Considering an amphibian/floatplane since my favorite thing to do on a nice day is to go down the river and enjoy the weather.
Just wondering what the limitations are as far as operating out of moving water? It's not rough, and not too fast for swimming, and people operate small boats in the rivers here.
Also what depth is required for safe operation?
How maneuvable is the average light amphib on the water? Landing in calmer areas could be possible with a bit of taxiing to get where I want to be.
Sorry for all the questions, water operation is something I don't know much about.
