It was dead calm on the lake I live on and I've been itching to get some aerials of some canoeing on the water, so I got my daughter and her friend to go for a paddle while I did some video. I thought they'd stay close to shore but by the time I got set up and the P4 had warmed up they were well on their way to the island about 1.6 km's out. I took a deep breath and sent it out after them, keeping the P4 about 6' off the water till I got to them. I was expecting the VPS to give me errors as it had once before when I was over water, but it was fine this time.
The adrenaline was pumping the whole time but spent the entire battery time out there and got some great shots. I'm still thinking about fashioning some floats for it somehow, but in any case the lake will be frozen in a couple of weeks and I won't have to worry about it till April or May.
Anyway, here is the video, it's a little longish but I wanted to keep the long approach & depart shots in, so grab a beverage and enjoy the ride.
