The Beginning Of The End

Violence Is For Those Who Destroy Young Lives

Distracting noise, the voices repeating spittle

from a broken brain, darkening light the

presentation is everything without no departure

from the shallow waters, its easy to kill the spirit

of someone with lies than face the truth of your

own deceptions, for once you begin your misguidance

the path of truth is always abandoned

-----

Mr. big lives in a mansion, his yard is bigger than mother

earth, his once new neighborhood is where violence and

death is inward, the cruel sinners never to be redeemed

-----

The wealthy have a security force that protects their

rich homes and valuables, where their neighborhood have

racists cops doing the dirty work for new persons rising

like a roaring flame from the depths of despair, someones

soul of greed stands in silence, no one can enter without

ID and the correct facial color and money envelopes, those

that try to communicate to the owners of peoples lives are

arrested for upsetting the families dinner plans with picket

signs in front of dad's majestic gated communities of

robber barons,

-----

How do people accept this wealth of others without a

thank you for their lives worn to a sitting corpse drinking

his beer staring at the tv without any thoughts, just silence

there is no mercy in the psychopath and his need for

power and profits off the backs of the poor and the lower

middle class, these men a so called power without any

feelings, treating humans as things without significance

-----

It is all mixed up these feelings of gravity pulling one to

lie without preserving the root cause of the times moody

transformation, one seeking his mother's breast once

more before dying,

-----

I seek the contours of a life worth living, worth exploring

your feelings blossom into a powerful forceful expression

more than just random thoughts but a new focus of

insightful revelations moving past the elites crooked hearts

-----

I close my mind to the external, I close my heart to the

soulless experiment of physical space suspended in

infinite time, we die by ignoring the evil present in this

collapsing world, hands hiding eyes that would rather

ignore the deaths arrogance of moneyed interest, do

you seed the pill of a god, just another imposter, you

have seen, heard internal dialogue with themselves to

charge the circumstance of your poverty as a dying wish

only, a son could sacrifice for his father who sits on the

throne and takes large dumps to impress the ones living

in satan's forereaching homes hell, his passing was for the

many, in church the cheers rise and the hands clap as

this man dies for our sins and we could careless of his

lonely sacrifice but have done the math on how much

income we will make of his holy stupidity

-----

His promised land now a rugged place for criminals,

a violent prosperous few who live not for the after life,

that is just plain nuts, but live in the physical space of

servants and the pleasure of traveling in monstrous

yachts, where private parties are destructive to those

unaware of there coming raping for life of the rich

could care less of living for others, only themselves

-----

Boohah! for the young boys and girls stripped naked

for the oligarchs use and then discarded once the

novelty of their flesh is known and spoiled by greed

there is no feelings that can absorb the taking of ones

body and mind and just use it and then throw it out

We Live Amongst Those Without Depth Of Caring

So what happened to your Dynamic Duo and the flooding boat! Jumping catfish, they were in a pickle.

I rushed below and inspected all the seacocks. We have a lot of through hull fittings, four in each heads, two under the sink in the main cabin and two supplying the engine. In addition there are various other fittings for the bilge pumps, engine exhaust, speed transducer, heater, scupper drains, vents for the various fuel, water and waste tanks.

As we had been sailing well heeled, any of these could have been under water, however the most inportant are the permanently submerged ones.

I went round them all and switched them off, opened up the engine compartment to see if there were any leaks there and drained the bilge with the electric bilge pump.

Up came all the floor boards to inspect the keel bolts. At this stage I had not identified the source but it was clearly quite a substantial leak as the ingress had been significant.

Well heeled.

Having done all this there did not seem to be any more coming in. However the combination of this issue and the unidentified hum from the transmission meant that carrying on to a remote anchorage was not a terrific plan and I thought we needed to return to civilisation.

I radioed Livianda and told them that we were returning to Datca because of these problems. This was a return trip of about 16 NM but the wind would be behind us and with a bit of luck we could sail the whole way before dark, without the need to motor.

So that is what we did. It was a good sail with a following wind of 15-20kts. As we reached the point of Ince Burundari, the wind failed and we had to motor rounf for just a few minutes before the breeze returned, but this time from the N directly ahead of us. We only had about 4 miles to go so we carried on sailing up wind, but as we closed our destination the wind strength increased and we ended up forereaching into 25-30 knot winds for a couple of miles to get to Datca. We managed to sail into the harbour before turning on the motor.

As useful as....

There was no berth obviously available so we anchored in the bay.

The only clue I had was that the toilet paper repository under the sink in the aft heads was wet when I pulled it out to look at the seacocks there. It could just have got wet from the water in the bilge slopping in there but I was suspicious this could be our source of trouble.

Sinking by the sink

So with the seacock draining the sink closed, I filled the sink with fresh water. Lo and behold it poured out the underside of the sink. We had been sailng well heeled to port and seawater would have entered up the piping and leaked out. I felt much better that the source of the potential calamity had been found, and we settled down to have a beer and a relaxed evening.

However I was still concerned about the lubrication of my sterngland, so to speak, and spent a restless night going through the various strategies available.

I sent a message to the Beneteau 423 forum. This is a brilliant group who are highly responsive, highly knowledgable and always kee to help. Witihn a few hours I had several replies offering a range of views.

The problem I faced was that the rubber hose on the stern gland lube system was ancient, hard and possibl;y fragile. If I put a mole grip on it to block the water flow, it might crack.

Sterngland lubrication setup

I could turn off the inflow at the seacock, but the outflow is through a brass tube, fibreleglassed into the stern tube apparatus. This is notoriously fragile and I know of several people who have snapped them off trying to work on them. So I did not really want to go there.

The reples I got varied from “dont touch that lot while afloat, you could sink”, to”don’t worry about it when I snapped mine off I just dived over the side and blocked the inflow round the prop shaft with plasticine and an anode”!

Someone else on the forum said they had also had this humming noise intermittently but had never found the cause, and had not noticed a hot prop shaft.

So I tossed and turned a bit wrestling with this dilemma.

In the morning we tied up in the harbour.

I put my big girl pants on and set to work. I got the area cleared for action and recruited my assistant. I had new hose if I needed it but the plan was to remove the hose from the inflw side and put a bung in it to stop the backflow.

Fortunately the 20 year old hose came off the junction more easily than I had expected. There was good brisk back flow from the hose, and on opening the tap, good brisk inflow. So the original hypothesis of a blocked inflow was wrong. What a relief, we did not urgently need a diver.

There is an instruction in the handbook that after the boat is relauched after a period ashore the sterngland should be lubricated with a small amount of magic grease and burped. Because we had not dried out this winter I had not done this, but perhaps?

The magic grease trick involves putting a small amount inside a plastic straw, flattening the end of the straw, slipping it inside the rubber stern gland and milking the grease inside.

Magic grease delivery apparatus

The burping procedure involves putting your hands around the gland and squeezing hard (think least favourite boss or manager) until it deforms and a ”burp” of water spills out.

I then re-sealed the drainage of the sink with Butyl goo – great stuff. So with a bit of luck we were a going concern again.

Livianda had retraced their track back to Datca and re-joined us. The next morning we set off E again. It was quite a brisk breeze but we motored for a bit to test out the transmission. Cool as a cucumber, Well a black rubber one. Amazing what a little bit of lube can do. The possibilities for puerile humour are immense but I will resist in the cause of decency.

Dottin about.

Over the next few days we dotted about favourite haunts, Dirsek, Orhaniye, and ended up at Bencik, one of thr nicest anchorages. The water is still cold but we finally mustered up the moral courage to get in the water with the scrapers to havea go at the hull.

Sea life

It then became clear why we had been going so slowly. There was a thick layer of sea life from stem to stern. Tubeworm, barnacles and fronds of weed everywhere. After half and hour we had perhaps cleared about quarter of it but without a wet suit it was not possible to do much more.

We also found that there was no anode whatsoever on the prop shaft.

Absent anode on prop shaft.

The anode is made of zinc and corrodes sacrificially to protect the sterngear. Without one there is a risk the prop might de-zincify, which is a form of corrosiion that results in it turning mostly into copper and becoming fragile. I had one on board but theere is no way one can be fitted without an aqualung.

So we still need a diver!

How to cope with steering failure

You’re at the helm when you suffer steering failure. Will you ricochet around the ocean or simply come to a stop? And what can you do to restore control? Chris Beeson finds out

To find out what a steering failure would be like, we levered the steering cables off the quadrant of a Jeanneau Sun Fizz 40 in a Force 4

Chris Beeson

Wheel steering systems are fundamentally simple and fail so rarely that we tend to take them for granted. However, this also means they often don’t get the maintenance they need. When a steering system does fail – usually due to impact damage or problems caused by a lack of maintenance – you will end up with no control of your vessel whatsoever.

In fact, steering failure can be worse than losing your rudder. With no rudder, you’ll still have a range of methods to help restore steerage: balancing sails, trimming the boat using crew weight, using a pole and board to make a jury rudder, or using a bridled drogue. We looked at these in our Summer 2010 issue, and, to some extent, they all give you some control of your direction. But if your rudder is jammed off-centre, your options will be severely limited.

What can go wrong?

Modern steering systems are generally so reliable that we tend to take them for granted, so much so that maintenance can get overlooked

The usual cause of failure is a lack of maintenance. Steering cables rarely break but they can become slack or stretched and may eventually drop off a quadrant or sheave. Another possibility, linked to too much tension in the system or poor scantlings, would be a turning block in the steering system detaching from a bulkhead, dropping the tension out of the system and letting the cables fall off the quadrant.

What happened when we lost steerage?

When our boat lost steering control she rounded up and turned 360° as we tried to tack the foresail to ‘follow’ her, in an attempt to re-establish control

To find out what a loss of steering would feel like, we decided to lever the cables off the quadrant of our test boat, Fizzical, a Jeanneau Sun Fizz 40, while under sail. With a Force 4 setting in from south-southeast, we had no idea what would happen, so we sought shelter and sea-room in Osborne Bay, a weather shore.

Would we career around the bay or would we be pinned to the deck as the boom slammed from side to side above our ducked heads and the rudder crashed from stop to stop? The reality was a bit different.

Our experiment ended when the yacht, left to her own devices, circled one last time then stabilised in a hove-to forereach as the rudder feathered off

Once the steering cables were off, the quadrant barely moved. Having borne away to ease tension and release the leeward cable, the yacht continued her gentle downward, clockwise arc, slowly easing through a gybe before setting off on a vaguely hove-to forereach on starboard with the genoa backed.

It was the foresail that eventually helped to stabilise our direction and the quadrant ticked very slowly towards midships as the water flow feathered the rudder.

We repeated the exercise to see if our experience was reliable. This time we had a little less speed and found ourselves pirouetting gently a couple of times, tacking and gybing without touching the sails, before heading off on the same leisurely starboard fore-reach with the genoa backed.

What should you do?

There are a number of actions you can take to regain steerage, or make the best of your situtation

Engage the autopilot

Use the autopilot: it’s connected directly to the stock with no load on the cables or quadrant

If you have a ram attached directly to your rudder stock, it will give you control in any scenario barring a bent rudder stock, seized bearings or loss of the rudder itself. You will also have control of the quadrant, so refitting and tightening the cables is fairly straightforward, depending on quadrant access.

Find and use the emergency tiller

With no autopilot, get out your emergency tiller. Hopefully it will fit onto the stock and its securing bolt won’t be rusted solid

If you don’t have an autopilot, fish out your emergency tiller. It will only take a couple of minutes to bolt on and will restore steerage. Even in sheltered water, there will still be a fair bit of weight in the tiller, which will make it, and the boat, less manageable. Tack and gybe a few times to ensure you have complete control.

It’s very important that you dig out your emergency tiller and practice using it before you need it for real. Check it regularly for corrosion, too. On some centre cockpit yachts, the emergency tiller is in the aft cabin, which makes it hard to hold a straight course. On some aft cockpit yachts it extends aft, complicating its use.

Tiller-steered boats aren’t immune from steering loss, so have a sturdy spare

Owners of tiller-steered yachts might be feeling smug at this point, but the same fate can befall them, too. The tiller can split, bolts can shear or rattle undone, the stainless steel plates can buckle if not up to the job. You need a spare tiller. YM’s photographer Graham Snook has a solid wooden table leg, planed to fit the stainless steel bracket at the rudder head and drilled to accept bolts to hold it all together. Laminated wood, usually ash and mahogany, is stronger.

Drop anchor

If you’re in coastal waters but out of shipping channels, why not stop the clock and anchor?

If you’re unable to employ any of the above, and you’re in water shallow enough to set ground tackle, do so. This will keep you off a lee shore and buy you enough time to examine and maybe resolve the problem. If not, call for assistance.

Remove the rudder

If you’ve tried your autopilot or emergency tiller and still can’t move the rudder, then you have a real challenge. It’s a problem that affects only spade-ruddered yachts, due to seized bearings or a bent stock. Keel or skeg-hung rudders have less complicated bearings as the skeg or keel bears the rudder’s load (assuming the fixings are strong enough not to shear off the hull forward, which could allow the rudder to punch through the hull aft). If the rudder is jammed only slightly off the centreline, then an offset drogue may straighten your course and give you some steerage. If it’s jammed hard over, the best option is to knock out the rudder completely. It seems drastic but there are many ways to steer a yacht without a rudder. There’s no way to steer a yacht with the rudder jammed hard over.

Tighten the steering cables

If the cables have slipped off due to lack of tension, it’s probably be much easier to tighten the cables’ securing nuts a couple of turns while using the emergency tiller, before slipping them back onto the quadrant’s sheave. The one slight problem you may face is if the tiller rides directly above the space in which you’re trying to work – so it’s advisable to heave-to, if you can do so safely, while adjusting tension.

Re-fit the steering cables

With the emergency tiller keeping the helm hard to starboard, the shorter starboard cable can be levered on fairly easily. Once in place, put the helm hard to port and lever on the shorter port cable

It’s easiest if you still have control of the quadrant, by using the emergency tiller or autopilot. The first cable will slip on easily but to lever the second back onto the quadrant’s sheave, replacing the system’s tension, you will need the quadrant on the opposing lock.

Once the cables are back on the quadrant, check the wheel to make sure you have full steering control. In most non-hydraulic wheel steering systems, the cables are joined by a length of chain that runs over a sprocket driven by the steering wheel’s axle. If this has jumped off the sprocket, you need to remove the compass on top of the steering pedestal to replace the chain. Remember also that the cables cross at some point, either in the pedestal or under the helm position.

How to maintain steering cables

Twice a season check the entire system, lubricating the steering cables and sheaves

Twice a season, lubricate the sheaves and the full length of the cable with engine oil. If you find any broken strands, the cable needs replacing. If there aren’t many, keep the old cables as spares.

Steering cables shouldn’t deflect more than one inch per foot of cable between sheaves

Check cable tension. Using finger pressure, the cable shouldn’t deflect more than an inch per foot of cable run between sheaves. More than this and steering will feel sloppy and the cables could fall out of the sheaves or quadrant. Less than this and steering will feel stiff, plus your cables will wear quicker. Adjust cables at the quadrant – this is not always as easy as it sounds.
