I was flying over Seneca Lake, Watkins Glen, NY, videoing debris washed into the lake by a recent heavy rain. The lake was like a piece of glass! Beautiful cloud reflections and some low lying fog. Wanted to get low to go under some fog and fly to shore to see my friend's dock. Looked at the altimeter, 28 feet. Looked back at the screen and WATER!! It push the UP toggle so hard I thought I snapped it off! Looked out in the water and screamed ( ( Mod Removed Language )Looked back at the screen, black! Nothing! Set the controller on the hood of the truck and just shut my eyes thinking, "you idiot! It's gone!" For at least a minute I stood there. Shaking my head, I started to put the controller in the truck. Opened the door and then thought, "push the return home button". I set the controller on the seat and went to the front of the truck and leaned on the hood, thinking what am I going to do about getting another drone. About 30 seconds later, I hear the familiar noise of a drone! NO WAY!! It landed and I picked it up, soaking wet! Took it home, blew it out with air and set it in the sun. Took the lens cap off, it was steamed up. Then I took the card out and to my surprise the entire video was recorded! Later that day I fired up the drone. Turned Litchi on and there was the drone! Took off for a test flight and I am back!! I still don't believe it, but I have the video
