This is awesome, my family and I just left Marathon. I counted 4 macs including what I think was you leaving on US1 as we were coming in Friday.

I gotta bring my Mac down here. I can't get over how easy accessing the big water is. There aren't the white knuckle inlets like we regularly get in NC.

Ty for the words of encouragement....ever since I went to the keys I've always loved it ...lately we've steered more towards the upper middle keys and this was our first attempt at bully netting lobster ...we caught our limit in under 2 hours in our inflatable dinghy lol.... I'm sure it was quite a site for the other people out in their regular sized flats boats and flounder gigging boats to see us in our 10 foot inflatable dinghy out in the water at midnight bully netting lol we had the smallest boat out there but our lights put most others to shame ...it looked like the mothership from ET landed in the water and shut everyone up real quick once they seen our lights turn on lol.....tons of fun and super easy to catch limit on lobster if you've never done it

whgoffrn - may I ask how you retrieve the drone while you are sailing the boat? I was going to buy the Mavic but some told me retrieving the machine from a moving sailboat with the mast in the air was very difficult.

What kind of rig did you use ?
