An interesting airport to check out - they’ve got a pond serving as a seaplane runway. Gill Aviation gives great service. Taxiing to Gill is pretty straightforward, but brief the hotspots

Gill Aviation really changed how I look at FBOs with their excellent service. I stopped for 4h in a Kitfox IV back in January to swap passengers and take a call. Spent about $45 for 8 gal of fuel and didn’t get charged anything else. The cafe is delicious and cheap. Service from everyone was excellent. Facilities are excellent too. Highly recommend.

A preflight once-over of the airport diagram and taxi chart is absolutely necessary. Taxiways and turnoffs can be a real headache. ATC gets VERY testy when you make an honest mistake.
