Re: Wristwatches suitable for sailing, celestial navigation, anc scuba diving

Re: Which % of saving would you spend for your cat

Re: Bahamas drones

I'd check Ebay for used DJI drones. They just came out with a new model so lots of people are upgrading. I've seeen $900 combo's up for ~$450 sometimes lately.
