It seems that you suddenly veered ESE and will be passing south of the Falklands instead. Is it the wind or are you seeking assistance for the auto-pilot? It's no big deal either way but I'd feel a lot better knowing your primary auto-pilot is operational. I think a lot of others would too.DJmckaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578399656308603032.post-67979263429820535302010-04-05T03:04:21.778-07:002010-04-05T03:04:21.778-07:00Abby and Support: What's happening?

I hope you’re keeping up your positive attitude and keeping a smile on your face, as much as possible. You’re doing great, and I hope you get into the warmer climate real soon. <br />Enjoy the Easter sunrise on the Ocean, not everybody gets to see something as spectacular as that.<br />Take care and stay alert.<br /><br />May God hold you in the palm of His hand and may the Angels keep your sails full, and I, I will be praying for you.<br />Your faithful friend, fan and follower. <br />Michael (75) from Kingwood, WVhezakiah299https://www.blogger.com/profile/13831171696178539958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578399656308603032.post-59341882945380258872010-04-03T19:29:40.349-07:002010-04-03T19:29:40.349-07:00Forget the pics and video, fix the primary autopil...Forget the pics and video, fix the primary autopilot.

The nonstop/unassisted challenge continues.<br /><br />If not: Will you really be down to just the current backup autopilot already in use, and nothing to do but steer by hand if that goes out?<br /><br />If that's the case, seems like the Falklands would be a good place to make a pit stop to get the 2nd autopilot ready to go -- before continuing onward across the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific oceans.<br /><br />- Grant Fjermedal, SeattleGrant Fjermedalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578399656308603032.post-30957283712458302802010-04-03T18:50:40.474-07:002010-04-03T18:50:40.474-07:00Hi Abby(and Team Abby).
