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

Back in December of 2012 I got to play with the fish in Nassau diving with Stuart Cove's. I've been a certified diver for over 20 years. We were in Nassau for my birthday weekend. While Amy is deathly afraid of sharks, Sean loves them. Diving with Stuart Cove's is safe and easy. There were strict rules which are mostly for the sharks safety. More humans kill sharks each day than shark kill humans all year.

I minute tour of the Bali Catsmart catamaran at the International Multihull Show in La Grande Motte. This 38 footer from @BaliCatamarans has twin aft helms and loads of space for hanging out. It's the new baby of the range. #catamarans #sailing #boatshow #balicatamarans
