Very nice, thank you.

Has the North Channel (of Cobb Island silted up a lot in the last few years?)

Actually it appears to have deepened, may be the main channel in a few years. I will do a flight over it when I get a chance.

Excellent. Skillful. And useful to sailors not familiar with our withies etc.

I must admit to being somewhat scared while taking the pictures, as the drone was anything up to a 1000 metres away so only just visible. Fortunately the remote controller and display showed me where it was looking. Over water is always a bit tense, as if it crashed the drone would be lost. I had three sessions on different days to get all the pictures.

I plan to visit various creeks and inlets to take pictures or videos.

The Tollesbury ones were requested as stills, and it is easier to manage as I have to stop to change batteries to get them all. The Bradwell film I posted earlier I managed on one battery. It gave me time to fly in, taking stills and out taking Video. Best of both worlds.

Glad you enjoyed

Ian
