Man, your pictures are killin' me. I'm starting to get that feeling -- something akin to the way I felt about 4.5 years ago. Oh boy...my wife will never forgive me this time...

I loved your pictures from your trip too. Looks like your getting some great use of your plane. Maybe we will have to do a group RV flight up this direction someday.

I was just checking out some the homes you can rent around Roche Harbor on www.vrbo.com There are some 1/4 mile from the runway right on the water. I think will try one of those next time. I would have love to rent some bikes and cruise around the islands.

You already have it made with your wife. She has the vision of what an airplane really is about. Now she needs to get her license so you can build another one when the next one is on the way.

By the way, this was the first time I've shot with my new Canon G9 on a flying trip. I really like this camera. I have a filter for it but I forgot it on this trip. It is still a point and shoot but is big enough to have some good light gathering.

This trip really surprised me with the beauty and the different airports you could fly to, get out of the plan and watch around town. How can life be any better than that? OK, and being able to play with my niece is always fun.

By the way, I read your trip report and you need an RV-10 when the time comes, she won't kill you. Pretty soon your son will be bucking rivets with you. I think there are some great deals out there right now on completed ones and partially completed ones. I love this plane more and more every hour that I get on it (just turned 375). The RV-10 is fun to fly like an RV-7, great visibility and is very economical.

Default Very Nice

Thanks Scott for the write up. I have friends that live there and they have been bugging me to visit for years. This write up may have been the motivation to do so for sure.

Default Great Trip Report

Scott,

I thoroughly enjoyed your pictures and narrative of the trip to San Juan Islands. I have met you a couple of times. I was the other red RV-8 with Joe Waltz when we met you in the air over Salt Lake on our return from our Idaho trip last October. Glad to see your beautiful airplane is still doing fantastic work. Your little niece is quite adorable, but of course you already know that. Good work!!

Hi Sam, I remember you. Here are some pictures of that day.
I wish I could have joined you on that trip still.
Thanks for the compliment. She is cute and always has a smile on her face.






Have a great week.

This reminds me of a card my mom gave us after we were married. It said something like, "I bet you were getting tired of all those questions about when you were ever going to get married. Well at least you don't have to answer that anymore....................So when are you going to have kids?"

I feel like I have a bunch of kids between all my friends children, my dog and the RV. The RV had a gestation period of 34 months and is only 15.625 days old now (in airplane years).
