Also on Oak Island that same week. Story ended well with the sailor able to get his boat back out to sea.

Of course. So does a comb & paper.Do a Kazoo and a Mouth Harp count?
It really is pretty easy. RTFM to start. Dial in your sail trim for ~40 deg off the wind. Dial in the windvane per the instructions. Put the windvane in control. You will quickly figure out the issues...too much slack in the control lines, bad position on the tiller for the control lines, need to tweak the windvane to wind angle slightly, need to balance the sails better..... If you have a tiller do not install the jam cleats before playing around with control line position on the tiller. That's pretty much the biggest thing for my boat. Everything else was fairly obvious after reading through the manual and watching a couple YouTube "university" videos. Sure I used a Monitor on a friend's Nor'Sea 27 years ago, but most of those brain cells have rotted since then.Phil, once you get it dialed in, I want to learn your secrets.
Hopeful I'll install mine this year.
It looks like it makes dulcet tones, to me.Does this little device fit our definition of a musical instrument aboard? I have one and use it occasionally.
