    Billy, you might see if you can rebuild the old pump for a spare. It may just need new bearings and a seal or two. It's at least worth checking out. Keep the good stuff coming guys.

    It’s great to see you cruising in calm waters. I was a commercial fisherman in the Atlantic from above Newfoundland and as far south to the Amazon..seen 30-40 ft seas and 100 +mph winds.I’ve told people the ocean can get as calm as a mill pond and they look at me like I’m crazy.glad you had such wonderful conditions!!
    Boat looks great and it’s great to see all your hard work pay off!!
    Fair winds 🛥️

      Grew up on the Outer Banks with commercial fishermen and boat builders in my family. I've seen the Atlantic from mild to wild. Like you said many a day I've seen as flat as flat can be, other days I've seen I was glad I was safely on the beach watching instead of out on it. People that look at you like your crazy just haven't spent enough time near the ocean.

    I work on tugboats in Alaska and the only thing I've found that works for seasickness is making sure you have a good meal and plenty of lemon and ginger tea. No heat in the wheelhouse and look out at the horizon.
    Thanks for sharing your journey. My ketch has a ford lehman in it as well and it's a pain in the butt finding those parts. Glad you got it fixed and on your way

    The lee shore notoriously known as the Graveyard of the Pacific basically runs from Cape Mendocino to Cape Flattery on the tip of Washington. It then continues north up to the Gulf of Alaska. The weather you had for this voyage at this time of year was amazing.

Have learned some things from you guys. Just to add to your GPS info... Yes, I was surprised to learn you don't need any cellular capability on a tablet to run Navionics, just a GPS antenna. I went with a cheap but great $100 Samsung A7 Lite tablet, no cellular, and Navionics works perfectly after downloading the maps as you mentioned. Technology is amazing! -Stay safe.

    Awesome to see the fruits of your labor. It's a beautiful thing that you have accomplished.
    Just a thought, put a new fresh water pump on the other engine and write the date you installed them. Put the "kinda" new one aside as the spare. I would think there should be an approximate amount hours that they should last.
    Cheers and have fun adventuring

  • @MikeBanks2003

    I think that Lehman Diesel engines are marinized Fordson Tractor engines. Most agricultural suppliers of Ford Tractors will have the kit for the pump, and some even an entire exchange pump as long as you bring the old one. If you just buy the kit you will ned access to a press to fit it.

    IF Idont remember wrong .
    Otherwise that route you are doing is nice . I was working on containerships for 10 years and we did that route on the way to Seattle/Vancouver .BC . The weather there can vary from storm to flat sea in hours so you have a great luck ! It's a wondeful place though to route because of the wildlife !

    This was posted four days ago and I couldn't believe that you guys are even considering going further north at this time of year. A quick check of "windy" shows me a couple of weeks of continuous heavy storms from San Francisco all the way to Puget sound, which is normal for this time of year. If you can make it to Eureka and they have a slip(better check ahead, they usually have a waiting list) you might just stay there till April when the storms moderate. May would be even better. You couldn't pay me enough to make that passage at this time of year and I have done it both ways.
