What is a wind vane? (It’s a self-steering device…that’s super simplified)
Is there more than one type? (Yes!)
Is it windvane or wind vane? (Who knows??? Seriously, every other place seems to have a space or no space between wind and vane. Come on people…let’s make a decision and stick with it!)
In this latest episode Drake talks about wind vanes (windvanes?) and autopilots. How they work. What are the different types.
And finally, we unbox our brand-spankin’ new Hydrovane!
It’s something that’e been on our wish list for ages! We’ve been saving our pennies and were finally able to purchase one and are so excited to unbox it with you!
Remember when we lost our steering off the coast of Greenland? The Hydrovane would have seriously come in handy then!
Anyone out there have a windvane (wind vane?)? What kind do YOU have? Do you like it?
Hope you enjoy Part 1 of the Hydrovane series: The Unboxing.

correction: In this video, Drake mistakenly refers to Sir William Robin Patrick Knox-Johnston as Sir Robert Knox Johnston. This mistake was made because Sir William Robin Patrick Knox-Johnston’s Wikipedia page entry also mistakenly refers to him a Robert.
