Storms Smiles and Sea Miles Ep197
sailboat life, sailing vlog, cruising sailboat, boat repairs, liveaboard sailing, Florida sailing, fishing from sailboat, sailing channel, Sailing Intermission
Life aboard our sailboat Isabella slows down while we deal with a stubborn exhaust leak—one of those boat repairs that always seems to take longer than expected. Boat life often means custom parts, patience, and learning to enjoy the pause. While docked, we try a little fishing with our new two-piece rod and trusty Penn Senator reel, joking about landing a 500-pound bluefin tuna. With shrimp for bait and optimism in the air, Karen promises a celebration if Steve catches a fish… though she won’t say what kind.
As the new year gets underway, Karen finally removes the Christmas lights from Isabella, and we take time to reflect on both our eventful and peaceful sailing adventures. Steve even sings a few bars of “Good Morning Starshine”—don’t worry, music producers, no competition here.
After roughly 1,500 nautical miles of sailing, we’ve learned that cruising has plenty of highs and lows. Long days and nights under sail can be exhausting, but there’s something uniquely rewarding about the cruising lifestyle. Our journeys have taken us through the Florida Keys, Cape Canaveral, Savannah, Brunswick, Jacksonville, Stuart, West Palm Beach, and beyond. And yes—we’re convinced Fort Lauderdale is jinxed for us.
If you enjoy real-life sailboat cruising, honest boat repairs, fishing attempts, and the ups and downs of life aboard, welcome to Sailing Intermission.

Sailing Intermission
Featuring the sailboat Isabella, a Super Mikado 56 made by the French shipyard CNSO. Sailing, partying, dancing, cooking, and sometimes pushing the limits. This sailboat had been neglected for some time when she was purchased. Lots of cleaning, sanding, refinishing, new lines, refrigerator, pumps, water heater parts, whole boat water filters, bow thruster, lighting, fuel filters, instruments, air conditioning, etc.... Some of the fun with refitting a sailboat is to be able to do economical but quality improvements. Elbow grease saves a lot of money, watching for sales, knowing when substitutions can be made that will last, and of course enjoying the final product. We sail, fish (haha), dance, fly the drone, sometimes wear bikinis, DIY, ride the motorcycle, listen to great music, and enjoy life. Older sailors don't have a clew when to quit; they just keep lubing their winches.
