Finally, splash day is only two days away! This time on Sailing Intermission we do final prep with anticipation of Isabella going in the water next week. Karen lubed the Max Prop with Lubriplate No. 130-AA multi-purpose calcium type grease. Props like winches need lubing. As we like to say, “Older sailors don’t have a clew when to quit; they just keep lubing their winches.”
Even though we prefer the natural look of the prop, we used antifouling paint to protect the feathering blades from corrosion and barnacles. Soaped up the dinghy which was begging to be washed. Last time we did a deck tour. This time Steve takes us down below for a tour of our home improvements thus far and of course…we did some dancing.
Thanks to our subscribers for their continued support. If you like what you see and haven’t already, please help our channel grow be subscribing.
Join us next time, keeping fingers crossed, for Isabella’s big splash.

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...
Trouble Getting It Up Ep231
Ever have trouble getting it up? Well, yeah we did. In preparation for our move to Texas, we are checking out all essential systems. One of those being our Lofrans Falcon 1700 watt windlass and maneuvering the anchor. The anchor deployed nicely but the windlass couldn’t get it up easily. More to dia...
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...
