I sense the force is strong in you Glenn, at least one extra day of flying's worth.

Sounds good, I'm in , I need about 3' of water for safety landing and it looks good in the pic.
Tom, don't try taxiing up on that beach, you'll get the Twin Bee stuck. Then when you try to power off, it will keep tipping up on it's nose. Be content to put the gear down and just taxi into shallow water turning sideways when the wheels start rolling on the bottom. Approach the shore at an angle. Depending on the slope you may be able to get the tail high enough to get ashore without getting your feet wet.I'll do the water, still working on getting on the beach and getting out,lol, it will be fun.

First remove the copilot's control wheel while still out on the water.Good I'll nose in and tie off to,a ground stake that I'll bring.
Bob !!!!!!!!
Thanks Pete, I have hopes that Glen will wade out and piggy back me in! I left my waders in Alaska where I have three pairs just hanging in a closet. Must be a law,of nature that thing you need are just out of reach,lol.
First remove the copilot's control wheel while still out on the water.
Then open the bow door, holding it open with the brace rod. This will offset the weather cocking effect of the big tail.
Put the gear down for water drag. Then, depending on the slope the gear may also touch the bottom which will help if the wind is blowing.
Leaving the beach will be awkward when nosed in particularly if the wind is not favorable. You will likely need a ground handler to get turned around.
You could tail it in like Glenn's J-4. Using the hand pump slowly retract the gear. The tail wheel will come up first. Pump just enough to retract the tail wheel. Then it should be easier to lift the tail onto the beach. Though in this position you will have to be a monkey to get back into the cabin.
Have fun and post a picture so that I can see how you made out.
