I caught them racing.....

But they were no match for the Mini 3 Pro.   The boat in front was a new launch yesterday lunch time,   so it may appear in furture shots.





Taken with Mini 3 Pro.

Masterfully captured DA.    Obviously they were not in a No Wake zone.  Good to see the Mini 3 Pro had zero issues keeping up with them.  

Nice shot.

Were you flying the M3P like: "...this is a RACE! THIS IS A RACE! I'm gonna WIN!" XD

Nice one...

I think thats fair to say for sure.   It was quite busy with boat activity yesterday,   and some really large boats going back into the water.  And even one coming out.

No but this sign should give a clue.

It wasnt much of a race for me,  I didnt even need to engage sports mode.

Nice one...

Cheers Depp.

  I know that sign well.  So both were speeders for sure.

I hope these speed merchants give the Suppers a wide berth.

So your thoughts were more in line of: "Like taking candy from a baby, no match for me!"

And many many more yesterday,  although as soon as the drone was up they all disappeared on me,  and came back out once I called it a day due to another oyster catcher run it.

They seem to,  although the Coastguard was there yesterday with the binoculars monitoring the area,   not sure what for though.    Although I did catch them mention something about a disease in the water.

Possibly algae?  The blue/green stuff is harmful I think

Yep,  very much so.

Could be,  there was a mysterious out break in Essex waters a few years ago that was never solved,  but I only heard a fraction of the discussion.

Something to keep an ear out for.

Seems there will always be speeders on both water and land.  Seems the birds are still trying to spoil your flying day, especially the oyster catchers.

Blériot53 Posted at 5-21 02:47

Yes. and the toes out of the water.

Wouldn't want to catch anything nasty. But it doesn't seemn to deter the SUPpers.

I had a quick flight in a spot that’s been troublesome lately and I got away un molested for a change.  But there was a lot of boat activity which may have scared them off.

Lots of sups and canoes the last few days,  weather, tides and weekend times have aligned well for them.

We've had beautiful weather here today - tow flights of the Dawn Patrol. Then out for the day. We got back just as thunderclouds were rolling over the hills towards us. Safely home and no rain yet.

I suppose that is one way to get rid of some of the birds.  Also provides a few more targets of opportunity for you to film.  

That must have been fun (for them)

Nice capture btw.

We had a little trip out too,  the forecast was set to be a really lovely day unfortunately it was a sold 35mph wind all day,  until we got home.   Luckily I took the M2P

Better equiiped to battle the winds than the Mini3Pro, certainly.

It was still complaining a lot about attitude and wind.    So I didnt use my luck.   At least the sun was shining

You're welcome!

We've had five consecutive days of mainly dry and sunny weather here

Same here,   although the wind has been at best pesky at times.     Hospital appointment again today so we'll probably just go and see how the goslings are doing at the lake.    And if the weather holds Id like a little flight at high tide later.
