We're very glad that we got this autopilot issue happening now and not on the long ocean passage. The joint or link or whatever it's called that links the autopilot and the rudder, is left for reparation. The whole piece of steel got teared apart by the waves and it needs to get welded to get back in shape. We hope that this will be enough of reparation on it for now (it's a Raytheon ST6001+ autopilot, if you wonder).
Marina d' Agadir is a very commercial but OK marina to stay in, although we would love to get going and head more West. If we get our things sorted out here properly and soon, we might leave tomorrow for Lanzarote, if not, we will have to wait out another gale which is rolling in over this area on Tuesday. /Taru
