🌊 Last night, the wind picked up and shifted direction, so we switched to a wing-on-wing setup—but then snap—our first pole broke! Luckily, we have a second one, and since then, we’ve been making great progress at around 7.5 knots in 20-30 knots of wind. The best part? Dolphins every single day! And thanks to Frankie’s amazing cooking, we’re eating well too. The crew is getting used to the shifts and the confused seas—spirits are high out here! #sailing #oceanlife #adventure #atlanticcrossing #atlantic

A volta do @goleta.gringo_1886 é uma recordação do grande esforço que os antepassados de muitos fizeram para chegar ao continente americano #veleiros #imigrantes #imigracaoitaliana #shorts

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.
