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

Our next Iona video is almost finished! Sadly, we can't cruise all the time, however we are very lucky to live in sunny Devon 😀 Our home county is a truly beautiful place, and millions come to visit every year. As well as cruise and travel vlogs, we will be bringing you a Devon vlog series where we explore the many many incredible things to see and do. We will also be giving some local tips and tricks, as well as a few hidden gems that may not be in the average tourist guidebook 😊 #shorts

Day 11 of our Christmas calendar brings you into the forward head, a clever little space where you have everything you need. A rule of thumb on board a boat is that everything should have at least two functions. The faucet is a great example of that! 🌟 You use it for washing your hands, just like at home, but this one also turns into your shower head! The main difference from the aft head? Here, the shower and sink are combined, making the most of the limited space. After your shower, you will pump out the water using the switch and then the pump will turn on and pump it out to the sea 🌊 What do you think? Could you manage in a head like this on board? Let us know! 💬 🎥 Don’t miss tomorrow’s episode, where we dive deeper into the systems behind the scenes. #YouTubeShorts #Explore #TravelVlog #Vloggers #DailyLife #ChristmasCalendar #Vlogmas #ChristmasOnBoard #Beneteau44cc #Sailing #Liveaboard #LifeAtSea
