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.

A short and sweet little clip of some of the go pro footage we captured at the poor knights marine reserve in NZ this week. We have taken some time off video editing lately to concentrate on boat maintenance, work to save some pennies and take a little break to enjoy NZ without cameras. However this was just too special not to share. Being able to access unique places that you can only get to by water is part of what makes the Roam adventure so special. We had the pleasure of taking our new Crew members Sam and Estelle, to the poor knights Islands marine reserve where we anchored over night and were lucky to have some nice conditions for a spot of free diving. A very different experience to the snorkeling scenery in the tropics with cold water fish species, soft corals and kelps. The abundance of sea life in these protected waters is something really special. It clearly shows what the oceans would be like without human impact. Hope you enjoy - Liss
