    8:30 Capt. Paul gave a (in his way of being stern) hard command. Telling Steve to do his per drone planning. I worked on a boat with Captain Paul’s style of command. That was 35 years ago, when I was 17. Worked on that boat for 5 years. That Captain is still one of my best most respected friends.
    Keep the great videos coming Steve. There all great. And I watch them all.
    Keep Safe and Well, Loon Crew.

    Good work Steve not dropping it in the water, but like the Capt said, research your flight zones. You are close to the airport, so you’ll always have that authorization zone. And DJI’s map does not always match the US FAA flight restrictions. For instance that whole area around Charlotte Amalie requires LAAANC authorization (maybe you did). I know we all want to get the shot, but if folks don’t start playing by the rules it’s only going to make the regulations that much worse, and we’ll probably end up loosing access to these amazing places to fly.

    What happened to the girls in this episode? Were they confined to barracks for bad behavior? They always make for entertaining content. Please bring them back ASAP.

    Hi Captain Paul, how is it possible to avoid collisions with whales, containers or any debris?
    Is it dangerous?
    Could that damage a yacht and sink it?
