Just found this. Drone looking over Carlyle lake with a 'fish eye' lens.

seems odd that it looks liked it actually scares a sail boat away, but I doubt that's the case. But the lake is way larger than the video makes it look..

The drone may have been harassing the sailboat a bit but not chasing. These pictures make me want to get a drone and a Hero camera. Bet I could launch it off my Legend boat for aerial recon.

The multirotors are very easy to fly. You could take it off from the palm of your
hand, even the big ones. Landing it on the boat wouldn't be hard either. The
multirotor pilots in the club here use a box with an 'H' on it as their landing pads.
Usually the box is only about one foot square.

If you were really worried, a couple empty plastic drink bottles wire tied to the
supports would keep it nice and dry. Or, get something like this:
