A single engine DeHavilland turbine floatplane landed in the middle of Winter Harbor late this afternoon. The engine was shut off.
A blue and white Cobalt I/O went to meet them, approaching from the NW. After several minutes, passengers stepped off the floatplane and were helped into the boat. The boat headed NW--out of sight. Two on the floatplane then went for swim.
The floatplane later took off NW after an impressively short takeoff.
The entire episode took maybe 25 minutes.
Large letters embossed the name
WHITE on both sides. No tail identification could be made out, although there was
something there, perhaps only three letters long.
A friend suggested the incident was related to the Marriott compound--and I think he's correct.
This
WHITE floatplane may be the answer to a quick weekend for some of us!
