Elite Keel Pictures (or lack thereof)

Heather: "gi...mme...that...beer"
Great conversation with Mark back at the Saint Francis. It went something like that:
Nat - we will get a speedometer with the autohelm system
mark - what's an autohelm?
Nat - it's a device that drives the boat if you are short-handed and need to do something elsewhere. It needs signals to make the right decision and speed is one of those.
Mark - can it operate the rudder, or work with the tiller?
Nat - actually, this is exactly what the system is designed to do.
Mark - Oh you mean like an autopilot?


Happy Nat and Dizzy Elise

Seals have a strong sense of property. You will notice the "Keep Out" sign rather evidently displayed.
This is not meant to be a close up on Nat's shoulder but an insert of a U-Boat. We nearly sank after the attack but our energetic use of the bilge pump saved us from disaster.
