The highly touted device that was supposed to clean up the great trash island is now trash in our bay. Also beautiful Coconut Island in the back.

Nice, but I’d be careful in that area since it’s reasonably close to the end of the runway. Harbor pilots look for drones. You can see the runway in shot 3. I flew lower, and not as far toward hotel row, since tourist helicopters can fly in that area out of nowhere. Did you launch from the old parking lot just north Wainaku Executive Center? Off from Waikanu Rd, walking across the old bridge?

Yea sure I do. I only commented b/c I had a harbor pilot spot my drone once, so I went to 33mph and zig-zagged back, lol. The area near the hotels is dicey since tourists have been nailed there, obviously not flying DJI...
