The M/V FAR WEST on the Missouri River passing St. Charles Missouri.
After searching over 10TB of stored videos I finally found this from back in April of this year is the M/V Far West. I did notice that it seems to say on the stern Jake Wes or Jake West not sure. Did not have any very good audio so this one has music which is James River by DJ Williams ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wD9TNc21GBA
Another short video with the Paige Strait hope you like it. Haven't had much time over the last 2 weeks hope to get out more soon. Also during the day temps have been so high and the Phantom 4 motors and battery compartment get so hot I worry it may damage delicate solder connections on the circuit boards inside next to the battery.

I know that I have done this boat before but I couldn't resist her as she was headed northbound and sounding good. The audio is from this boat as recorded from shore. And while in the area I thought you might enjoy a view of Fort de Chartres State Historic Site and the link for further information.

Three ARTCO Towboats The M/V Prairie Dawn, the Prosperity, and the Cooperative Venture helping each other navigate the ice on the Mississippi River at Mile Marker 230. The audio is from the 3 boats passing. Check out the flags on the boats and you know I was getting high wind warnings the whole time. Thanks for watching!

We've had a mild winter so far this season but the ice came fast with these brutal cold temps. Temp was 1 with wind chill of -10 -17C wc -23C this morning. At the very start you can briefly see on the top right 3 eagles and a large nest along with a fox on the ice at Two Branch Island. The audio is from my cell phone on shore. Thanks for watching!

The BNSF 5795 a GE ES44AC on a foggy morning a week or two ago. The drone and camera picked up some condensation during this flight causing me to end it sooner than expected.

The M/V Deana Ann headed southbound about 5 miles north of Alton Illinois. Sounds are from a different passing towboat. Volume warning @ the 2 min mark! Having a hard time picking and finding background music. The stuff I am able to use for the pace and duration of my videos is getting hard to find. Open to ideas and as always thanks for watching!

The M/V Michael Luhr is northbound Mississippi river and meets the M/V Prosperity near Ilsah Illinois. Also out in front and headed up the Illinois River is the M/V Capt. Tony Ice and I thought someone was waving from the Capt Tony Ice but it looked like he wanted me to get closer to wack the drone with a broom. LOL The audio is from these boats. Thanks for watching!
