Will,

Just wanted to give you a report halfway from the Galapagos. Our hydrovane, uniquely named Hydie, is performing spectacularly. What a pleasure! Better than the Raymarine on wind vane setting, definitely. I’ve been using it on the furthest left setting (as you face aft toward it). The middle didn’t seem responsive enough. Am I right in thinking that the middle setting is for more wind? We’re on a nice broad reach with 13-18 knots.

Best,

Marcus
