First Mate
My autopilot is my first mate. When I told her the price of an autopilot she said that she would be happy to drive then I get tired, if I would give her the price of the autopilot. She doesn't draw much current, and she is fairly responsive, except in a heavy chop. I think I will try her out on a looong trip to test her endurance. Maybe she'll let me invest in the electronic type after that.
