Drone Sooke River Confluence
Saturday I cycled 16kkm roundtrip from the Upper Parking Lot #2 at Sooke Potholes to the end of the Galloping Goose Trail (GGT).
I carried my ebike on the car-rack and drove the 48km from Victoria to Sooke with my bike trailer and Yuneec Typhoon H hexacopter (6 props) in the back seat. My wife chose the better part and stayed home as she does not cycle.
For some time I've wanted to capture the force of the Sooke River flooding from my drone. It's really a catch-22 situation: The river floods to max when it's raining and one can't fly drones in the rain. At least, not mine. The motors and their electrical wire-windings are fully exposed to the elements so one is really taking their chances by attempting to fly in these conditions. Of course, if you have $1200 dollars and change you don't want -- go for it.
