Were you headed?

The haul-out was supposed to be about $300 with three lay days, went to

They think it's the best, we'll see. Looks pretty straightforward,
though, and will use lots less amps than our Robertson autopilot!
Cool thing was, we scored the unit (used, of course) for just $500,
with a spare rudder and two vanes. Installation looks clean, strong,
and doesn't obscure our name or hailing port.
We're going to cruise the Mexican Riviera until late March, when it
becomes safe to venture out onto the big blue puddle.
Best,
Mike
