Many years ago I had a new autopilot and was cruising parallel to Northport
beach. Looked around, all clear and I went below to make coffee. Several
minutes later I heard the autopilot engage and it made a 90 degree turn
directly toward the beach! Of course this was a Sunday so tech support was
unavailable. Monday I called tech support and was told not to use the autopilot
closer than 2 miles from shore because garage door openers can cause it to
change course!! I didn't get a beep, beep, beep, wish I had.Michael CottonS/V

Reminds me when I anchored one summer evening behind Charles Island,
Connecticut side of Long Island Sound and in the morning I was awakened by
men's voices talking and laughing like they were right next to my boat. I
thought we dragged anchor! I lept on deck and checked my bearings to find we
were on station. I rechecked the charts and saw an ismuth that ran from the
mainland to the island at about 2 to 3 feet depth.
Dawn revealed there were about a dozen fishermen standing knee to waist deep on
the sandbar, fishing about 50 feet from my boat. Weird.

Anchored off boardwalk at Pensacola Beach last night. 30 20.25 N 87 08.41 W.
Dead calm, clear night. Set anchor alarm on GPS. Depth alarm also set.
At 5am this morning I was startled awake by "beep beep beep". Leapt up, came
into cockpit and heard it again. It was the backup alarm on a garbage truck on
the island emptying dumpsters. :(. Crap!
