When Everything Aligns: Sea Dips, Drones, and Perfect Weather 🌟

Weather: 14Β°C, 3 mph wind (gusting to 8 mph), sunny with light cloud cover

Some days, the universe seems to orchestrate everything perfectly. Today was one of those magical days when all the pieces fell into place.

Morning Motivation πŸŒ…

The day began with an incredibly productive and engaging session with my ADHD Life Coach Linda Fox. Following this energising start, I continued my newfound ritual of a morning sea dip (three days and counting! ☺️).

Tech Meets Nature 🚁

The main task for today was reviewing three autonomous lightweight camera drones:

HOVERAir X1 PROMAX in 4K Orbit Mode

The conditions couldn’t have been more perfect for drone testing. Imagine having miles of pristine white sandy beach entirely to yourself, with barely a whisper of wind and gorgeous sunshine softened by gentle cloud cover.

An Unexpected Twist πŸŽ₯

After depleting all the drone batteries and heading back to review the footage, I received an exciting surprise: the HOVERAir X1 PROMAX had received a software update enabling 8K recording across all autonomous modes! 🀯

Typically, such news might trigger frustration (🀬) – after all, it meant reshooting footage for a fair comparison. But something was different today.

Instead of feeling annoyed about the delayed review, I found myself smiling at the prospect of returning to the beach and soaking in more of this glorious weather.

Afternoon Beach “Crowds” πŸ˜„

Would the afternoon beach be as secluded as the morning? Not quite! It was absolutely packed – with two whole people and one dog! I jest, of course.

When the tide is out, Bannow Beach stretches for miles, offering plenty of space for everyone.
Wide sandy beach at sunset with scattered clouds, calm waves, and the sun low on the horizon.
Though it’s worth noting: always be mindful of the tides here, as they can come in surprisingly quickly.

Sunset Serenity ✨

Even after depleting the drone batteries again, I couldn’t bring myself to leave. The allure of the fresh sea air and the promise of a stunning sunset kept me rooted to the spot.

Watching the sun slowly descend toward the horizon πŸŒ…, I couldn’t help but reflect:

How lucky am I to be here!


These are the moments that make Our Eco Journey so special – when work, wellness, and nature combine in perfect harmony. From morning dips to drone flights, every element of today reminded me of the privilege of calling this beautiful coastline home. 🌊✨

Safety Note: Always check tide times and conditions before visiting Bannow Beach, as tides can change rapidly.
