First ride of 2024

Yukon Bob is back for another season of Seadoo videos around southern Ontario. Today we test a new drone and do an early season ride on Lake Simcoe.

Great to see you are back out on the water! The same here in the Yukon with the Montauk exploring and chasing the Lake Trout on Tagish. Cheers!

[@bobsudeyko4088]

That’s where my cabin was…Tagish. Built it with the help of some friends back in 1988. Use to love my boat trips down to Ben My Chree at the headwaters of the lake. I know those lake trout well in Tagish. Miss the Yukon all the time. Will be back next summer for my 50th grad reunion.

Nice to see you back Bob, beautiful footage especially the drone footage

[@bobsudeyko4088]

Thanks Rick

[@mrharry8466]

😁👍 All the best pal. Always have a smile on my face watching these adventures.

[@bobsudeyko4088]

Glad to hear it

[@JohnAA111]

I always like the start of the season. I ride a lot around there as our cottage is close by. Thanks for the video, especially the drone shots.

[@StefanMailey]

My trusty old Air2S tracks great over water. Ocusync 3. I think DJI is going backwards.. lol. Great vid!

[@bobsudeyko4088]

I have the air 2 s. I like it but I haven’t yet given up on the air 3.

[@jnbimages3009]

Nice work, I live on Lower buckhorn now, used to live in lagoon city and a bit of a drone nerd. You have to change your Return to home setting to the remote controller NOT the spot you took off from. Trust me. I know the feeling.

[@BTKSPENCE]

Great to have ya back, we watch your videos on the big tv, my wife and I do then I remember to come back today on my phone and like and comment cause I’m that kinda KZbin watcher..

[@bobsudeyko4088]

[@alhit007]

Well come back Bob, Hope you have a great summer on the water, it’s been slow to heat up over here in Ireland 🇮🇪,

[@bobsudeyko4088]

Thanks. Feels good to be back out there. Turned 67 today. Starting to feel it a bit.

[@alhit007]

Sure you’re only as old as the woman you feel 😂 it’s what’s keeping you young and healthy.

[@NigelHay]

Welcome to the 2024 season Bob, good to see you uploading again for 2024. Everywhere seems to of jumped in price. Port Colborne jumped $7 to.$22.70. I think Crystal Beach is still $15

[@bobsudeyko4088]

Thankyou Nigel. Good to see you out as well.

[@craigcollard5341]

BOB, THE OTHER THING I FORGOT TO TELL YOU IS THAT WHEN FLYING YOUR DRONE ON YOUR SEADOO IT MAY BE BETTER TO SWITCH YOUR RETURN TO HOME SETTINGS TO HOVER RATHER THAN RETURN TO HOME. JUST DON'T FORGET TO CHANGE IT BACK WHEN FLYING FROM A STATIONARY LOCATION. HOPE THIS HELPS. CRAIG

[@bobsudeyko4088]

I am aware of that. I could also update the RTH location. I could see it so I just canceled the RTH and landed to manually. I should have turned off the sensors and it would have come down into my hand more easily.

[@dennissorokin3872]

Wow $20 to launch is highway robbery!

[@lenhews2460]

Hello Bob I always enjoy your videos if you ever get down to the Upper Cheasapeke Bay we have some great sking areas for sure. We hit Annapolis Baltimore St Michels and a bunch more real nice stops. Len

[@bobsudeyko4088]

Thanks Len. Years ago I toured your area by M/C. Loved it.

[@MayooN]

Welcome back Bob ! Remember this one where you suck up rock few years ago and ended up here !

[@bobsudeyko4088]

I totally remember that. Expensive first ride that year.

[@aldainechia1301]

Hello Bob I’ve been a follower and been enjoying watching your videos I see you spend a lot and comments regarding launch fees especially around lake simcoe area … I have a hack for you $75 you’ll be able to launch and park fort the whole season and this includes various lakes n Ontario 😊

[@bobsudeyko4088]

Is this a parks seasonal pass???

[@briankozicki9142]

Hey Bob, another great video what an enjoyment to watch we too have a Sea-Doo and also a boat just wondering where do you get your black Canadian flag that you put on your sea-doo looked all over can’t find them keep up the good work

[@bobsudeyko4088]

Just picked it up from Amazon

[@LifeWithKernelLee]

Like the different camera angles

[@LifeWithKernelLee]

Nice drone footage

[@tridentyyz1031]

If you're ever worried about the battery not starting, Canadian Tire sells a NICO Booster which I bought for my motorcycle. It works great for cars too, and it can also be used as a power pack to charge things on the fly.

[@LifeWithKernelLee]

Ive had good luck with the Skydio 2 drone, really good at tracking esp with the beacon.

[@GMAccount1234]

Nice video bob. FYI your phone number is visible on the drone. You may want to blur it out.

[@mikehuet8412]

Thank you Bob for the great videos. We are planning on exploring more of Georgian Bay this summer on our PWC. Are you concerned about breaking down while out on the water alone and who would you call if you needed help?

[@bobsudeyko4088]

Yea I always have that in mind. There is cell service for quite a bit of Georgian Bay and I also carry a VHF radio. I keep the machine in good condition and always let someone know my plans. I also carry stuff with me in case I did get stranded. Sometimes it’s just a matter of managing the risk. There are trips that I won’t do alone.

[@stooee58]

Hey Bob great first day back in the water! We are up in Midland on Georgian Bay and plan to take our Seadoos out for some extended adventures this summer. Quick question…. Is your quad lock mount just and adhesive mount on your machine or did you actually bolt that through? Was thinking of going the adhesive route but would love your input! Thanks.

[@bobsudeyko4088]

I tried the sticky mount. Came off. I then used a ram mount and bolted it through. Watch this Saturdays video I show it more clearly. If you have anymore questions after Saturday feel free to ask.

[@craigbrady4588]

Nice video Bob for the start of 2024. I am still waiting patiently to get my machine out for the first ride. If you are open to it I would like to ride with you one day this summer if dates could line up? Until then keep up the great videos. Cheers.

[@bobsudeyko4088]

Thanks Craig. I should try and organize an open group ride one day. The problem is I always plan my trips on short notice and generally through the week. Should give it a try though

[@mikehuet8412]

Bob, a group ride sometime during the week would be great.

[@craigbrady4588]

Through the week works good for me. Just a day or two notice would help to be able to lock it down 😉

[@jayd.7452]

Bob quick question for you. With your set up can you read the depth on your seadoo console? I was told that generally you need to remove the seadoo transducer to install the gramin transducer which will allow your fish finder to find fish. Strange concept eh?

[@bobsudeyko4088]

Hi. I do not have a transducer attached to the Seadoo. I just use the depth finder on the console. Not sure if the depth finder is standard or just on the limited. That is a strange concept.

[@paulpuglia8480]

Drones have a hard time deciphering what sky and what is water
