We had an incredibly early ice-out on Lake Simcoe this year and I wanted to get some views of the rapidly departing ice before it was completely gone for the Spring/24 season.

Overhead drone shots taken with my new DJI Mavic Mini 3 ( full intro video here;    • My Replacement Mavic Mini 3 Drone   ), the location being the south-east portion of Lake Simcoe, with Thorah Island seen to the west.

We purchased our lovely Sea Ray 370 Sundancer Sight Unseen! To see our entire journey, please check out my 'Buying A Boat - The Good, Bad & Ugly' playlist here:    • Buying A Boat - Sea Ray Sundancer - T...
