Thanks — general feedback I got from others is to not climb in low battery esp over the ocean since there are greater winds.

In this case you have been extremly lucky!!!
My opinion is that all drone pilot must possess the CERTIFICATE for the drone or drones they own because they learn all ruls about safe flying etc. The knowlege help as to protect ourselves, others  and the drone.

Had us all egging you on towards the beach.
Presume higher than anticipated headwind was the problem?
