Rip & Racy on a Catalina 42 Ep 31

We repaired the big rip in our mainsail. It was a joint effort as Steve did the stitching and Karen provided juice via the foot pedal. We finished the last part of our interview with Dawn and Joe. Went racing and gave a tenacious test to the tear repair. It turns out the rip in our mainsail was ov...

Grinding Winches, Sailing, and Ripped Main on a Catalina 42 Ep 30

This time on Sailing Intermission lots of grinding, tacking and wind. We had some great sailing and continued our interview with Dawn and Joe. Did more sailing with the first semi-competitive event of the season. A little too much wind, we choose to not reef at 24 knots and ripped our main sail. Yes...

Boom Preventer, Frozen Pipes, Sump Pump on a Catalina 42 Ep 27

We did some sanding, tried to make the sump pump work, and installed a boom preventer. There was also a problem at our house. Artic temperatures caused us to check on the home front. This led us to DIY on the boat and at home. Karen sanded some wood. We primed our old diaphragm sump pump for the day...

Big Winds and Blast from the Past on a Catalina 42 Ep 26

This time on Sailing Intermission we came up against big winds. Reminisced about previous boats: Ericson 27, Catalina 30 and Catalina 38. We also did a big shout out to our subscribers. Naturally, we danced and at times disappeared. Be aware, we have some lame jokes…does anyone remember Rocky and Bu...

Yanmar Oil Change, Orion & Abandoned Boats Ep 25

This time we washed the cockpit, danced, changed the oil, and tried to figure out how or why boats are abandoned. Drank wine, looked at some stars and the Wolf Moon. Had some trouble pumping the oil out of the Yanmar 4JH2E engine on our Catalina 42. The trusty electric pump died so we replaced it ...

Winches, Dancing and Oil on a Catalina 42 Ep 24

Lewmar Ocean 40 ST two speed winches need to be serviced annually. With cold, foggy weather and little to no wind what else do you do but DIY projects. We dismantled the winch and soaked the parts in mineral spirits before giving them a good brushing. Having a Lewmar Winch Servicing Kit No. 7002 on ...

Butterfly, Flags & Up the Mast Ep 23

How do you get rid of butterflies in your stomach? Stop eating caterpillars. This time we added international flags to our cargo. Of course, new flags meant we had to repair the flag halyard and Karen went up the mast on our Catalina 42. Steve inspected the anchor locker. There was quite a bit of w...

Birds, Wood & Wind Ep 22

Lots of bird action this time. Plenty of wind and we did some incredible leaning. Our DIY project was building a handrail on our dock steps for convenient in and out boarding. Ultimately, we hit 7.5 knots with gust up to 22 knots, maybe faster. Steve had to wrestle the wheel through the wind. We h...

Pedicure, weights, and partying on a Catalina 42! Ep 21.

Steve got roped into giving Karen a pedicure. With the weather being so cold and rainy we stayed inside our Catalina 42 getting ready for a New Year's Eve celebration. Weights were added to our exercise routine. It rained all day which was a great test for the rebedding of numerous ports and ha...

Haircut, Pushups and In Irons on a Catalina 42 Ep 20

This week Steve became a hair stylist and trimmed Karen’s hair. Karen did some more exercising. We tried some sailing in very low winds. A holiday greeting. And of course, danced. Karen is so opposite of Karen videos it's not even funny. Thank you subscribers! About us: We sail, fish (haha), ...

Windless, Propane, and Cornbread on a Catalina 42 Ep 19

Let’s hang out…where is the wind? Went out, waited for enough air to raise the sails on our Catalina 42. Wind never happened so we just hung out for a while. Motored back to our slip. Decided to do maintenance. Filled water tanks which hold 115 gallons total. Steve took the 2.5 pound aluminum propa...

Tacky Times and Treating the Transmission on a Catalina 42 Ep 18

We went sailing. Did lots of tacks with some grinding. Drank wine and danced. Changed the oil in our Kanzaki transmission. Had to pump it out due to the drain plug accessibility or lack thereof. We plan on modifying a socket to make it low profile so the plug can be torqued off. Visited a nice cove...

Natural Sailor, Cartwheels and Motorcycles Ep 17

Took the boat out and raised only the jib for a leisurely sail. Karen set a goal of becoming natural sailor. We did a few tacks. Refueled ourselves with some delicious ham sandwiches and then refueled Cakewalk. Went into a dream state. Found a nice cove for some walking exercise and cartwheels. Did...

Dead Trees and Anchoring on a Catalina 42 Ep 16

This time on Sailing Intermission since the other fishing pole is in Davy Jones’ locker, Steve used his new fishing pole and caught our biggest fish yet. Nevertheless, we still let it go to live another day, although it would have made a fine dinner. Using the Speedy Stitcher, Steve continued his ta...

Planking and Jib/Geona Fix Ep 15

This week we exercised and repaired our Jib. The UV cover stitching had come lose. We pulled it down and managed to fit it into the salon. This is when we whipped out our trusty Singer 237 sewing machine with UV coated V69 polyester thread. Although the Singer is heavy duty, we still broke a needle ...

Racing and Ninja Action on a Catalina 42 Ep 14

This time we raced again. The wind was a little better than before. We actually came in 12th… we won’t say how many boats were in the race. Had some difficulty finding the marks, perhaps due to our own ignorance. Finally found them, rounded the marks on the port side as appropriate and had a great t...

Cats, costumes, and sailing on a Catalina 42 Ep 13

Returning from Galveston, we celebrated Halloween on our Catalina 42 with some catlike reflex costume changes. It was a special Halloween in that it was a full moon which hasn’t happened since 1944 (fact checked), a blue moon and time to turn the clocks back an hour. Had some good winds and did so...

Beach Play, Marinas, Sailboats and Cartwheels Ep 12

We went to Galveston and Kemah to look at other marinas. Saw some sailboats. Walked and danced on the beach, chased a few birds and enjoyed some of Galveston’s historical sites. Who knew Karen could do cartwheels. We looked at a very nice old style sailboat by Formosa. Nicely outfitted, well maint...

Good Winds, Lazy Crew on a Catalina 42 Ep 11

Good winds, some 3 to 4 foot waves, flew just the jib, we could have raised the main, but we were lazy in 20 knot air. The weather was a little cooler yet warmed up enough to wear less. We motored, sailed, and just enjoyed a leisurely time. Caught a fish…again, too small to keep but quite the spinne...

Islands, Bikini, Sailing, and Fishing on a Catalina 42 Ep 8

Karen had her new yellow bikini. Went out to the islands on our Catalina 42, wanted to test the patch on our dinghy and get some drone shots. Unfortunately, on the way out the dinghy went limp. We were disappointed since flying our drone was not an option. It could have been flown off the boat, but ...
