The big get away

[Koeketiene]

Hha ha....brilliant,,,we name everything and fall about laughing about it all the time,,,
George the electric auto pilot, and Harry the Hydrovane

We name everything too.
Electric autopilot: Snorky (kids came up with that one - because when it's working it sounds like someone snoring).
Windvane: Carly (as in Carly Simon - You're so vain...)

oh dear - sounds like some of you stayed ashore a little to long !

Oh dear, that's a worry. We've a "Derek the dinghy" too, I thought we were the only nutters that did that sort of thing. We also have a "Katie the Kayak" though so maybe we're further en-route to the asylum than you!

Not by any means. We have Terrance the tender, dave2 the auto pilot. We had a Dave but he died sadly. Swambo understands these new nautical terms. Oh and not to forget Garry the chart plotter, made by Garmin naturally!!

"...dave2 the auto pilot. We had a Dave but he died sadly. "

Our first autopilot was called Jim, but when he went the way of all autopilots, he was replaced with a posher version - a James, definitely rather than a Jim. Then the new boat had a German one (well, the boat was German) so since the Grman equivalent of James is, according to Wikipedia, Jakob, he is the very efficient present one.
