Sandbanks Provincial Park


This is why we go.  It was so nice.  A bit windy and the water was a bit cold compared to the last time we were there.  It was still nice to get out and go.  Spend a day on a nice beach relaxing with friends.  I got to fly my drone again. It was very windy the whole day.   The gimbal had a hard time stabilizing.  After my recent experience with the DJI Spark, I didn't want to do anything in mid flight with it.

Just got back from Sandbanks

Just got back from Sandbanks Provincial Park just now.  Minor heat stroke but doing ok.  Got to fly the drone today a few times but it was so windy, the gimbal had a hard time tracking anything video wise so I did more photography than footage.  I didn't fly far as I'm still testing the new DJI Spark after the last incident.  I don't want to lose it again.

I'm just charging up the batteries on the drone right now.  Not doing much tomorrow so I may fly the drone again tomorrow and get more footage.  As for right now, it's hard to keep the eyes closed.  So time for bed since we've been up since 4:30am this morning.

Off to Sandbanks PP

Off to Sandbanks Provincial Park.  Everything is ready.  Drone batteries are charged.  Drone is ready.  Cameras are ready.  Batteries are charged.  When we get there, I'm gonna be sleeping for a few hours.  I did not get any sleep last night.

Back to flying

I just want to thank a friend who saw my struggles with DJI and their lousy customer service and offer of a 30% discount on a new DJI Spark.  My friend knew I was in between contracts and photography and doing footage work helped me out in rough times.  Lets just say I'll be back to flying a new drone tomorrow when my girlfriend and I are going to Sandbanks Provincial Park near Kingston, Ontario again.

I start a new job Monday with Global Affairs Canada so this weekend is going to be fun.  My girlfriend and I always have fun at Sandbanks.  It's like going to the Dominican Republic.  The sand and water are so nice.  The breach is fantastic.  So is the company.

Will be heading to...

...Sandbanks Provincial Park near Kingston, Ontario this weekend.  I will be taking the drone and cameras.  Hopefully the weather will co-operate and my back will be ok.  The last time we went, my back pretty much spasmed out and we had to go to the hospital for the back pain.  I could not sleep on my back and it was really uncomfortable.  Luckily we went to the chiropractor and my back seems to be ok.

On a side note, Google in its infinite wisdom does not support the blogger app in the Apple app store.  So I'm looking for a blogging IOS app which is cheap and good.  Let me know in the comments section please.   Thanks everyone and have a good weekend.  Especially the long weekend here in Ontario.
