Thanks Ezsteps! I think my main motivation for these videos is to help make it through the winter. Yeah, I would love to own a cottage on the Middle Channel/Fisher Hwy (the cottage in the video is a friends). It's a great area to boat. If you ever see me out there, feel free to swing by...
Thanks magstang1. I read your posts on LSCN. Nice Mainship! Feel free to swing by if you ever see me out on the lake. I always (well most of the time) have some beer on board.
Thanks Jim! The drone is a Phantom 2 with a GoPro 3+. Back when I bought it, it was kind of expensive. But, I bet you can get great deals on them now. If you are looking for one of the best drones on the market now, I would look at the Mavic Pro. It's DJI's latest drone.
I believe that is back in Fisher Bay. The lakes levels have been up the past couple of years so everyone now anchors in Fisher Bay. When water levels are down we usually only make it into Goose Bay.
Yep, I dinghy through those garage slips a couple of times a summer. MacRay just got new owners last year. They've been upgrading a lot of items at the marina.
Wow, so you bought her in Michigan and got her out to Washington.
Thanks guys. If I didn't enjoy making these videos some much, I would find it very difficult spending the money. But, I really enjoy every aspect of making these simple videos.
Harley Ensign is the name of the boat launch I filmed this at. I believe it's named after a former Sheriff of Macomb County, Michigan which the the county the launch is in (kind of an unusual name). The building in the video with the look out tower (kind of hard to see) is for the Macomb...
I have no idea what the docks are for. It's actually pretty difficult to see those ponds on foot. There seems to be a lot of discussion regarding the ponds in another forum. I'll let you know if any comes up a plausible explanation.
Thanks Thornton! I am using a DJI Phantom 2 with a GoPro Hero 3+. I just added an FPV (first person view). This allows me to fly the drone without having to physically see it. I can use the FPV video display to fly it.
I have a feeling Santa will be giving a lot of these away this Christmas.
Harley Ensign this morning...1080p60.
