This week we head into the beautiful Shelter bay marina to finally install our Hydrovane, and a few other maintenance jobs that one has to do owning a boat.

On his solo, nonstop record setting around the Americas circumnavigation, Matt Rutherford relied on a Monitor windvane. Technically, he was "coastal cruising" a few hundred miles offshore and through the Arctic's Northwest Passage. However, on his 10K mile Pacific leg from Alaska to C...
Footage from one of our first sailing adventures. We begin to realize just how much the wind changes directions, especially on a lake. As the wind changes speed and direction, I realize the wind indicator is out of position and is not visible from the helm.

We set off on our first long passage with our new Cape Horn wind vane! It worked flawlessly and even held course during and after our first knock down. We ended up spending most of the trip down below since waves were constantly soaking the cockpit. We ruined our main camera and chart plotter to wat...

Here's a complete install video of our new Cape Horn Wind Vane
We probably should have gone over this in the video. We've spent the last two years, researching and looking into pretty much every brand of vane out there. I think our decision boils down to 3 main points.

This video covers the installation and the very first sea trial. There was a frustrating gap between installing and getting out to sea - all things out...
