Anna Day - Congratulations to all of you who have namesday
At the stern we have two large stores, one on the port side and one on
starboard side. "Lasarett" they are called, an old term for stores
aft sails on sailing ships. They house spare pull tabs, fenders, life-belts,
etc. There is also Otto Autopilot. He has worked for us throughout the autumn
but a few days ago started to whine and scream at the slightest
course correction. We discovered that the expansion tank with his
hydraulic oil sat lower down in the boat than the controller. We were had to give him
a little first aid by hanging the bottle higher, so that
self-pressure fills up the oil. It now looks like we have a
dropping-bottle hanging above the hospital. Otto is very satisfied.
