Finally we are ready to head out and test some of the new boat systems.
 |
| Daryl sets about removing the cheap air conditioning unit that has been running 24/7 since we arrived here, keeping us cool. We did not want to run the expensive boat unit for so long, and $400 at Home Depot was a great alternative. |
 |
| Heading down the New River early in the morning with the sun rising in front of us. So good to be moving. |
 |
| Breakfast cereal at sea |
 |
| We are sailing! At last the white things are up and we have a lovely sail down to Key Biscayne. |
 |
| Calibrating the auto pilot needed a lot of space and circling around the large bay in the Keys was a great spot for it. So, most of the systems worked fine. The rig will need some tuning after this first sail and there are a couple of glitches that need to be sorted out. Back to base at the noisy Lauderdale Marine Centre again after a wonderful quiet few days at anchor. |
