Journey Soon Adventure Chaos Ep236
We’ve been planning for quite some time and now it seems it’ll be just a couple of weeks before beginning our journey from Georgia to Texas. It’ll be quite the adventure, and it brings about mixed emotions of excitement and concern. You never know what will happen when you are out in the Atlantic Ocean or Gulf.
Still preparing for the move, Steve installed the Garmin GC100 camera in the engine room. It used to sit on the bow and now will allow us to check on the engine and other equipment while underway from the cockpit.
It is always a good idea to have extra fuel on hand. We have purchased four new five-gallon jerry cans for that purpose. With the existing one that will give us about 25 gallons of extra fuel. The Midwest cans seem to last the longest and they have an extra handle making it easier to pour fuel into the tank.
Boats can get so dirty after only a week or so and Isabella is no exception. Using our new gizmo, a foam gun for the hose, we give her deck a good cleaning. It makes it easier to have soap dispensed automatically through the hose without having to deal with a separate bottle of soap.
Thank you to all our subscribers and viewers, y’all truly keep us going. Your comments and support make us smile.
We live aboard S/V Isabella, a Super Mikado 56 built in France by C.N.S.O. (Constructions Nautiques du Sud-Ouest). Isabella is a 1990/2010 sailing ketch with four private cabins, an engine room, a salon, a galley, and three heads with two separate shower stalls. Her fiberglass hull is designed for bluewater cruising, with an excellent capsize ratio of 1.68 and a very good comfort ratio of 42.19. She is equipped with Garmin and Raymarine electronics and hydraulic steering.
Isabella was designed by naval architect Michel Bigoin, who also designed Phocea. Built in 1976, the 246-foot, four-masted steel schooner was considered the world’s largest private sailing yacht until 2004.

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...

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...
