Very nice shot DA.    If you are going to mess about it might as well be around the river as you never know what photo op could present itself.

Ive seen this lad a few times,  he was playing under the bridge the other day and gave me a thumbs up,   not sure why.   I was out of batteries at that point so couldn't send in the drone.

I can't see a steering wheel either
You can see the tiller on the side of the engine, but he's not holding that.
Maybe he has a string attached, that doesn't show up in the pic?

Nice top down

Dang, that's a shame that the battery ran out just at that time.

He seemed to steer it by just shifting his weight about in it.

In such a small craft, that could work.

Yes,  Im trying to save the last battery now just in case something pops up interesting.

If not he's doing it by magic.

Maybe he graduated from Hogwarts

Oddly with the nice weather I half expected to see him out again but there was no sign,  lots of paddle boards and canoes though.

We saw a swimmer in Cemaes Bay yesterday. He had a wetsuit on but the water must have been freezing

So did we
But I got a decent shot of the boats up the creek.

DAFlys Posted at 3-15 23:14
thank you DJI Paladin.

Always my pleasure, DA! Happy flying always.

Good planning.  Nice to be able to have a battery in reserve.

And I bet there were no wrecks to be seen.

It bit me the other day though,  I saved the battery for later and then nothing happened,   Id have been better to use it to capture the paddle boarders.

Well, you know what they say.  Hindsight is always 20/20.

Not a one
Back home now. Lovely weather for the drive back, but very windy again.

Hopefully the other drives were better behaved than my outing yesterday,  soon real loonies out there these days.

Not a single incident, the whole way. Just a steady build-up of traffic after we passed the airport, then queues to get the last 5 miles home.

Perhaps I just need more batteries.

There were 7 miles of queues for Southend beach here yesterday,  lucky it didnt get in my way as I went over the top of it.

Outstanding!

Better buy some while they are still available.  I'm still seeing a few used M2Ps for sale.  Maybe DJI will continue to market the M2P batteries since so many of them are still in existence.  

Blériot53 Posted at 3-20 01:09

Happens every weekend the sun comes out.  If I go on days like that I walk.

All the reputable places here are out of stock of the battery.

It was the first time we'd experienced that volume of traffic since we came back to the UK.

Yikes, that's not good.

I guess you've not made many trips since you came back then.

This trip to Anglesey was the first long-distance one.
