We filled up the water tanks just to find out that it was leaking from the fitting in the tank. The second flood was on the engine room when we were filling with anti freezing. We forgot about the breathing tube hidden behind the insulation. So we had a huge flood all over the bilges in the engine r...

Lots to do and no time left. We are booked to go in the water next week on Thursday.
We get stuck in to cleaning the boat and polish the metal bits that we got in the air from other boats. A terrible job that has to be done.
We got on building the steps for the saloon and the back cabin. That look...
Hunkered down between over 400 boats in one anchorage during a blow in George Town, Elizabeth Bay. We are in the beautiful Exumas, thoroughly enjoying what the BAHAMAS has to offer. We visit Calabash Bay and Georgetown, and this is only the beginning. BAHAMAS here we come!!!!

It's been a while Youtube. This is why we decided to stop posting on Youtube.
For those of you that missed us, becoming a Patron enables us to ensure the continuity of Slim & Soph - Sailing Nakama. We've gotta cover the bills somehow and this influenced our decision to take a break ...
With a shortage of cable crimps and sleeving it all gets a bit desperate to finish the electrics.
We then have a bit of a blow when we get the cost for the CE marking for the boat. Apparently we need a Recreational Craft Directive which we didn’t know about. We thought we would be into the 5 years...

Sailing is tough, and often uncomfortable. Anything that makes life easier or more comfortable onboard means you’ll sail more, and enjoy it more.
We’ve had a spinnaker/whisker pole onboard since a fellow sailor donated one to us in Mobile, Alabama. We’ve tried to rig it once or twice, but never had...
We finally put the exhaust system to bed. Our flexible pipe from MasterFlex arrived and Carla and I fit the system together. We are very pleased to have finished that job.
We then move on to the electrics. We wire the whole of the 240 volt system together and most of the negative side of the 12 v...
We experience our first BLUE HOLE diving . . . Quite intimidating when you think there is 202m of water below you and you cannot see the bottom. Sadly in this particular blue hole, quite a number of free divers have lost their lives in recent years. It is so important to undertake these type of d...
We finally get around to cutting the prop shaft and attaching the prop to the engine. We spend some time aligning the two up before moving on to the installation of the exhaust and the heater. Things are getting even more serious now as we are approaching the finishing line.
Carla puts even more...

Isabella gets some new sturdy steps which are sooo much easier and safer for boarding and disembarking. Thanks to Steve’s carpenter skills. This time on Sailing Intermission we get out of our dock, yea, for a bit. Celebrated with dancing and singing in the Atlanti...
We get heavily into the plumbing this week. So many different kind of pipes, it’s unbelievable! We might have around 20 different pipes, would you believe that? We catch up on small jobs and install most of the pipes all over the place. The fuel filler pipe, the holding tank suck out pipe and the ...
What more beautiful than the crystal clear blue waters of THE BAHAMAS!!! Snorkeling where the fish life is still a plenty. And we hook up with a well accomplished delivery skipper PAUL BADENHORST. He's got so much talent and is never shy to share information and know how. What an honor!
A big...
We're off to the BAHAMAS. But the things we encountered during this passage was something you DO NOT WANT TO SEE on the big blue ocean. Real scary stuff.

Need a pick-me-up? A little warmth to perk up the gloomy spring that many of you northern hemisphere-dwellers have been slogging through?
Settle in. We’ve got bright sun, beautiful seas, full sails, heaps of smiles, and of course, a cute baby for you. Hope you enjoy!
Much love,
Lauren, Kirk &...
We visit our last stop in the BVI, Cooper Island, did some provising in Road Town, and when we were ready to check out, BAM, the big C hit Sisu 😔. We got a positive test result.

Boats! If you don't use them regularly they start to break. Well, maybe the boat itself doesn't break but the onboard systems sure don't like a hiatus.
This is one of the reasons (aside from the fact we'd be sailing all the time if we could) we've been using our boat regul...
This week we get in to finishing the Pilot House! The bits that we have been working on for so long are just starting to come up to life. It’s like putting a cherry on the top of the cake and” voilà “… beautiful!The boat is starting to come together at last and feels so good. We are so proud of ours...
The BVI has one surprise after the other, we discovered THE BATHS. And for the first time ever, Frik actually enjoyed . . . . no wait, LOVED hiking. Come join us on this spectacular maize of tunnels and crevasses. And the thought "what if these rocks come tumbling down?" was constantly o...
To our surprise we get ahead of ourselves when Carla gets stuck into the Pilot House this week. She manages to do half of it and then runs out of materials. So we are waiting now to finish but it looks amazing!
Simon gets on fitting out the aft heads, even though we think we are going to finish the...
What a week, Carla gets her thumb caught in the door, Ouch... that hurts! And Simon cut his finger on the circular saw. So yes, luck wasn't really on our side this week.
But we have to keep going as we have a lot of work to be finished in the aft cabin! Things are starting to look much bette...
