Yes, auto pilot is working. The book that comes with doesn't exactly match what the various screens are doing but I worked that out with the Raymarine man telephonically. Still need to do the sea trials to calibrate compass and we need some calm conditions and flat water for that. So. . .
Plan 147: We'll wait for the Wednesday/Thursday tropical wave to swing through and head out Friday. Hopefully it will be calm sometime or later on Thursday for sea trials for auto pilot. OR, we can perform that calibration on our way on Friday. We'll make Bequia Friday. Stay there Saturday and then make St. Lucia on Sunday. Now we'll take a hard look at the weather and see if we can make the long run to St. Somewhere (Croix, Thomas, John, or even Puerto Rico). Or if something very nasty is coming across the Atlantic we can make a 2 day run back to Grenada.
Not much left to do on the boat until Thursday. . .

yay! autopilot! what about the bahamas ;)
Glad to hear that sailing is in the near future, I thought $5000 sounded like a lot for a anchor, even if it was marine grade.
