I managed to get my Multi-engine Sea ATP in 1992 in a Widgeon, but didn’t get my single-engine sea until 2019. Well worth the wait to get it from Darlene Rudisill in Alaska at Alaska Float Training.

I got my Seaplane rating a couple of years ago at Jack Brown’s and it was the most fun flying I have had in a long time! I am due to go back and get some more time on floats! I may try that place on Lake Dora.

Touchdown! Greaser!
I wanted to get a seaplane rating, but I was told I can't fly in my speedos...

Did they cite a regulation?

That just says he’s got to leave the Speedo on.
You don't know how good the coverage is.

Here's my small world connection, one of the first planes I ever got to lay hands on as an A&P student was probably your family Widgeon 25 years ago. I believe your dad was friends with one of my instructors at East Coast Aero Tech, and arranged to get it annualed with us students helping. Very cool that it wasn't a random Cessna or Piper. Still not Sea rated myself, but on my short list.Multi-Sea ATP in a Widgeon 31 years ago and single engine sea from Darlene at Alaska Float Training a few years ago which was a blast.

Yup, Coast Guard colors, and with the original Ranger 440s. In fact, my first experience with the rope trick to fix a sticky valve was on one of those Rangers! Very cool plane and experience as a budding mechanic.
