Three and a half days non-stop from Miami to Beaufort, NC. Since everything was not yet commissioned, we did this hand steering and using the laptop with a GPS dongle for navigation. It was good that there were four of us to share the steering load. I think the autopilot is the first redundant electronics I will add. The boat did very well in a variety of seas. Good to be docked. Much wine was consumed after we were safely tied up.

Now we go back to NH and Alexei will finish the commissioning work. We'll see Anjumal again in Annapolis in a few weeks.
