I've watched most floatplanes taxi
from that area, but never
to that area. In other words, they might land there, but not take off from there. Anywhere else in the "Greater Winter Harbor area" should be fine for his operations.

A white Cessna floatplane (5-0-Zulu) with amphibious floats made several landings and take offs today in Winter Harbor. He must have a two-bladed prop, as the whole neighborhood was shaking. He throttled back after getting airborne each time, but it was pretty intense for all the surrounding area.
It's 9:20-PM now, and a NHMP twin-outboard just went by. They've been pretty active in this area, but not so much with the twin-outboard. That's two today, that
I saw.
