okay we came in late last night

landed in bodega bay around well it was

exactly 10 o'clock

had a full moon it was actually a

what a nice run just like

the last couple runs we've had it's been

light and variable winds for the first

half of the day

and then as soon as we hit a cape or a

point and and

head around it the winds pick up in the

afternoon

we were hitting 15 to 25 knots of wind

for the second half of the day and it

was a it was a speed run for us we made

some good time

we were averaging after point arena

about seven plus knots we actually

tapped

deep into the tens a few times so it was

exciting

we did have a little incident though you

know we

had to motor sail the first half of the

day

and we developed a little vibration in

the port engine

so we shut that engine down and

just right as we were shutting it down

the wind was picking up so it was no big

deal

i went down there about an hour later

and the water pump

had blown a bearing

so water came in luckily we shut it down

fast enough

so we ended up sailing all the way into

the bay last night we didn't go in

inside the harbor here the breakwater is

right over here

we sailed right into this beautiful

anchorage dropped a hook

there was probably 25 fishing boats

maybe a few more here

that we were anchored all around they've

all since picked up and they're heading

out

a little foggy this morning but it's

supposed to clear off

i'm gonna change out the water pump this

morning

then we'll head in to the harbor

i slept so good last night i think

everybody did

at anchor but what an amazing sale

of course we would have liked the wind

to pick up a lot sooner than it did

i'm not complaining and i absolutely

love night sailing

especially when the skies are clear and

it's a full moon

teal likes it too but

he actually does not like night sailing

but it doesn't matter it works out for

us because he doesn't mind doing the day

shifts and i don't mind doing the night

shifts but

with the engine having issues

we actually sailed into the anchorage

which was

a first for us especially at night in an

anchorage that

we have never been to right we've never

been here

um you and i have not been here

teal has but i have it i've been here in

the 70s with my father

that doesn't count yeah anyway so

it was um it's just it was like perfect

every single time

we pull into an anchorage it's just

blowing stink

and then as soon as we drop the anchor

it just kind of calms down

so it was uh it was pretty cool yeah it

was a long day and we just

oh we stacked out so it was good teal is

removing the old pump and putting in our

old spare

so then we can get into port i got a lot

to do because i have to find the part

and get it shipped here

in time it's uh the holiday weekend so

i'm hoping that they're able to

or i'm hoping i can find it and they can

ship it out to us as soon as possible

it's a messy job it's not so bad

just a little sea water got sprayed up

on the engine so i'm cleaning all this

out

i want to make sure this engine stays

nice and clean

i'm just gonna enjoy my coffee

[Music]

do

[Music]

okay thank you so much i really

appreciate you calling us back

all right thank you bye

so did i get that right they don't your

wife is

awesome well that's what i meant

okay bottom line they don't make those

pump anymore that's what i heard

but they have a replacement that's

better and uh there's a reason why they

don't make this anymore it's because it

has

problems with it well you know what we

got a good life out of both of our pumps

um we got we lose that first pump in

where were we

it was up in the san juans i don't know

friday harbor it was friday harvard was

it yeah

so on our run from lopez over to uh

friday harbor here

i watched it real careful and i noticed

there was a small drip

coming out of the water pump and then

this one to here so

they both 1200 to 1300 hours plus on

each one that's not too bad

but you know when i was doing the

research it was kind of it was hard

actually because we normally go to

fisheries

and for whatever reason i could not find

it and then i went to defender

they didn't have it they have all the

other models for this pump

except for this one so um

having somebody call me back on friday

was amazing because

every customer service person that i

talked to prior to this one

just didn't have an answer who was it

ryan from

big blue ocean marine called me back he

is based out in vancouver bc

but he has a warehouse in fort

lauderdale and he explained

why this one the oem product

just had some issues with it so they

redesigned it it's still

johnson pump but this one kind of covers

a lot more

and that's the pump you ordered it is

the one that i ordered and

he said that the rebuild kit for this

one is actually more expensive than the

new pump and the new pump will not break

down

as quickly as this one did okay so

um and then if that works out then i'll

order another one from them

yeah that's what i would say perfect so

pretty cool i am amazed that he called

me back when do we get it

um well it's a holiday weekend yeah so

uh hopefully we'll get it tuesday or

wednesday but in the meantime i want to

explore

yeah so it's perfect so

yay my job's done and mine's just

starting

not yet well we have a few days so yeah

so it's just time to just kind of

decompress and relax and have some fun

let's go check this place out

parts are on order it's going to be a

couple days before we get it

so might as well explore this area

before we head out

and i really wanted to do the bodega

head trail supposed to be an amazing

spot with spectacular views

only this morning it was sunny and as

soon as we get to the top

the fog rolls in so can't really see

anything

but that's okay because it's about a

five to six mile

trail walk yeah from the marina to here

it's already been

four miles yeah and it's just nice to

kind of shift our legs get some exercise

in

a fresh foggy air

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

so this trip so far going down the coast

has not been ideal

quite frankly it's pretty much sucked

weather-wise

but the people that we have met along

the way have been

so amazing especially the fishermen

every single time we pull into port you

know

these guys work their tails off in

really bad conditions

they don't really have the luxury of

hanging out in

in the harbors when the

conditions are kind of gruesome out

there and

every single time they come in we catch

up with them

they give teal and emma a lot of tricks

and

and kind of pointers on fishing and they

are

so so generous we are so happy it

started out in nia bay

and it just kind of went from there i go

to check in

and come back with this huge halibut

look at this look at this filet we were

talking to a local fisherman

named daryl and we were getting to talk

about fish

and i mentioned that i like steelhead

and look what he got us

hans halvor just pulled in this morning

because they were out there overnight

and

they brought over this monster crab

yeah so thanks for the cod so what was

your name what's your name darren

darren yep marilyn j marilyn jay

thanks for the con absolutely i hope you

enjoy your black cod

we got a knock on the boat and red

from the slammer decided to be even more

generous

and brought us some fresh dungeness

crab

there you go wash them up you're good to

go oh my gosh that looks so

amazing thank you so much

you're welcome now what kind of fish is

this is that's the king

yeah a little one i think i'm a little

excited

if at any point that i get fish either

from teal and emma catching it or from a

local fisherman

everything stops i swear to god it's

just this just

makes my day and i can probably make i

don't know

four or five meals out of this so i'm

gonna portion it out and put some

in the freezer and make something great

with it tonight

so the pump's in you know i gotta hand

it to lynn

she is a logistical wizard when it comes

to getting parts for us

only took two days we have a replacement

pump

you know i'm real curious to see whether

this

new pump is compatible with our old pump

i'm not worried

[Music]

well maybe a little we'll see

[Music]

before i crack this open i need to get

this mounting bracket

off of our old pump

okay that came apart pretty easy you

know

after looking at this i don't know if

it's a bearing or a seal there is a

little bit of play in here

just wondering what it was that caused

that injured vibration

well regardless you know looking at

our log of the yacht here this lasted

1367 hours

our starboard pump went out after 1241

hours so real

similar life spans well let's get this

thing

cracked open and hopefully these specs

are close enough we can get it installed

okay after comparing these pumps they

look real similar

the new pump is a little bit more robust

housing

and the biggest difference i found was

the offset

from the mounting bracket to the wheel

it's about two hundredths off

that could be the modification that was

needed

to make this a better pump okay let's

get this

installed i think it's gonna work

well that's comforting the new pump

lined right up to the mounting bracket

looks like everything's going to slide

right in

water pumps in now

for the other belt this one's a little

trickier

it's kind of like one of those coffee

table puzzles

gotta figure out

what to release to get this on here

now it's just a matter of tensioning the

alternator

putting the cowling back on getting the

hoses back on the water pump and firing

it up

almost there to put tension

on the alternator i think it's odd that

yanmar there's three

bolts that you have to tighten one's a

12 millimeter

one's a 13 millimeter and one's a 15

millimeter

go figure

looks like everything's hooked up

correctly

[Music]

i just primed the raw water intake

i'll open up the through hole fitting

and test fire

okay emma are you ready i'm ready

okay i want you to start the port engine

okay

start import engine

okay that looks real good go ahead and

kill the port engine

looks like we're ready to go okay
