Very nice!

I am sure however you did that is easier than the old days. My first animation, I manually reset sun position 100 times just to do a sunrise, then pasted frames into moviemaker. Then I found out about camera path editor and learned how to use Terragen scripter, way back when. Frend frend frend, lol

Nice. One remark; I hope you are not using transparent water? You won't see depth while speeding along and it takes longer to render each frame. If you need the suggestion of seeing underwater, you can always add the terrain colors to a color input of a surface layer (as a basis to the lake), and add a reflective shader as child of that. And some waves by using a no color PF added to the same child input.
You get something like this:
