Well there’s not a whole lot to add to today. The wind came back so we’ve been going faster, yesterday’s 163 mile day will hopefully be a thing of the past.
Today I spoke with the manufacturer of our autopilot drive unit and the prognosis isn’t good. The hydraulic pump has failed for some reason and there is no reasonable way we have to fix it in the field.
So we’re carrying hand steering and getting settle into the new watch schedule. So far all is well.
