Lightbulb .... using a drone?

How's this for a suggestion? How's 'bout the Marine Patrol uses a photo drone to go take a 'look see' at aqua-therm, open water ice-eater complaints as a way to check out what can be a remote, waterfront, Quasimodo location.

Besides using a regular car or suv, ski-doo, hovercraft, helicopter, or a dry suit with ice grippers, ski poles and pfd for walking across shallow open water and ice...... maybe a drone is the better way to go for getting around the lake's irregular icy shoreline in the lakes region during the ice-in months..... including Lakes Winnipesaukee, Squam, Winnisquam, Newfound, Wentworth, Ossipee, and others.

Trying to determine what is open water, and what is ice, as seen from an altitude of 300' may actually be a very good 'bird's eye view' for looking at ice, open water and the splish-splash, that's going on.

"Hey there, Marine Patrol ......my neighbor down here just has too much splish-splash going on, and I was wondering if you all could come on by, and check it all out."

....... send in the drone ...... to investigate that too much splish-splash ....... a-yuh!!!
