Bald Kitty and Dripping Wet Ep141
Welcome back Sailors, Bald Kitty & Dripping Wet here! We’re diving deep into the latest episode of our marine escapades, full of adventure, and boaty delights.
Barnacle-Battling Boat Dinghy Maintenance
Ever find a stubborn barnacle or two clinging to your dinghy after a swim or sail? We sure have! When we were pulling our trusty dinghy back on board, it was apparent that our recent adventures had taken their toll. But fear not, for we’ve got some tips and tricks up our sleeves.
A Quick Clean-up
After discovering a few sharp barnacles hiding beneath, Karen skillfully managed the boat’s motor as Steve pulled it up and secured it to its new, fortified tower. This setup is a game-changer in terms of usability and efficiency when switching between the sailboat and the outboard.
Dinghy Dive and Boat Races
The anticipation was building as we set off towards the boat races with Isabella by our side. As much as we’d have loved to hop on Hayabusa for an exciting motorcycle ride, we opted for a cooler journey.
Racing With Style
The boat races were nothing short of exhilarating. The sleek vessels cutting through the water with finesse and elegance, reminding Steve of a cat leaping gracefully with feline poise. The similarity was uncanny, even prompting comparisons to ‘Bald Py,’ a beloved member of our sea-faring crew.
Sailing Life Interlude
Necessity may have dictated our stopover in Miami for car trouble and Hayabusa delivery, but that didn’t mean we let the fun moment pass us by. Visiting family in San Diego and Dallas, a taste of Tex-Mex cuisine including decadent biscuits and fried okra with pickled jalapeños, and shopping for new motorcycle boots all made it an unforgettable detour.
New Ventures Ahead
We’ve since arrived back in the keys with Hayabusa now making its grand entrance into our marine fleet. But the real question remains, what’s next for Bald Kitty & Dripping Wet? Stay tuned to find out!

Upside down jellyfish, boat races, dinghy ride, new bikini, Hayabusa motorcycle (aka the Busa). Our AC keeps getting clogged with jellyfish. Luckily the jellyfish numbers seem to be going down as the temperatures rise.
We were able to catch the Race World Offshore 7-mile Offshore Grand Prix boat races, so cool. Karen got a new bikini, we went for a dinghy ride and she went for a swim to try it out. The barnacles on the dinghy bottom cut Karen's thigh. She kept antibiotic ointment on it for a few days. Good as new now.
Travel plans took us to San Diego and Dallas to visit family and bring back Steve's Hayabusa motorcycle. Thank you to everyone who weighed in on whether we should sell or keep the Busa. He couldn't stop smiling after driving the bike off of the trailer.
Karen flexed her muscles bringing up the dinghy. She didn't need a winch thanks to the 7:1 pulley purchase.

Sailing Intermission
Featuring the sailboat Isabella, a Super Mikado 56 made by the French shipyard CNSO. Sailing, partying, dancing, cooking, and sometimes pushing the limits. This sailboat had been neglected for some time when she was purchased. Lots of cleaning, sanding, refinishing, new lines, refrigerator, pumps, water heater parts, whole boat water filters, bow thruster, lighting, fuel filters, instruments, air conditioning, etc.... Some of the fun with refitting a sailboat is to be able to do economical but quality improvements. Elbow grease saves a lot of money, watching for sales, knowing when substitutions can be made that will last, and of course enjoying the final product. We sail, fish (haha), dance, fly the drone, sometimes wear bikinis, DIY, ride the motorcycle, listen to great music, and enjoy life. Older sailors don't have a clew when to quit; they just keep lubing their winches.
