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 pr...
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 ...
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 ...
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. Havi...
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 t...
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...
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...
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 subsc...
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 gallon...
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 p...
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 f...
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. Usi...
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 Si...
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 o...
