July 1st-Anchored at the island of Tobacco Caye, Belize we got up early ready to visit the underwater world. There was a strong current in the ocean, so Kristie & David stayed in the dinghy following us as we explored. Being back in the water was pure bliss and an instant calm. The kids were all trying out their new spear guns so us girls tried to stay away from them as best as we could. #sailinglife#underwateradventures#snorkelingparadise#spearfishinglife#fishingtrip#catamaranlife#oceanexplorer#freedivinglife#bluewaterhunter#snorkeldaily#sailaway#deepseafishing#underwaterworld#reellife#spearfish#sailingadventure#tropicalwaters#fishon#oceanaddict#snorkelvibes#catchoftheday#saltlife#underthesea#fishinglifestyle#sailtheworld#spearfishinggear#coralreef#sailingfamily#scubasnorkel#oceanlife

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

Prepare. Make sure you're ready. Make sure you're boat's ready. Have the tools you think you'll need, know how to use them, and know how to troubleshoot.
