I wrote a small blog post about connecting my tillerpilot to my windvane. You can check it out here http://whitespotpirates.com/how-to-connect-a-raymarine-tillerpilot-to-a-windpilot-pacific/ Anyone of you have a similar set up on your boat? My Raymarine autopilot is not strong enough for my 8.5t aluminum Reinke Super 10. That is why I decided to try out what I had read from other boat owners with the same problem: to connect my autopilot to my Windpilot Pacific to reduce the needed power for stearing. I still have to test it out on the water...but it seems to work so far. I was just wondering if it could possibily damage my windvane with this set up, that is why I wanted to ask Peter Foerthmann of http://www.windpilot.com/ for advice. Let's see what he thinks about it... Ahoy, Nike & Karl ATTENTION: this is REAL TIME ;) Just mounted that thing yesterday! I know this is all very confusing with the timing and stuff...sorry for that.

We will enter the Pedro Miguel locks in about an hour and Miraflores locks probably around two hours from now and then the massive doors will open and let Karl into the Pacific!!! There will be a live feed on my private Facebook page www.facebook.com/nike.steiger. Make sure you don't miss it! U can comment on it and if reception allows I will get back to you during the live feed! On www.facebook.com/WhiteSpotPirates you will also find some footage from the Gatun locks yesterday! Awesome? AWESOME!

Hey everyone, due to the craziness of prepping for crossing the Panama Canal and because I did not meet anyone that could deliver data to Germany, the upcoming episodes have been delayed a little. The new material is on its way now, and I hope we can be back on track soon. Sorry if anyone was worried. i thought u had seen my update about crossing the canal and knew that all was good. Ahoy, Nike & Karl
