Block Island in 2004: Flying!
Since Greg is basically the Man without Fear, and since his Dad is dedicated to going along on the G-Man's adventures, Greg and Geoff went parasailing about 400 feet above Block Island! They had approximately 30 miles of visibility, able to see from the Newport Bridge on the Rhode Island mainland to the northeast all the way to Montauk Light at the end of Long Island to the southwest.

Left, the boat looks kind of like a toy from about 200 feet up, doesn't it? |
