Powered by Lycoming

About 80% of general aviation aircraft fly using Lycoming engines. Clearing the trees at the end of the runway. Leaving 4500ft for 6500ft. Maintaining airflow and generating lift across the wings. All are impossible without a reliable engine. Lycoming powers my training aircraft and so fuels my quest for a private pilot certificate. This blog is a record of my thoughts and experiences on life, flight, and learning.

Walking on the Beach

Beth & I went for a nice walk on the beach last night as the sun was setting. We went down to the tip of Amelia Island, and tried to keep from stepping on jellyfish as we walked. In typical Beth & Dan fashion, we critqued the architecture of the overpriced beach homes and speculated on what they were priced at and if they were primary homes. After about 2 miles of walking, we turned around and came home. The waves were furiously crashing - probably a 10kt wind was blowing off the water, and there was loads of seafoam. I tried to take a picture, but it really doesn't do it justice...the seafoam quivering in the sea breeze, and sometimes a huge clump would break loose and go cartwheeling down the beach, leaving an ugly green stain on the sand. I tried to get Beth to jump up and down in the seafoam, but she wasn't having anything to do with that. Figures:).
Masses of Quivering Seafoam! Eeewwww!

Pale yankee couples! Eeewwww!
