For a minute their I thought 'glider', but of course gliders don't float.
Nice pics, must be
...hmmm... interesting being a blimp pilot.

It must be quite relaxing, something like "immediate hard right turn" would still let you start, then go get a drink, come back and complete the turn

It can go as fast as a cessna so depending on your personality you can either float around or go hard out

...leads to paraphrasing something I got the other day:
So there's this F16 hotshot, flying escort to a C130.
F16: Think I'll do a little something to while away the hours...
So he goes A/B vertical, up to 45,000 pulls over, screams down, Mach 1.8, 9g out the bottom, two 90's and barrel rolls out airbrakes open, back in line astern.
F16: I'm BACK, whaddaya think about THAT!
(OK you probably know what's coming..)
C130: Think I'll do a little something to while away the hours...
C130 drones on for 5 minutes
C130: I'm BACK, whaddaya think about THAT!
F16: Whaddaya mean, think about WHAT??
C130: Welll, I had me a little stretch, took a walk out back, had a pee, made a coffee, had a bun, now I'm BACK!
