Fishing in the boat yesterday morning 0800 fifty yards off some rocks on Marblehead Neck, I heard a buzzing sound.... It was a quad copter drone hovering about 150-200' above me! Once I realized what it was, I grabbed the binocs and searched the shore for the operator. Saw no one. The thing took off at high speed along the shore for about a mile and a half until I lost sight of it. Surprised at the range it had. Was wondering if it was security for the 4th, or a private operator. Either way, it was a first for me.
