It is a friend's drone and he is just getting a hang of it. Poor quality pics at this time.

Now when you post those really inviting pictures, you can sneak in some close up shots of the Bikini's on the beach without your wife knowing you are taking them.

Believe me, the other significant ones are our "control towers". They just stand besides us to "watch" our flight session.

I suspect that they'll get bored sooner rather then later...

Certainly, they get bored as soon as we start talking about taking the drone out for a flight. However, the battery lasts for about 24 to 28 minutes and they are sitting down sipping local beer by our side. Therefore, they are not going anywhere. In the second pic, and if your are able to zoom it, you can notice that the boat closest to the top of the photo is full of ladies in bikini. Nonetheless, we were prohibited to make a flyby at that zone.

Tthat is too funny.

And as one of our resident attorney's, as you know not listening will get you in trouble and that can be costly.

I'll take your word for it... Coming in on a low res picture is a waste of time...

Just tell them God gave you eyes to use and that you're only working up an appetite but are coming home for dinner...

As another option, I'll be arriving PR on Saturday... Take me along and we'll say that the overfly is for my benefit ;-)))

Hueso, LOL!

I can completely understand. yet, I am laughing hard.

Enjoy the weather, scenery, boat, and everything!!!!! Best to the family!!!!

When the little one is of age, we will have to get down there again. And remember, you are welcome here anytime! Though I recommend you wait until the snow melts. Maybe August?

To many battle scars. I feel I've never won one.

Nav:

We have spare batteries but believe it or not, it can get a little boring after half an hour. About the resolution, I believe is Photobucket that will not let us zoom in and remember, it is only 14 mpx. At what time are you arriving. My youngest girl will be playing a volleyball tournament at the West side of the island during the weekend. For how long are you planning to stay? You can reach me at abogadopr@hotmail.com or 787-810-6220.

Dug:

I have a friend in Minnesota and the photos he is sending me give me the chills, literally. If your boat is ready for August, definitely we have to plan a trip up there. I would love to see the finished job! (baby and boat). LOL

Jimmy:

My friend has not allowed me to control it. ($1,500) However, I believe it is very user friendly. Once you have it off ground and you do not move the control joysticks, it hoovers in the same place helped by an internal gps. With a bit of practice you will be flying in no time.
