I Love a Great Hookup Ep156
December 15, 2024 by Sailing Intermission | Language: EN Play Time: 00:13:16 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
Leaving paradise and heading north for winter. It seems a little backwards. We’ve been in the Florida Keys for quite some time and needed a change. Before leaving we checked out systems, safety gear, and more.
Smooth sailing north and decided to stop at Ft. Lauderdale for some additional fuel and us. Gotta love those bascule bridges. We hate going under 65’ fixed bridges since we have a 63’ air draft. Leaving Ft. Lauderdale we had great cruising and then hit some weather. We decided to duck in and found a very nice anchorage. The bottom has great holding and we are well hooked with our 121 pound Rocna anchor. Our Lofrans Falkon windlass is definitely up to the task maneuvering that size of an anchor. We have 200 feet of 1/2 inch chain and the Rocna handles the currents and occasional swells without a problem. Our plants are enjoying sun time in the cock pit.
Once anchored we charged our batteries with 1000 watts of solar and 400 watts of wind generator. We also have a Northern Lights 5 kw generator for backup.
Thanks for viewing.

I Love a Great Hookup Ep156 Locations
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.
