So, Jimmy has a flying boat. Yes, you read that right. She's named the "Over Sea'r," and you wouldn't believe the smile she can pull out of you.. :) We buzzed boats and the coastline for about half an hour. It's quite strange to be cruising along on the surface, in a boat... and then to suddenly be airborne. :)

Jimmy plans to take the boat with him on the Shear Water, after which it will be the only live-aboard dive vessel with its own spotting plane!
