Was coming west in Loch Ness last November on a tug that had loads of Nav gear , unfortunately it was about 30m out when compared to my IPad navionics app We ran aground in the dark!!

A modern drone has pre programed GPS which will not allow it to fly above 400' or into controlled airspace ! And for the avoidance of any misunderstanding this is CAA gospel :- The person in charge of a small unmanned surveillance aircraft must not fly the aircraft in any of the circumstances...

My friend is confident he can launch and recover his drone from the boat whilst underway, so we are going to try that next time. He can see what he is filming all the time he's flying, though I know the "professional " guys use 3 people Pilot, cameraman and a spotter ! What he used is. Phantom...

Looked at the sluice gate wheel and spindle last night , looks recently oiled, perhaps someone is attempting to get it operational again? Would be good if the did as the wee harbour is silting up again!

It's been there since 2004 , life must really have got in the way !
