Got up this morning to pouring rain and decided with howling winds and rain, “I think I’ll take the day off!” \u00a0 Your probably tired of tropical pictures anyway!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Last night I learned a great lesson on drone flying when I made the very last shot, the parasailor from well above. \u00a0I flew the drone way out to where they were sailing and went high enough there was not chance I would interfere with their sails. \u00a0Well, the wind up there was even more strong than down where I was flying from. \u00a0After I got a shot I started to return to home. \u00a0The wind kept altering the course and I could not find the drone against the bright sky, I was looking into the sunset area of the sky. \u00a0My map, on the controller screen, showed the drone coming the correct direction, but at a snails pace. \u00a0While the drone which I could still \u00a0not find in the sky was returning and my battery was going down on the drone!!!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Calling on my experience from flying ultra lights, I thought I’ve got to get out of this wind, so I descended to about 100 feet and the map started show the drone moving much faster toward me. \u00a0It was not long until I could here that sweet whine of the props and by then I could see her on her way back, I got it landed safely and breathed a sigh of release.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I \u00a0think I deserve a pay off!!!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Blessings,<\/p>\n
