Tod Mills is the wind steering guru. At the 2003 CBR he hooked up his wind vane and then minute by minute pulled away from me. I have the tiller lock boxes like Connie. I lost ground to Tod when the wind took those little shifts and I had to recognize the shift, unlock, correct course and lock the tiller back. Tod kept tracking the wind and pulling away. I never gave much thought to a wind vane before, but I was very impressed. Hey John C. - sounds like you had a great trip. Thanks for posting it. steve Steve R.
