we had a HUGE turnout of local residents. They were grateful that we came and all said they are looking forward to our return. Due to the wind conditions we had several who flew out and but made the decision not to land and several more who were not able to make it for other reasons. We will make this an annual event with maybe a spring and fall migration. I was busy helping people beach there planes so I didn’t get any pics. So if anyone got some good pics please send them to me so I can post an after splash-in summary on instagram and Facebook. Thanks again for for a safe and enjoyable event.

Steve,

    Thanks very much for setting this up.  I've spoken with Shannon and let her know I'll be working with her to set up another next year.

Thanks Steve,

For all of your hard work.  What a great crowd.  Both in airplanes and people that attended!  Despite the challenging wind, I had a great time!
