I am supposed to fix the autopilot myself, right? Well, it’s April Fools’ Day, and this sounds like one of the best jokes I've ever heard, except that I'm not laughing, not at all. Just imagine that you're sailing, you're in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, the autopilot breaks down and it turns out that "autopilots of this kind are no longer produced"!!!
Apparently, I am going to receive an actuator by post. An actuator.. . I wonder what it looks like. I should look it up in a book or something. Eh, and I have to face it all at my old age?
Me? To fix? An autopilot? Yeah, right... I like it but I'm totally terrified at the same time.
