Anchored and tied off stern to shore, about 750 metres from Frikes Port. Investigated the autohelm issue. At first thought it may have been a blown fuse. On checking servo motor in engine room, it was not the fuse. The Jefa shaft from the servo motor to the bulkhead connection had sheared both universal joints. I think this occurred when we were heading out from Asos a couple of days ago into very heavy weather. I recall working very hard on the helm before realising I had inadvertently put in in auto mode. Will be a tricky one to solve given confined space. Maybe end of season repair. So will be under manual helm for the time being.  Later we took the dinghy ashore for lunch.
