Leisure Time Activities

What do you do in your leisure time?
Please don't say trading:D
For the last couple of years trying to design a novel collapsible fishing kontiki.
The secret is needs to be: light, transportable, compact, cheap, wind powered.
It needs to be so it's then easy to transport to remote beach locations easily.
I've got it sussed now I think, nearly completed the build. (About my 6th prototype now).
I just work on this project slowly, usually weekends couple of hours, most time is spent thinking about it.
It takes a fishing line offshore, as far as your fishing line is long, includes a berley container.
Will work in winds anywhere up to about 270 deg angles. Wont work if direct onshore wind, but I have another idea for that problem, haven't built it yet.
Can also launch from a boat if you wish to fish close to dangerous reefs.
Can't sail it thru surf as surf will smash it.
I have other types which work in streams or rivers, they operate differently in design.
They can take your line anywhere across a river.
I could build a surf version, it would be different design again, just I don't have surf where I fish.

Have you tried using a drone to drop the line way out in the surf? I haven't seen it in person, but I have heard of people doing that.
Ya, began building two DJI F450 drones at home but bought some electronics which were problematic and that project sits unfinished.
Then I was given free a near new DJI Phantom which I returned, too worried it would be lost in the drink.
Too expensive a toy for a drone learner driver to play with. :)
I've been told theres a guy local here somewhere who does fishing safari tours using drones.
 
You forgot to say what you do :)

I watch too many movies and I have taken up forging blades. To be fair, I did not even know about Forged in Fire the show before I bought the workshop.
These days I am trying not to use mobile phone in my free time. So trying different things like cooking and rugby.
