Great weather for the flight . After cruising over a few private airstrips, sand and rock pits and a bunch of field sprinklers around New Richmond we refueled and flew to Cumberland. There we bought gas and the manager offered us the courtesy car to go into town and get lunch. When we got back Randy's BeLite wouldn't start After the mechanic tried to help us jump it it was clear it was a starter issue. So I borrowed a hammer from him whacked the starter a few times and everything worked just fine and we thanked him for the help and flew back to New Richmond. There was a large float plane there getting engine work. I think this ia the kind of plane we took to Catalina Island (california) when I was a kid. http://www.west1m.com/July_30_2018/index.html -------- West1m Hastings, MN Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=482019#482019 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/floatplane_776.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/basslake2_184.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/basslake1_135.jpg ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 12:24:24 PM PST US From: "John Hauck" Subject: RE: Kolb-List: Bass Lake I like the photo of the Kolb snuggled up to the Grumman Albatross (had to Google to find out which Grumman it was).

I took the Badger across Lake Michigan to Manitowoc, Wisconsin and a friend of mine who lives in Appleton picked me up. We had a great time. No flying hassles. Id like to fly over the lake sometime. But its 64 miles over water from Ludington,Michigan to the airport in Manitowoc,Wisconsin. Its probably a crazy idea without floats.

Weather was good and forecast to stay that way. No problem, I had my brand new self inflatable life vest. Only 48 minute flight with ground speed of 80 mph. Got about 10 miles off shore and the horizon disappeared. Everything all around me was blue gray. Almost like flying into a cloud. I turned around, could see the horizon on the shore line and headed back west, then south to Chicago. After a little thinking about what I had just about tried, I decided that flying the Lake was not on my bucket list anymore. john h mkIII Titus, Alabama -----Original Message----- From: owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of George Helton Sent: Thursday, August 02, 2018 5:18 PM Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Bass Lake I didnt fly over John.
