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

Dopo qualche peripezia (il vento e mare non volevano farci arrivare a Civitanova) ci siamo ormeggiati presso la lega Navale di Ancona.

How do YOU stay fit offshore? Here's Mia being a badass on our last trans-Atlantic in 2017, getting in her astronaut pushups while a BIG 10-15-foot sea was running in about 30-35 knots of wind. Want to sail on ISBJORN and see if you can beat the pushups record? Go to 59-north.com/offshore to book a passage with Andy & Mia. Music by Storm Weather Shanty Choir.

Coming back from a weekend in Galveston we were only 3 or 4 miles from home port. Entering Galveston Bay we saw this storm approaching. Sailing with just the jib we hoped we could out run it but decided it was better to be out in the open water when it hits so we just rolled in the jib and when it hit turned away from it. No waves to speak of so decided to keep the rain out of our faces. We put the dog down below and waited for it to hit. It hit with 36 knot winds but they died down to the high 20s. The squall only lasted 10 minutes or so and when it passed we headed home. It was our first experience of a storm although not at sea as such so this was a baby storm. The first of many to come in our sailing lives I'm sure.
