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

Sunrise to sunset what a memorable day. We left Loutra, Kythnos, Greece in the am to a stunning sunset and glassed off waters. We had plenty of great sailing at 7 knots with both sails out and an average of 25 knots of wind to help us cross to the mainland and drop anchor in Varis Bay off Varkiza Beach, Greece. We had a quick dip in the sea at sunset to cool off before bed. We will miss our many friends in the Cyclades and Dodacanese but we are excited to be out of the main Meltemi path. Corinth Canal here we come ⛵️🙌🏼
