Description

Windy day with the upper winds in a totally different direction than ground. Landed with the booster suspended in the reeds on one side of the canal and the nosecone in the brush on the other with the AV bay suspended over the water. I ended up using a pole to get the booster and camera from one thick overgrown side of the bank and then went around to the other overgrown bank to get the rest so the AV bay didn't get wet. A little water in the nosecone but nothing more than a splash on the tracker, will need to test to validate it's still functioning. That will be hard to do since I left the receiver somewhere out in the swampy wilderness, it got ripped off my belt clip some time during the recovery. I went back to look for it but couldn't locate it by sight or sound.
