Is the paved runway in the third picture Goodspeed (or whatever it's called) on the CT river?
And, wow, you landed at GI again. What a surprise.

I've been into Goodspeed - a nice summer afternoon, I recall. A friend was getting married nearby.
I saw they do seaplane training there, also - or at least they used to. Sounds like fun. A delightful little airport.

I got my sea plane rating at Good Speed back in '81. I owned my 112 and a Lake 200. Way too expensive to maintain and have fun in. I'm not a in-the-water-guy. Also too much mischief was attracted to me back then having a sea plane. Those stories in private.
My cousin has a 180 on floats in Norway parked next to his house. So is why we went to Good Speed. Never thought Good Speed a challenge. 3800 foot or something, newly paved I thought. 1700 soft grass was a bit more "exciting".
Bill, My cousin on my mother's side. Still Pictures taken with a sony HD cam. 2+meg ea.

not 3,800 - I recall more like 2,500 but as you pointed out, not really a challenge.
Reminds me a bit of Plum Island up here in Massachusetts. Just summer fun - no chain link fences, jets, FBOs. People still bring a lunch and hang out for a Saturday afternoon.

I looked quickly at the wrong runway I guess:
Runway 16W/34W
Dimensions: 4500 x 1000 ft.
Surface: water
Runway 14/32
Dimensions: 2120 x 50 ft.
Surface: asphalt
