3 hours into a 9 hour cruise down the ditch and the auto helm shit the bed. Not wanting to stop and figure it out since I had a favorable tide, I chose to trudge on. Following that, after 6 hours (uninterrupted) at the wheel, I gave up and dropped the hook here. Of course, after I drug out all the necessary tools to trouble shoot the problem, it magically worked like nothing is wrong and I can't recreate the problem. Life on a boat ...

My arse is sore ... ;-o
