We took a walk along the beach,  5miles total very windy and no tide in,    but the kite surfers had walked out 2 miles to be in the channel so they could practice.     Another place you wont catch me in the winter.

Very interesting capture DA.    Even with that legless and sleveless wet suit he has to be freezing.  I bet he had a few hot toddies before heading out there.

It must be a couple of muddy miles too, to get to the water. Rather them  than me.

We got up to 57.2f which was warm for us,    back to string winds forecast today,   by lunch time it should hit 67mph.

Most of it is sand flats along that stretch,  but there are also come causeways complete with bridges over the mini creeks.   As a kid we used to cycle down there and then follow the causeway all the way to the shipping channel and watch the ships.   One time we found there was a rowboat tied up out there and we could have rowed the 50ft to the Kent side.   But thought better of it luckily as we could easily have been stuck there.

Or even swept out to sea on the outgoing tide

At 13 that didnt really cross our minds.

Very nice shot!

At least you had the sense not to try it

You're welcome!

I saw your post with the shot of the UAV forecast.  That's some strong wind gusts. Definitely a stay inside kind of day.

I need to carry a load of stuff to the end shed later,  it gets tricky with the wind catching the door.  I may do that first before it gets any worse.

Sounds like a good plan, especially before winds pick up more.

Worst bit as expected was neogationing the door,  a joke for three hands really.    Still no flying although the wind has dropped to 51mph.

Still too much to fly the drones safely.

I managed a quick up and down in that speed this morning but kept it short so I didn’t condemn the m2p to the mud.

Don't want to give the M2P a mud bath for sure.  

Nice shot!

Had a short one this morning as the winds had dropped into the low 40's.

thanks enikdem.

No,   Mines in far too good of condition for that.

Nice, so you were able to sneak in a quick flight.  Of course the M2P can handle the winds a bit better than the Mini 2.

DAFlys Posted at 3-14 00:31

I be it is in pristine condition.  Speaking of M2P I just saw another one for sale but at the price the guy was asking I doubt he will sale it.

They seem to be selling here for around £700 for a used fly more combo.    not sure how that compares to US prices.

I did indeed.   Although go4 flight syncing is very painful at the moment for some reason.

Around £1025 here for a used fly more combo.

I wonder if the upcoming Inspire 3 will stay on the Go 4 App?  I don't think DJI will use the Fly App for it but I guess you never know.

If I was a betting man,  either Fly v2 will come out or a dedicated new app for it.

Jeez,  thats nearly what it cost new.

Will be interesting to see which App DJI does go with.

It sure is and probably why he and the others selling at the same price aren't going to get buyers.

Did you see the Philip Bloom video where he talks about all the new features coming to the Mini 3p. Im beginning to wonder if that will be Flay app 2 at this point.

The last video of his I watched was about 3 weeks ago but it was mostly about the Mavic 3 and ran over 30 minutes.

It was this one.  DJI finally gave him permission to make it.
