Hoping this is the right spot for this topic. Since purchasing my Mooney in March of 2021, I've flown it about 600 hours, mostly between Mexico City and my hometown of Victoria, Canada. Recently, after a few days at Oshkosh, I took the long route to Victoria via Yellowknife, NWT.
This holiday I'll be doing my first extended flight over water, flying from Mexico City > Cozumel > Kingston, Jamaica > St. Croix > Antigua and then back again a week later.
While the water is warm, I have life jackets, and the regs are muddy on whether part 91 operators need a life raft in the USA, I'm into being responsible and am planning on bringing one with me.
I'm sure there are a few of you on this forum who have a spare life raft sitting around. Would any of you be willing to rent it to me for a about a month starting December 13th - January 13th? I would need it shipped to me in South Texas and would ship it back to you when done.
Also any tips on extended overwater operations would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
