Offshore Sailor Needs Advice
Has anyone else been following this? He's three days out from CA and lost his self steering. Maybe someone here could offer some advise.

Welcome to the Open Blue Horizon | Open Blue Horizon | Have,

"Things are deteriorating very very quickly aboard La Cenicienta. I no longer have self steering. I tried jury-rigging the steering hub about 6 seperate times yesterday, but I spend more time doing that while hove to, than under sail. I was going to put on the emergency tiller and rig up the wind vane to it, but I can't figure out how to get one piece off of my steering system, so I can't mount the tiller. I know, I know, I should have done all these things before I left, and familiarized myself with the boat. I didn't. It looks like I will have to hand steer to Hawaii."
