Wow thanks for sharing. This would be a odd situation! I am hopeful you will find a way.
Perhaps offer a person with a boat some cash or some cool videos to go get it for you? Maybe the Coast Guard helpful? (not sure what they call coastal services there.)

Bright side: Your drone is not under the water and you made a smart decision to land on dry land. Good job!

I agree, it probably was the best decision to land it in a safe place. You will certainly find someone with a boat for the recovery. Some very good proposals have been made here above.

A good reminder for everyone to check all their settings after every FW update.   There has to be a boat, canoe, kayak, or something you can rent or hire to get to that island.

Having had a 'closer' look with Google Earth, it looks like there's a golf course over on the other part of this island - so you can get pretty close just by road. The problem area is that part where your drone has landed is on the other side of a swampy area - so you may need to be careful trying to get across that. The other option is a boat with an outboard motor and get to that side of the island via the river ... but that will be a longer route as directly across the river is an industrial area.

The best way to find your drone? Get off the computer and start hiking. Good luck.

hellllooooo everyone.

Thanks a lot for your messages. I needed to take a quickly decision because if after few meter my drone go down on water, it was finished forever lol The golf course was my second option but not easy way. This morning, I drove in the Marina boat more in the north and I found a lovely guy that he take away me on the coordinated GPS. And surprise, my drone was there

And YES, checked all settings after every firmware update !

One time in my life but never two !
