Great video! Did you do any research on drone laws there? My wife and I are thinking about booking an eastern Caribbean cruise later this year so I'm thinking about taking the Spark with me, would hate to have it confiscated by the local authorities.

Nice video, good matching music dub.  Looked a bit breezy, but handled well.

It was very windy.  I was impressed how well the little guy did.

Great video, but that takeoff looked really sketchy. I would hand take off next time!

Agreed.  I thought the same thing after my life flashed before my eyes.  :-)

St. Croix is only like 30 miles long and 6 miles wide, so the airport makes for a pretty decent chunk of that in terms of no-fly zone.  And, Buck Island (an absolute must-see) is a National Park, so no-fly there as well.  But, I think anywhere else is normal US laws in terms of drones.  I specifically asked the captains of the boats I've been on to make sure it was okay to fly where I was flying.
