A little video I did in Lake Powell, near the Bullfrog Marina.

I must say, it was more difficult landing on the boat than I initially thought with obstacle avoidance turned on.
It was a bit unnerving at first, but I got used to taking off and manually landing on a platform 2' by 2'. And obviously, return to home doesn't work when the boat is constantly floating, even when anchored.

Anyways, hope you enjoy this little video of Lake Powell.

 
Good video...You should have played the Planet of the Apes OST..as the shuttle crash from the movie was filmed there!

**** of a place for a flyaway. Great Video! Looks like the water levels up from the last couple of years. Did you hand launch?

I took off from a platform of about 2 feet by 2 feet. I hand caught once, but it kept trying to fly away from me when I did hand catch it. Had to sneak up on it, sort of like catching a dragonfly.

I simply took manual control of landing, since the boat was always moving.
