I took this yesterday while at our property meeting the electrician. I've seen this thing fly by a few times but I never had my camera. I wish I had my zoom lens on but you can get the idea. It's a flying boat! The man was just featured on the news a couple of nights ago. Here's the story:

I thought maybe he caught up in that hurricane and was sailing off to Oz.

@cromwell Funny... the hurricane is on the East Coast, we're the opposite end!

@kwind -- Lucky you. I rode my bicycle today to a shoot that was a great distance from my house and found myself battle the windy effects of the hurricane. Although it isn't hitting Florida we are getting pretty stiff wind gusts. Man, my hole body is SO tired!

Very interesting craft! I guess it would be ideal if you live near a large body of water like Claude does.

Great find. I wonder if he is the same guy who was monocycling on the huge rock ?
