I am flattered by your remark regarding my Welsh language skills. Alas, I must confess, I used Google Translator which should get all the credit! I have also been praised (undeservedly) for my prowess in Greek and some Asian and Eastern-European languages. I confess I am an English-only...

I just returned from a snorkeling/droning trip to Australia and Fiji. On the island we stayed on in Fiji, they use a Mavic 3 to scout Manta Rays in order to direct the snorkeling boats to the best locations to view the beautiful giants. It rains a lot there, even in the "dry" season. The...
