We have had a real bugger of a time with the autopilot compass towards the end of last season, and on the weekend it went crazy again. I cursed all marine electronics to the crew - "It's all unreliable shit!", I cried.
Then today I had a thought...
We have a little speaker and sub-woofer setup for Sharon's laptop, for when watching movies on it. When we go sailing it needs to be stowed away. Guess where we have been stowing it. That's right, in a locker right next to the compass.
Just tested it - the compass deflected by 23 degrees.
Well, that's embarrassing.
But funny.
