Our Little Secret Ep 212
Goofy jokes, more painting, a secret, broken generator, dancing, several comments
Previously took Isabella out for a spin and turned her around at the dock so we could easily work on the starboard side. Our green "racing" stripe needed some help. We taped plastic between the boat and dock to catch any sanding dust generated. Using the belt sander it was soon ready to paint. Blue taping took almost as long as sanding. Once prepared a coat of Petit one part polyurethane in green was applied. The weather looked great but soon changed as rain delayed the second coat. Pardon our goofy jokes in between.
Still working on the Northern Lights generator. It starts but you have to keep the glow plugs energized for it to continue running, otherwise it dies. Previously replaced all of the relays to no avail. Started bleeding the fuel lines to make sure there is no air in them. Didn't work. Ordered a new oil pressure switch hoping it is the decisive fix. Trial and error. Might eventually have to hire a professional to diagnose it.
Addressed several comments from various episodes and, of course danced.
Hey y’all, our Sony video camera broke and you can help us replace it. Find out more at: https://gofund.me/231be506c

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.

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...
