Ep. 33 - Autopilot Troubleshoot, Companionway Wood Staining, WWII Vehicle Display and Howitzer Fire

4 years ago

Our Autopilot (Autohelm) went out back in February when Full Send made the mona passage crossing from Puerto Rico to The Dominican Republic. Not knowing a thing about the device, and only finding one youtube video that had some idea of what goes on in there, we took it out, opened it up, and diagnosed the problem to a screw coming loose and getting caught in the plastic planetary gears.

We also begin other smaller projects like staining the wood on the outside of the companionway, and across the road from our marina the North Florida Military Museum hosted an event with vehicle and howitzer displays from WWII. We were unaware it was going on until we heard the sound of tank and artillery fire (both branches we served in), and had to check it out!
