Thanks for sharing your ocean passage in this great video. Your auto pilot experience reminds me that I will need to do a complete check of our auto pilot before we try any kind of an ocean crossing. A crew of three is clearly a must if hand steering is needed. Congratulations on a successful passage. Smooth seas and fair winds to you on your journeys.

You did it, and look so happy.

I was today in cala de sa tuna near cap Begu (picture one)r. Europe is waiting for you.

By the way Beneteau reinforced the rudder and autopilot before I left for this little single handed cruise.

I also had the autopilot oil leak a year ago. There is a default in th O ring of the hydraulic. L&S changed it free by complete exchange. I can get you the contact in France if this helps you.

I hope to see you this summer in the Med.

Great video! Makes us anxious to get to sea again. Quite different from our Pacific crossing. We sailed without a sat-phone or auto pilot but we would never dream of drinking instant coffee d;^)

Good Job! Nice editing. Now you've got the nicest smelling autopilot. No surprise that you had extra olive oil!
Congratulations, but the adventure continues...
Good luck!
