Could you please explain what is childish about landing a seaplane in the
water?

Lets see,
For starters this part of Lk. Mich. gets arr & dep traffic from ORD.
How responsible is it
to attempt a take off without telling FAA controllers? MDW traffic goes
over the southern portion of the lake, and the occasional Hooters
flight from Gary too.

And what if the take-off is faulty, how much boat traffic is in the
"crash zone"??

Those are the dumbest statements ever. One can fly up and down the lake
front 24 hours a day and not talk to anybody. Controllers won't talk to you
even if you want them to. It is not under airtraffic control. Boat traffic
in the middle of winter? Yea right. Even in the middle of summer boat
traffic is not a factor. You have obviously never seen Lake Michigan. If
the takeoff is faulty you land on the 333 mile long runway or the 85 mile
long cross runway.

Lets see ds, claims:
"Dave S.
2 years a pilot
15 years a competative Lake Michigan sailor"

So maybe you traveled this part of LM near north ave beach, maybe not.
But in the summer it IS crowded and anyone playing Chuck Yeager needs
to grow up.

Or have you forgotten the MIAMI WRECK ??

So? How is that relevant? The ignorant "jgrove" attempts to pronounce
knowledge on aviation safety, but he is more like a representative of
the streetwalkers union promoting chastity.
