Nathan: Several of us including a P.E have set around the table talking
about the same thing. Diesel engines great for the lagoon hopping out in
the So. Pacific. I even approached one of Burt Rutan's test pilots and
told
him to get Burt working on the idea..??
I think the idea is neat.. We spent 8 years out in the Pacific in the
Marshall islands and the type of ship you are playing with would be the
thing to have. Better than a sailboat.

I recall a French series of nature documentaries filmed in Patagonia etc.
featuring a huge amphibian twin-engined aircraft, sort of a flying
combination of a house, a boat and an airplane. I wish I could find the
name of the series.
