Late December 2012
We got our auto pilot working!! Yes on the way out of Nuevo Vallarta
(Paradise Village Marina) we tried to calibrate the auto pilot(AP) but it keep
failing. We determined the seas were too rough so we set sail for La Cruz,
highly disappointed. Once we got to La Cruz about a one and a half hour trip
the northern point there shelter the seas enough to try he calibration again.
Part of it consist of 15-20 sig sags by the AP and it takes a fair amount of
distance. We pulled up by the anchorage and started our tests point south.
After the first try we aborted thinking it failed. We gave it one more try
before heading into the marina. This time it passed. Ya!
Our next passage is around the point of Cabo Corrientes and the point has
two currents colliding and the wind is from yet a different location. Hmmm.
