It's a Deja Vu Anchorage Ep160
As we sat comfortably in the cockpit of our sailboat, a glass of wine in hand, relaxing and enjoying the breathtaking view. The air is a little crisp, as we watch fast-flying birds cut through the wind, their graceful movements adding to the sense of tranquility.
Inside the VIP head, a new teak backsplash enhances its appearance, giving the space a refined touch. The galley has also been updated with a specially designed board to keep dishes secure while we're underway, adding practicality without compromising style.
After finally making it into a boatyard, the team thoroughly inspected our fuel system for any diesel and air leaks. They discovered a reversed O-ring on the primary filters, which they corrected. In addition, one of our engine mounts had slipped, but the technicians carefully repositioned it within specifications and checked the engine/shaft alignment, which was excellent (within 0.002”). With the repairs made, we set off into the Atlantic, heading north, eager to continue our voyage. However, just three hours into our trip, the engine unexpectedly died once again, forcing us to be towed back to the same anchorage we had departed from—an all-too-familiar feeling of déjà vu.
Undeterred, Karen kept herself busy straightening some lines and sanding a man-overboard pole. Of course, we found time to dance, finding joy in the little moments despite the setbacks.

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...

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...
