Shakedown Cruise to Catalina

We just got back from Catalina. We have sailed there before, of course, but this was the first time since moving on the boat with all our stuff. And it served as a shakedown for all the new equipment I have recently added.

Everything performed well. The autopilot keeps the boat on track when sailing and under power. The chartplotter and AIS are working fine. I'm particularly happy with the AIS, which helped us identify some large ships that were approaching us in foggy conditions near the entrance to LA Harbor long before we could see them.
