Exercise, jump rope, jumping jacks, life jackets, Magma grill, dancing, comments.
Hello subscribers and viewers. We’re so glad you have visited us here on Sailing Intermission. Your interactions through viewing, commenting and asking questions truly keep us afloat. Love those comments and some are featured in this episode. Some are funny, others informative and several are creative and poetic. Steve is in the dark as to which ones Karen has selected which makes it extra fun.
Safety is always paramount on Isabella. Our inflatable life jackets are of an unknown age. They typically last five to eight years; time to test and replace. We inflate one of the inflatables while we went ahead and bought two new jackets. What can we say...they were having a great sale at West Marine and just couldn’t resist. They are Coast Guard approved, 35 pound buoyancy with a harness and were half priced. There is some exercise going on. We bought the new inflatable life jackets and tested an older one. Always nice to exercise safety practices and Karen does a small workout.
Keeping things hot! The burner for our Magma grill finally became available after being out of stock. The old one rusted out and actually broke in half! Steve replaces the burner and we celebrate by having a gourmet meal of high quality hot dogs. Yummy. Having the Magma back in action is such a thrill we had to grill again, this time with some delicious rib eye steaks. Precooked a bit below and then grilled to perfection on deck.
Huge hugs and kisses to all our subscribers, we can’t emphasize enough how much we appreciate y’all. Thanks to everyone who stopped to view our channel and we would love for you to become subscribers.

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.

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...
