The calm and the storm(s) | Ep90
Malta is a fascinating place to sail around and we’ve had a fantastic time here in the last month. We’ve also had some challenging weather, this has not been a typical May! But we do get the feeling now that summer is finally here and we can swim and enjoy warm evenings exploring.
We have also had a few flights with the Swell Pro splash drone 4 (I called it the SD3 in the video, but it’s actually a SD4) So far so good, I’m managing to get some excellent footage from the drone and it’s design has certainly vastly improved from the original version I bought years ago. There will be a full test coming soon.
