Engine duty. Checked oil and diesel filter. Drive belt is slack, tried to tighten it but with no luck. Need some help from my brother on this matter... Did some tidying up belove deck before I cast loss. By motor to Saltrøa before I hoisted the main. Needed help from the engine. Passing Storkaia in Molde, then by Moldeholmen and Hjertøya, before course was set towards home.
Used gaffa tape to fasten the autopilot to the tiller, since I have not figured out how to make a permanent attachment yet. Managed to test the pilot a little though. The autopilot is a Simrad TP32. Bought it from US of A due to beneficial dollar. It can steer a course with the built in compass, or it can keep on track if it's connected to a GPS or tack according to a wind instrument. Nice!

Skal spare til fjernkontroll til autopiloten etterhvert.
