The Raymarine autopilot is fully installed, yay! We went through the dockside calibration process today, maybe tomorrow we will be able to get out on the water and finish the calibration process. We had one hiccup today due to the fact that we are using the ram (aka the linear mechanical drive) from the Alpha 3000. For a few minutes we thought we might have damaged the ram unit, but we (Devon) got it sorted out and everything seems to be working as it should (at the dock anyway).
Welcome!
We are Devon & Rowan and this site is about our life aboard our sailboat, how we got here, and where we hope to go in the future…
We started our boating life in the Portland Oregon area with an Ericson Independence 31 before moving to the SF Bay area. In 2013 we purchased and moved aboard Casita, our Hans Christian 33. In October 2024 we finally cast off the dock lines and headed south. We are currently cruising Mexico with plans to do a Pacific crossing.
We aren’t retired and we aren’t wealthy so we will cruise until we run low on funds or low on fun and then look at our options. Please join us for this next phase of our adventures together.
