Hurricane Luck and a Change of Plans Ep89
This time on Sailing Intermission we stayed near Savannah to wait for Hurricane Ian to pass. We were very lucky as the storm went around us and sent only some wind and rain our way. When the hurricane was a day away we thought about racing ahead to Charleston. It made a certain amount of sense to do that at the time. We are glad we decided to stay put in Savannah instead. Our hearts go out to those who were impacted by the storm, it was horribly destructive.
Except for a loose connection where the exhaust riser meets the engine, our diesel Cummins 4BT-3.9M received a clean bill of health from the mechanic. Steve wrapped exhaust tape around the connection and secured the tape with a hose clamp. Now, it’s good to go!
With the delays of waiting for a mechanic and staying put during the storm, we decided we will go south and leave Isabella in a safe harbor while we travel to the Annapolis Sailboat Show.

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...
She’s a Gypsy Woman Ep234
We've got gypsy magic! Previously we shared the skipping of our anchor chain as the Lofrans Falkon windlass deployed/pulled up the anchor. We drove to Charleston, South Carolina and picked up the new 376E gypsy that matches our 1/2" G4 anchor chain. It was a little wider than the old gypsy...

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...
