George joined the crew yesterday, here's a nice picture! What a result! Went for a test run on my own with George, a raymarine st1000+

I know this isn't a new idea, but somewhat of a revelation for me. It can steer pretty well, tack, and doesn't seem to nail the batteries too much.

Still feel a little funny leaving the pilot on, and making a cup of tea with no one on deck. Still, good enough for Ellen McC...

Many thanks to Georges sponsor, Sheilah!

some evil f*ckers tried to blow up london today

7 bombs so far across the city. We're all ok, but thoughts with the families of those injured and killed.

And what do they hope to achieve ?
