" I want to schedule a surprise Seaplane lesson for my husband's birthday while we are in Homer at the end of the month."
" OK, he should be ready to go whenever the weather clears up or it is not blowing wind."
" So which day will that be? "
" Only God knows. But generally the fall mornings and later afternoons are better because the ocean wind calms down."
" Which days are those?"
( several repeat -emails and text of same question )
" Ok, I now have 15 e-mails from you asking about the weather next week. There is no telling what it will do, just be ready to go if it is nice. The last 5 days have been solid rain or rain with high winds. "
" So, Sunday the 26th at 1pm will be good??"
" I give up"
A couple days later.
"How about today? we have spare time."
" It is foggy with half mile visibility, it would be suicidal."
" But won't it be nice inside the plane? "
" Do you work for the FAA? "
