Anchored on the runway

Float planes are a regular part of life out here, with so many islands and sheltered, flat water everywhere. Here in Ganges we were careful to anchor well to one side of the channel so they have plenty of space, but clearly they go wherever they feel like. We've had planes pass both sides of us, within thirty or forty feet on their way to take off. We wave at the pilot and passengers, they wave back. It's neat. One day we should take a flight just to see these islands from above.
