⛵Sailing Britaly⛵ We are Chris (British), Rossella (Italian), and Emma (Britalian!) We make informative sailing videos to help you achieve your cruising dreams. Subscribe, it's FREE! 🔔 http://bit.ly/SBYouTube⛵ You can expect to see the following kind of videos from us on our sailing channel: • Sailing Finances - We run a tight budget and we fund our cruising with our freelance jobs. Over the years we have been working to build flexibility into our lives and grow some simple investments. We intend to share all this with you. • Sailing Vlogs [a.k.a. Episodes] - These are our 'proper' sailing vlogs, where we share the highs and lows of our cruising adventures. • Latest Updates - Videos sharing what we've been up to recently. • Boat Work [Boat Maintenance] - I (Chris) am an ex-armed forces aircraft engineer (think car mechanic on jets [including a tour on The Red Arrows] and helicopters) and now work offshore piloting and maintaining ROVs (underwater robots). We aim to share what I have learnt since 1998 when I started working as an Engineering Technician. • Boat Recipes - We intend to make boat recipe videos where we will share Rossella's simple and delicious boat food ideas. • Yachtmaster Theory and Seamanship - Although we consider ourselves to be novice sailors, I have been working offshore (at sea - mostly on vessels, sometimes on platforms) since 2006. Since then, some years I have spent more days at sea than I have on land. I have also studied and passed the examination for the RYA Yachtmaster Theory qualification. We intend to share what we have learnt so far in our videos, to help people learn more about sailing, and the sea in general. If any of the above subjects interest you then subscribe to our channel!

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
