On Valentine's Day (in the US: Feb 14) my wife and I jumped at the opportunity of a clear sky and fair winds to fly down to Rockport Texas. Between us and Rockport is a large fraction of the Texas coast, both populated and not-so-much. I used to make frequent beach flights years ago but it's been quite some time. But today was a great day for beach flying. (Note: if you look at the Speed/Altitude chart, the speed portion of it seems correct, but the altitude portion is definitely not... our highest altitude was probably 2500 feet over Galveston Bay.)
