After waiting four or five minutes with a drone in the air, I abandoned hope and packed up my gear.  Walking back toward the road, only then did I see the red disc had risen through the haze.

That&#8217;s challenging because arriving at a location before sunrise implies effort to get up early enough to travel to my intended location.  In this particular case, I had to travel by bicycle &#8230; before dawn.  Because getting a car onto the island is a bit difficult, I left my car on the mainland.
