Are we swingers?...the truth comes out in this episode. No spoiler alert here, you’ll just have to watch the video to find out if we swing.

Steve takes the Hayabusa out for a ride. It’s been a while and the bike started up immediately. It was ready to get out of storage and get on the road again.
Two boat projects this week. The wind transducer, a Garmin gWind1, on the main mast quit working. Although Karen does occasionally go up the mast, we hired a rigger this time to travel to the top of the mast and grab the instrument. Hopefully, it is still under warranty and can be repaired or replaced quickly. A few episodes earlier, we fixed a leak on deck that was caused by a cable clam. The ceiling in the crew cabin had to be partially cut out in order for the leak to be diagnosed. Steve custom made an access panel to close the hole in the ceiling.
A few dolphins swam by while we were working on deck. They are so graceful and it’s always a thrill to see them and hear air escaping from their blowholes. Also thrilling was the firework display we experienced off Isabella's bow while in dock. Several boats cruised by slowly which added to the picturesque view.
We did a little sightseeing by visiting a National Monument that was instrumental in the early 1860’s by successfully testing the newest technology of that time, rifled cannons. Can you guess which fort we visited?*
Talking on deck we answered a couple of questions from viewers and talked about our future plans. Our lease is over in October. We will probably cruise south all the way to Texas. Wait and see…
Naturally, we did some dancing as we love moving to music. Thank you for viewing this video. Subscribers, you know we love and appreciate y’all; you truly keep us going. Viewers thank you for watching and remember it only takes a second to subscribe. Hoping to see everyone next time.

Pump It Ep238
Dang, dang, dang!!! Isabella’s packing gland needs to be adjusted and our journey to Texas is now delayed. Steve’s been soaking the lock nut for the packing gland so that it can be loosened easily. The issue is that should that break or there start to be a leak; a whole lot of water would come rushi...
Our Groovy Kind of Love Ep237
One week before we leave…weather permitting. We are just one week away from our Georgia to Texas cruise.

See in the Dark Ep235
Out on the water after dark, what you can’t see ahead of the bow can be the biggest danger. This week, we set out to give Isabella eyes in the night—and the result was remarkable. After mounting our new bow camera in the last video, we connected it to the Garmin 8610 chartplotter. That meant Karen c...
