There was indeed a very large turnout and it was well appreciated by John's family. The caterers and bar helpers did us proud. It feels now like the end of an era.

Re: auto pilot worked from phone

.
Hi Mick, I had hoped to go to Holland when we had the barge, but didn't quite make it. Ian Hitch and myself made an autopilot for it a bit like in the video, but the compass was not at all happy with the steel hull, and we conerted it to wind control.
