Bald Kitty and Dripping Wet Ep141
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.

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!

He Likes It Slippery Ep233
We are jumping for joy this week! Making progress on voyage preparations (Georgia to Texas) and having success with some of last week’s failures. Thank you to our subscribers and viewers who offered helpful suggestions and thoughts regarding the issues on the Lofrans Falkon windlass that was featur...
Hard & Wet Ep232
Gremlins on board???? We’re starting to think so as two main DIY projects have yet to be completed. This week has been a bit trying to say the least. The gypsy on the Lofrans windlass has always skipped a little when bringing up the anchor. Over time it has gotten much worse. We think it is a misma...
Trouble Getting It Up Ep231
Ever have trouble getting it up? Well, yeah we did. In preparation for our move to Texas, we are checking out all essential systems. One of those being our Lofrans Falcon 1700 watt windlass and maneuvering the anchor. The anchor deployed nicely but the windlass couldn’t get it up easily. More to dia...
Get Lucky Ep 230
Wanna get down and dirty; maybe get lucky? Well, that’s what Karen asked Steve as she tried to get him to take a break from working in the owner's cabin. The reverse cycle unit there has often needed a slight boost provided by a gentle breeze from a Ryobi battery operated fan directed at the th...
Squirting Out All Over Ep229
Oh no, holes in the boat! It always makes us very nervous to cut holes into Isabella even if they are above the waterline. Yet, that's what it takes to install the Atwood 238 helm chair. A big ol’ 3-1/4” hole in the cockpit floor right over the engine. To add extra support, Steve made a backin...
