T&T: Autopilots on Auto..Auto..Auto

[Ralph]

My trawler has an ancient Wagner auto-pilot that cannot be interfaced with
the GPS. I must make constant course adjustments to make up for set and
drift. I always envied those with the more modern units, but now I have
second thoughts. It does break up the monotony of those long legs up the
coast. Since my auto-pilot can only be "tuned" at the lower helm, I am
getting some needed physical exercise going up and down all day. I think
I'll keep what I got.
