Laser Sailors

Hanu and Tommy invited me to Red Brook Harbor in Cataumet to watch them and their friends race Laser sailboats.  I was in the "Committee Boat," which was piloted by a man named Jay. There was a small area in the front of the boat from where I was able to launch my drone.  I've never flown the drone out of a boat before so I was a little bit nervous, but it went well, except for the time when I was hovering the drone low and a sail boat came up from behind me and almost took it out.  I guess you'd call that a "near-miss" but it was more like a "near-hit."

It was a really fun day and I have thousands of photographs and video clips to comb through looking for some good shots.  I mostly shot video with the drone but I did remember to capture a few still images, like this one.  I think all of the sailors are in this picture.
