I’ll get some more pics, the tide wasn’t very low and I didn’t want to venture too far off the coast. If I get a low tide, I’ll go fly around it, but if I have an engine out, i want to be able to land in at least shallow water. You’re welcome to use anything I post.

mtiffee,
Good on ya’ for being willing to help a great charity. Bonzo, for those of us who can’t make the fundraiser, but still care about conserving the lighthouse, can you please post a link to where we can contribute?
Thanks!

absolutely…go to www.savethelight.org and look under the “Contributions” tab…join as a member, make a donation in honor or memory of someone, lots of ways to help and I really appreciate the support from the CF.com community…the oyster roast yesterday was wet and cold, but there were a lot of people there…my estimate is somewhere near 250 people…I’ll post some results when we tally everything…did I mention it was COLD and WET yesterday? but Mike and his oyster crew did an amazing job of keeping up with all the hungry mouths!

Very nice! I do have one question though? Where is the camera? Was this shot from another glider or did you mount it somehow on yours?
The camera was mounted on a “follow cam” which is a tube with fins suspended from a line attached to the trailing edge of the glider. So it just follows me around.
