Mini Pete goes to Greenland

Breaking news. Pete had to leave us in the Faeroes for business reasons but we've managed to find the ideal replacement. Our new automatic tiller pilot has been renamed TillerPete and will help us get to Greenland and the Azores without straining our arms. Unlike Pete, TillerPete is silent in operation, responds instantly and obediently to commands, follows instructions to the letter, never nods off and, most importantly, doesn't eat anything. We all miss Pete but know that he is with us in spirit.
We are leaving for Greenland later today but will update our position every couple of days.
