The water was still this morning, so after doing a few jobs on Imagine we snorkelled the near reef. The clear water and plenty of fish made it an interested time. We returned to Imagine and I thought I would fly the drone over the reef. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just as I was set up a turtle popped it’s head up along side us. I quickly got the drone in the air but couldn’t find the turtle. The drone got great video as it flew over the reef. As it reached 800m away the remote control lost connection with the drone. When connection is lost the drone is supposed to return to its takeoff point. We waited, but no drone. We jumped into the dinghy to see if we could get to where it may have been and reconnect. No sign of the drone. It didn’t come home. So now we won’t have any more nice aerial shots to show you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
