This is my opinion only, after having thought about it for some time:
I was chatting here with a student pilot, who was showing a link where he flies at- Lots of big lakes nearby.
Hey, I checked out your google map, nice place to fly. Watch out for flying over water. Hey, since you're a newby, I thought I'd warn you about flying low over water-- BAD idea. You would think it's probably safer to ditch ("water crash landing") in a trike than an enclosed airplane, but a trike is an absolute death trap in water:
That is not an easy task either-- FAA studies show it is difficult to judge what height to jump, but I'm sure that not getting free first will be much worse.
