Once again voyage ends in Cape Town

Once again my voyage is ending in Cape Town. The issues are the two autopilots are not holding headings in moderate to heavy winds. There is also my slow progress especially from Bermuda to the equator compounded by a delayed start from St. Augustine due to the late delivery of the new sails. I have not caught it up. Commanders Weather, my router has advised I will be late getting to Cape Horn. With that and the state of autopilots, the only prudent choice is to head for Cape Town. Sorry to disappoint again.
Cheers
Stanley
