Found by accident, our tiller pin issue could have caused us some massive massive issues on passage. Autopilot failing isn't going to sink your boat so it isn't a total disaster, but having to hand steer a boat for days and days at a time is something that we absolutely never want to do.

We are Dev (pronounced Dave) and Spandana (pronounced Spun-The-Nuh), a software engineer and developmental behavioral pediatrician, who gave up everything. Less than 6 months after learning how to sail, we bought a sailboat and jumped into full time cruising in 2021. Our Turtle is a 40 foot 1993 Caliber who has had 7 owners before us and has even been salvaged once. Join our adventure as we travel the world, collecting memories and barnacles!
