I was out the other day flying from a boat. It was a little different as when we landed we had to do a hand catch from a rocking boat.
On my second battery I went up to the max altitude of 400 feet to get a picture of the boat and the surroundings. When I got up there my remote told me "high winds to land" and the circle showed the blue area to be almost straight up and down. I also saw my props in the picture. I looked at my alt and noticed that I was no longer at 400 feet but 350 feet and coming down. I pushed return to home and my drone recovered somewhere in the 200 foot range. I think I got hit by some gusty winds off the side of the hills around the lake.
