Enjoyed watching the dolphions playing as they swam up the coast.

Was the lowest I've ever been on the ocean, didn't even realise until looked at logs afterwards, less than 2m from ocean, at 500m away! (towards the end of the video)
Log said height was -1.0m, I was standing in a rock next to ocean to fly not mich more than 1.5m above waves...

Thought I’d add a little record - at time of flying I was not paying attention at all to altitude, flying with goggles, enjoying dolphins up close. Bottom sensors off, so no warnings popped up. Rocks I took off from probably max 1.5m up from sea level. Seemed more like only 1m standing on rocks. Started flight about 8m up and went gradually closer.

So I guess if things look very close through a wide angle lens, they are very close!
