I use sailing in quotes because it was an absolute DEAD night on Lake Michigan. Which was probably best since it was my first time launching the quadcopter from the deck. I'm planning on making some more exciting videos now that I've worked the kinks out of launch and retrieval. :)

Here's another video I took the next day while out on a stink boat with friends. This was the first time I've tracked a moving object at 30+mph.
