Welcome
Welcome to the WSPA website, a publication for pilots with water on the Brain
The WSPA is a group of over 100 friendly, and knowledgeable, "old-timers" and individuals new to the sport of Water Flying. Our main objective is to Keep Washington Waterways OPEN. And, we try to have some fun while doing it. We gather together on a number of occasions each year to share our interests and lives.
My thirst
for knowledge 12 years ago when I came to Washington included two new
venues; Seaplanes and the Great Northwest. I was not familiar with either
one. SPA had a little information, and WSPA seemed to have a
small social group that did some important things in the background. Since
we'd
just purchased a Seabee, in order to be safe, I needed to know more about the
old beast and this fantastic area we now called home. Information
was scarce and networking was unheard of. I wanted
more.....
I found other "Bee" owners and a few local WSPA members willing
to share the knowledge needed to operate here safely and have a great
time. We want you to be able to do that also. Our goals
are to;
1-Keep our
waters open to seaplane access
2-Operate
Safely
3-Share the
knowledge
4-Have some Fun
We are now able to provide the information you seek
and hopefully we are bringing our efforts from the "background" forward.
It is imperative that we stay on top of these very important issues. And,
it is imperative that we operate safely. So, please share your experience
and/or enthusiasm with us to make this as fun, and as safe as it can be.
I hope you enjoy the website and find it
informative. If you have any ideas about how to make this a better, more
useful, safer or more beneficial organization, please let us know.
We are also looking for some volunteers to take an
interest in building this organization. I'd like you all to ask
yourselves... "how can my skills or personality, help the WSPA?" Try
a little participation, can't hurt, and it's guaranteed to be
fun.
