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

Ci svegliamo verso le 8. Il mare è calmo, il cielo azzurro e c’è poco vento. Decidiamo di tirare su l’ancora subito e metterci in marcia verso San Vito Lo Capo, poche miglia. Il mare ha ancora un po’ di onda morta dai giorni prima a causa del forte vento di ponente che c’è stato. Arriviamo, buttiamo l’ancora e lavoriamo. Pomeriggio all’insegna di call e operatività. Acqua bellissima anche se c’è un po’ di risacca che ci fa rollare all’ormeggio. Verso le 19 ci spostiamo al ridosso del frangiflutti del porto (non potevamo andarci prima perché assalito da mille barchini in gita giornaliera). Riormeggiamo e ci risistemiamo. Mia oggi ha un po’ patito l’onda morta, poi si è fatta una dormita degna dei migliori pisoli da gatto ed è rinata fresca come una rosa, famelica e curiosa😁 Che bello vederla ambientarsi, superare le sue paure, cercare di trovare i suoi posti “sicuri”. Una splendida e coraggiosa gatta marinaia😁 Siamo felici. E non è che l’inizio insieme! Prossima settimana avremo un bel po’ di gente da presentarvi 😄 Ma tempo al tempo, ora ci godiamo le coccole delle mamme♥️ Un bacione e a domani😁 Andre
