Best weekend ever!!!

We had our first guests! My brother in law and his girlfriend spent the night with us in the boat. Brian (bald guy) taught my 4 year old little girl to fish and she actually caught her first fish! She and Brian were the only two to catch anything, but we all still had a blast. It was the perfect weekend. Weather was great, awesome anchorage (thanks to recommendations from people here) and the boat performed perfectly. Not a single problem.

Talk about making some pretty awesome memories...

Here’s a quick video I threw together from this weekend.

Thanks to everyone here who made it possible.

Very nice.

Which drone do you have and did you use the follow-me/circle feature or just manually control it?

Thanks guys.

The drone is a DJI Mavic Air. It’s the most amazing piece of technology I own. It’s amazing how small it is, yet how well it flies.

That was just me flying it manually. There’s a mode that’ll smooth out my inputs to make the flying even smoother which I’ll try out next time. Also I want to get some video editing software so I can do color correction. Those shots were straight off the drone with no editing.
