Dave is right. I left the day he sailed in and had a somewhat lumpy but fast ride out to 180 miles. I turned around in the wee hours, to discover that my autopilot had packed it in, so that meant some rather stressful driving off the wind for about 5-6 hours in pretty stiff breeze and high fog. And then....it died. And the fog came in thick. And then the wind came up again, into the teens for another long night of sheet-to-tiller steering, and then died to nothing for over 48 hours. I finally ghosted in quite a bit more than 5 days after I left... getting on to six days. However, the birds and whale watching were awesome while I sat there going nowhere.
You never know.
