Installing our NEW AUTOPILOT! [Ep56 RED SEAS]
We are installing our new autopilot this week and it's a really important upgrade for our boat. We will soon be setting sail on some longer passages and it's crucial we can rely on our navigation equipment so today is all about wiring and testing our new autopilot, then we head out to sea to calibrate it and make silly patterns with our track!

📖 Our Story 📖
We're Iain and Brioni, a couple of ginger Scots who sold everything we own and moved to the Caribbean to buy a boat that we could call home. We have a habit of finding ourselves in the most unusual circumstances, but that’s what makes life interesting! We love to travel, we love the sea and we love sharing inspiring stories about inspiring people. So hit subscribe and join us on this adventure!
