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.

I’m flying to the mainland for a conference on aging with the International Academic Forum But when I return to Amami, something special is happening. A 92-year-old woman named Chiharu, who still plays golf and tennis, is coming to sail on my boat. She is the mother of one of my best friends, Mitsu. She is coming with her kids and grandkids. Usually I travel to meet super-agers. This time… one is coming to me. — Lowell Sheppard is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and author of Longevity and the Art of Community: Lessons from Japan.
