Spinnaker Cup 2011 - prep

Nathan is doing the race single-handed so it is helpful to have a working autopilot. The pilot worked...up until about 30 min before Nathan had to leave the dock when we went out for a final validation.

 Matt "a little to the left, there's a frog swimming in front of the boat'

 Obedient Nat turns the boat to port

 Helping Nathan test the autopilot. Matt is giving directions and Nat is driving (since the autodriver was defective). Nathan is debugging with a broken multimeter...the worst thing is taht everything seems to be working just fine...

 Ready to cast off

Have fun Nathan and be safe out there!
