We have sailed from St Martin in the Caribbean to Horta in the Azores. 28 days at sea, 2538 nautical miles, 1 broken lower shroud and an oil leak in the engine. We arrived safely in Horta, Faial, Azores and dropped anchor. A beautiful island with really friendly people. Thank you to all of you who support us. We really appreciate every one of you 😁❤️
Just look at that #seaturtles strong beak, as it tears off the vegetation with ease. This endangered species’ strong jaw and beak are tremendously tough, it can bite and tear through the rugged, fibrous structure of #seagrass and #algae. Their jaws are also adapted to a grinding motion, allowing them to use this motion to break down the rough fibers of the vegetation into smaller pieces that are easier to digest and efficiently consume plant material as much as they can in one bite. Wanna see their amazing habit like this? or possibly another fascinating moment when they sleep, or are just chillin’ effortlessly on a coral reef?

While crossing the Mona Passage, 35 nautical miles offshore, we ran into trouble with our Yanmar 4JH4E. We were motoring in light winds when we noticed a change in the exhaust pitch — turns out, seawater wasn’t flowing properly. We checked the impeller and, strangely, it looked intact… but it could spin freely by hand — not a good sign. After getting towed back to our anchorage at midnight (huge thanks to Michael, who came out and saved us!), we dug deeper and discovered that the gear inside the old water pump had worn down badly. It turns out the pump wasn’t making full contact with the internal gear, likely due to an aftermarket impeller and shallow gear engagement. We ordered a new OEM water pump from R&B Power in San Juan, and they were awesome — super responsive and got us the part
