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

It starts as an adventure to the middle of nowhere… and ends as one of those journeys you’ll never quite get over. Our 12-day Banda Sea expedition took us through ancient spice islands, over dramatic reefs, and to nutmeg plantations that have stood for generations. Each dive and sail became a story worth remembering. To the crew and guests who made it all so special — thank you for the laughter, the spirit, and the endless stories shared on deck. And to our videographer Robin LeCoutre, thank you for capturing the heart of this journey so beautifully through your lens. Until the next voyage ! #Jakare #JakareLiveaboard
