What a spectacular weekend. I didn't get the chance to sleep on the boat but I think they had a full crew Saturday night. After brunch at the Narraganset Sunday morning, a two hour island tour in a monster van, Vlad was going nuts to get flying. We got in some island flying sights and then the group started splitting up.

Next Saturday we are planning katama at Martha's Vineyard. All invited.

See you there.

Default Great weekend!

I thought it would be fun to get some aviation folks together for a weekend in Block Island for a Sail in/ Fly in. Man it was a lot of fun. Especially when Turbo showed up with his ride. A tour of the Island was in order and my first trip in a helicopter. So I think this has to become an annual plan! Awesome weather, great people and a lot of laughs.


We will also "work for whisky"

Turbo's way cool ride! I want one.
