Yacht Electrical Systems Maintenance for Keeping your Yacht Alive

Although megayacht owners and yacht engineers may be knowledgeable, they are not licensed to work as the ship's electricians. Owners frequently hire yacht repair firms to handle work on their electrical systems. 

A detailed knowledge of the vessel's electrical systems enables the yacht repair and maintenance business to identify and address minor faults before they become more serious ones. Therefore, regular preventative maintenance of the yacht's electrical systems will keep it operating at its best. 

Regular equipment inspections, even if there are no visible indicators of malfunction or wear and tear, are part of preventive maintenance. Vulnerabilities in systems, materials, and equipment are also taken into account. The technical and mechanical staff aboard yachts schedule routine maintenance tasks to prevent costly damages. They have a good maintenance schedule in place as well.

In particular, the following systems are focused upon for preventive maintenance:

Alarms, monitoring systems

Lights, lighting systems

Circuit breakers, switchboards

Generators, motors

pool cleaning simon for more shirtless excuses

i've been thinking about maintenance man simon because in my apt, they can just use their own key to come inside whenever you make a service request like sir i was in the bathroom. they also come knock on the door by mistake. very simon coded. showing up with an excuse just to see you today 😔

pool cleaner simon who does not use sunscreen and you're at the pool looking at him be so ruddy cheeked he resembles a tomato so you offer him some of your own banana boat but he has his hands full so he shoves his face into your personal space so you can put some on him. and he takes his shirt off because it's far too hot and not because he's trying to show off his barrel chest and broad back ok

Love me Like a Sailor

Arthur Morgan x Captain!Reader

Summary: You're the captain of a small smuggling ship in need of protection. Luckily, Arthur Morgan, a part of the infamous Van der Linde gang, is more than happy to oblige. He's also a little nervous, but that's neither here nor there.

A/N: This isn't my first rodeo, but it is my first show 😥😥 Be gentle with me, ladies and gentlemen! I don't know when I'll update or how long this will be, so stay tuned 😈😈

☆☆☆☆☆

You’re down on the dock.

You’re working on your ship, hair shining like silk in the sun, plaited back from your face. Sweat drips from your brow, and you lift the side of an arm to wipe off the drops. Your smile is sharp, wicked when you stand and gesture at your crew. The laugh that tumbles from your lips is loud but sweet - rough around all the right edges.

Arthur can’t stop looking. He’s posted up in Van Horn’s grungy hotel, watching you out of his window like some sort of pervert. Adjusting his jeans and shifting his lean and trying to wipe the blush off his face as he watches you chip away at something with a weird little tool, cigarette hanging between your pretty lips, he knows damn well he’s acting a fool.

He has to go down there, eventually. A job is a job is a job, and Dutch would nag him for days if he didn’t secure this frankly inconsequential partnership.

Arthur sighs, pushing himself off the wall and tearing his eyes away from the window. He grabs his hat, jams it onto his head, and slams the door to his room shut when he leaves with a huff. His boots squelch through the sand and silt as he makes his way to the Konstantina, hands gripping his belt buckle for dear life.

The little steam ferry isn’t overwhelming - has a stack, two decks, a paddlewheel, and that’s about it. It’s colorful though, polished shades of ochre, red, and black glittering in the sun. The crew of the ship are doing what Arthur presumes is maintenance. Some are scrubbing at the top deck with sponges, some standing around the paddlewheel, and some chipping away at rust.

Arthur had sat through enough of Pearson’s ramblings about his time in the service to know that a ship was always a reflection of the captain. He tried to make heads and tails of it, the way that the Konstantina was so obviously yours. There wasn’t a speck of rust that he could see with his bare eye, boat painted brightly and polished to perfection. If he focused real hard, he couldn’t tell where the boat began and you started.

He gets close enough to meet your eyes, and his knees go a little weak. Your smile is blinding, as you watch him approach. Your ratty work shirt is rolled to your shoulders, leaving miles of skin uncovered. Freckles travel up and down your arms - Arthur’s mouth goes dry, wanting to count every single one with his mouth and mark them down in his journal. Wants to see how far along your body they go, and if he can’t dig his hands into your hips and leave something of his own-

“Mr. Morgan! Pleasure to finally meet you!”

You stride down the gangway to shake his hand, and Arthur watches you in a trance. When your hand, small and calloused, fits into his own, his breath catches imperceptibly in his chest. Arthur clears his throat, scratching the back of his neck. You watch him, a glitter of amusement in your eye as if you know exactly what you’re doing.

As loath as he was to admit it, John was right. He was in deep shit.

“S'good to meet you, too,” he said, voice rough. “Sorry for the delay.”

Scoffing, you grab Arthur’s arm and link it with your own, leading him onto your ship. “It's no issue! I'm just glad you made it. I know it's quite the trek to get out here.”

He watches as you sweep an arm out to gesture around you, and he can't help but smile.

“Nothing I can’t handle, Miss.”

“Of course, Mr. Morgan,” you say with a laugh. You throw your head to the side a bit, revealing your neck to him like you're asking him to bite into the skin there. His grip on your arm tightens just slightly as he tries to breathe - but he can't, not with you right next to him.

“I talked to Mr. Van der Linde briefly, but he said that you’re the one with the real plans,” you say, releasing his arm once you've led him out of the sun and into a small office on deck. He looks around, inspecting the charts on the drawing table and the strange gear that he wouldn’t know how to use if he tried. When he returns his gaze to you, he’s surprised to see a fond smile on your face.

“Ain’t much in the way of plans yet, I’m afraid,” he says, registering that you were waiting for a response.

You snorted, propping yourself against the table. Arthur’s eyes flash to your hips, quickly flicking to your face before you can notice. He immediately knows that he failed, however - you’re wearing a bemused smile.

“Well, I sell up the river and in San Denis. Could use some protection, and in return, we can pay you or sell for you. Some things sell better up north than at a fence. Believe me,” you say, confidently gesturing to the chart behind you. Arthur doesn’t know what he’s looking at when he follows the sweep of your fingers, but he finds that he doesn’t care much.

“You’re the expert, Miss."

“Flattery will get you nowhere, Mr. Morgan,” you joke. He chuckles quietly, leaning against the wall next to the desk.

“But it’s always worth a try.”

You chuff, sitting up and looking out the window of the small bridge at the men working.

“Never let anyone tell you that you ain’t a gentleman,” you say distractedly, furrowing your eyebrows at whatever you see outside. You frown and shoulder past him gently, making your way to your crew. He turns to watch you through the window.

“Gentleman,” you say, slapping your hands on the shoulders of two of the men standing around the deck with cigarettes between their fingers. “What’re you doing?”

Both men seem to tense up, awkwardly standing still as they try to come up with an answer. You wait patiently, tapping your foot slightly and raising an eyebrow. The younger of the two men clears his throat, and rubs the back of his neck.

“The deck looked clean from yesterday, so we figured-”

“Oh, dear. Captain’s tax,” you say, gesturing to his cigarette and smiling when he gives it over with a long suffering sigh. You take a couple of drags, the men shuffling their feet as they wait for you to finish. Handing him back his cigarette, you put your hands on your hips and look between the two.

“Deck maintenance is important. I know that you know that. Consider this a warning,” you say calmly. “You know where the holystone supplies are. I expect the deck to be done by noon if you want the rest of the day off. Don’t disappoint me boys.”

Both of them duck their heads, throwing their cigarettes overboard and trudging to the stairs that lead down into the hold, muttering a resigned “Yes, ma’am” as they go. You smile, thanking them as they leave, and make your way back to the bridge.

“Sorry about that, Mr. Morgan,” you say. “They’re good boys, don’t get me wrong. But there’s no room for laziness on my boat.”

Arthur’s lips tug up into a smile. He thinks that he likes this side of you - the side that Dutch decided would be worth their while.

“Nothing to worry about, Miss.”

“Please, Mr. Morgan,” you say, a twinkle in your eyes. “Call me Caspian.”

[national-rail]

If you didn't know, the National Rail network has several stations that are technically still open despite having no service. These include:

Barlaston, Wedgewood and (previously) Norton Bridge.

These are all on the line between the west coast mainline and Stoke. These stations (along with Stone) were closed during upgrade work to the WCML to allow for pendolino to be used on the route. Stone has so far been the only one to regain train service, and Norton Bridge is the only one to be officially closed albiet over a decade after losing service. Barlaston and Wedgewood received a (now discontinued) rail replacement bus for over a decade and at least one of them is still set to reopen. Their last rail service was 2006.

Teeside Airport

Oh, an airport station! How is this (basically) closed? Well there's two main reasons. Teeside Airport is not a big airport with ~225,000 passengers a year. The station is also a 15 mibute walk away from the station along a service road. Trains slowly stopped serving the station, then stopped serving in one direction when the airport owner stopped funding maintenance for the footbridge and then stopped serving altogether when the airport refused to pay for repairs. Well done guys great job here. A new station from the airport is to be built using money from the cancelled HS2. Great... love that.

IBM

Built to serve an IBM factory. The IBM factory shut and now it just serves an abandoned industrial area. The station lost its service to prevent antisocial behavior but remains technically open in case of redevelopment. I hope it keeps its name if it reopens, it's unique.

Redcar British Steel

Served the British Steel plant outside of Redcar. The plant closed and now it's just in a field surrounded by industrial property. You legally cannot leave the station on foot. There is no road. I think it just remains open because the paperwork is a faf.

Sampford Courtenary

I don't think this station technically reopened? This station is on the Okehampton line which was a heritage line up until recently. It was served by heritage trains and special summer service trains from GWR up until the heritage lines collapse during the pandemic. The line was then acquired by Network Rail and Okehampton now recieves regular service, however with no intention of serving Sampford. I guess it counts? It might be replaced by a new Okehampton Parkway station but I think that's up in the air rn.

Altnabreac

This is one of many stations on the Far North line in the middle of nowhere. It is currently closed due to a land access dispute on the only path to the station (common land ownership L). It will reopen once this is resolved.

Weymouth Quay

This station served boats departing from Weymouth until they stopped in the 1980s. The lined remained open for rail tours for a while but the track was pulled up in 2021. They never bothered legally closing the station though and it has now been demolished.

Stanlow and Thornton

This station serves an industrial area. It was served a parliamentary service until the footbridge used to access the station became unsafe and no one wanted to repair it. They'll totally fix it one day guys trust 👍

Manchester United Football Ground

Glorified siding with platform served on match days by a shuttle service. Services were withdrawn by request of Manchester United for health and safety concerns. No one bothered actually closing it but I guess it could reopen?

[dragon-communion]

So the most recent ask unlocked my academic brainrot and I've gotta say Thiollier is SLACKING.

For the record my area of expertise is ancient Mesopotamia, so I probably have more relevant things to say about the Uhl civilization that predated the Nox, but I digress. A temple was, essentially, a house. The priests were house servants to the god. And I mean that very literally- body servants, musicians, cooks, you name it. There would be a very intricate statue that the priests washed and dressed and symbolically fed, and on holidays they'd put that statue in a symbolic boat or whatnot so the god could go on a little jaunt around the town.

So that's the main perspective I'm coming from when I enter the Lands Between. Marika's whole situation as god-queen makes perfect sense to me, no notes.

TRINA, however. Trina baffles me. Most of the information I can find on her involves people searching for her in dreams and indulging in sleep, which gives me a lot to work with on the practices surrounding her cultus and mythology, but gives me VERY little on how she was actually honored.

Based on some information I got about her name being a Japanese pun on the word tree, I'm assuming her sites of worship are sacred trees. Which would make sense. There's a very constant through-line in the history of the Lands Between of tree worship, from the ancient Uhl ruins and the real-world worship in Mesopotamia of gods manifest as cedar trees, to the obvious Shinto influences in the game. Hell, there's an argument to be made for Christianity as a tree religion.

Regardless, in-game, trees are a Big Deal so a tree being a sacred site is par for the course, and there are at least two trees in Elden Ring that 100% belong to Trina in some capacity. The one in the Albinauric Village, and the one in the Apostate Derelict.

What confuses me about that though is I've been to the Albinauric tree. It's dead, drowning in poisoned water and surrounded by crabs. It is, admittedly, kind of in the center of the Albinauric village- the ravine under the rope bridge- but. Considering the fact that the albinaurics 100% shoot St. Trina's Arrows, and thus know and respect her, it seems weird that there's just nothing around the tree to indicate any kind of worship or even basic maintenance. Just the circle of flowers. And poisoned water.

I'm currently fighting my way towards the Apostate Derelict, so I'll investigate that tree when I get there, but like. There's not a single church or chapel in St. Trina's name. She has no house. She's the saint of sleep, why haven't I found any lilies next to a bed or something? Where's the hospitality??? Where's her HOUSE.

So the fact that Thiollier literally has his living goddess Right There and she looks like she needs five kinds of medical attention (or maybe botanist's attention) just seems Bizarre to me. Where is your devotion, my guy. The hospitality, the chivalry, the acts of service. Water her or something, I don't know. Make her some kind of memorial? Make her cozy. Get her a pillow, come on, this is a travesty.
