Sweet shot :)
I don't mind flying over Lake Michigan, but flying over the ocean, where I am not at the top of the food chain, would be scary.
I would venture to guess if ditching in the ocean was required , your location on the food chain would be the least of your worries .
Flying the Oregon coast is really a pretty safe proposition since a major portion of the coastline is wide sandy beaches. I fly within gliding distance of the beach and feel quite safe most of the time.
I got tired of the flatlands of Texas a decided to do some Mountain Flying. I flew up to Idaho and meet up with Paul Leadabrand to get some Tail Dragger training. Paul is undoubtedly one of the best instructors I have ever had the pleasure to train with. If you just want to improve your skills, get a tail Dragger sign off, or to get your BFR. I would highly recommend Paul at Stick and Rudder. Here is a photo of me with Paul's plane in the Back Country of Idaho. I love the color of his planes! I've got a few more photos I'll upload when I get back home. There were two more SLSA at Boise, one getting ready to got to Alaska, and one to the East Coast.
I'm contemplating taking 703KA up to the factory, and get John to convert it to a Conventional Gear set up, and possibly a couple more mods.

Here is another photo. Oh my, what have I gotten myself in to? :D
