I really enjoy, on a pleasant day, piloting from up above.
A friend who owns a Sea Ray sport cruiser and I were talking last weekend about boating and the dubject of running at night came up. I told him that on rare occasions we might leave the marina before daylight because or the current flow. He asked me how I could see crab trap floats in the dark when he had such trouble spotting them. I pointed out to him that I was not looking through a windshield and that I had a higher vantage point. He understood.
