Redhead Ep203
Strange red head, beach, dolphins, sunbathing, medicine chest, water pump, abandoned boats
You never know what you’ll see on Sailing Intermission. Steve and Karen, at different times, both get a visit from a mysterious red headed woman. She says her name is Scarlet. Who is she????
The weather is getting warmer and we venture out to the beach. The wind picks up and Karen ends up chasing and grabbing a bouncing beach ball several times. We decided to cut the beach fun short and go home. Less wind and Karen finds some time to sunbathe on deck while several dolphins happen to swim by Isabella. They are so graceful and beautiful to watch.
The water pump has been coming on intermittently without water coming through any faucets. Thinking there was a leak, we have been searching all over, under sink cabinets, in the showers, etc to locate where the leak is occurring. This week the water pump stopped working. Steve replaced it with a new 5 gallon per minute Jabsco fresh water pump. Thank goodness there was a spare on board. And an amazing bonus! It fixed the problem of the unexplained intermittent pump action. Apparently, the old water pump had a broken sensor which caused it to come on without any water faucet being active. Yea, new pump, no leak, happy couple.
The medicine chest in the forward shower was looking a bit rough. Steve sanded and applied several coats of polyurethane to the wood facing. Now it looks brand new.
Walking around the marina we noticed several boats in various stages of disrepair. We’ve mentioned this before and it still puzzles us as to why people let their boats sit, sometimes for years, without ever using or even visiting them. It’s sad and costly as marina slips are a monthly expense.

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...
