It Starts Today

Took her out for a test drive tonight. Autopilot no joy. I would love to spend some time troubleshooting it but sadly the string has run out and we need to leave the boat tomorrow and get back to MN. Lots of anxiety about just walking away and leaving her for a month but so be it.

I'll come back and finish these projects once I have a better idea what our outlook for leaving is.

I did snap a couple ER pics before we hit the trail this morning, since I promised them earlier.

It was actually a fairly smart solution the way they did it. It was incorporated into the dinette and only took up a small amount of space. There was one recently listed on YW....PNW boat as you would imagine. During this search I found 4(maybe 5) boats for sale with lower helms. All on the W. Coast and two in the PNW. So not as rare as one would think...although rare outside of the west coast.

Edit for a link that I found...this boat also has the 450C....what a treat!!!:

Thx Baker,
That's a really nice boat!
