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 plug can be torqued off. Visited a nice cove...
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 for some walking exercise and cartwheels. Did...
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. Using the Speedy Stitcher, Steve continued his ta...
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 Singer is heavy duty, we still broke a needle ...
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 on the port side as appropriate and had a great t...
Cats, costumes, and sailing on a Catalina 42 Ep 13
Returning from Galveston, we celebrated Halloween on our Catalina 42 with some catlike reflex costume changes. It was a special Halloween in that it was a full moon which hasn’t happened since 1944 (fact checked), a blue moon and time to turn the clocks back an hour. Had some good winds and did so...
Beach Play, Marinas, Sailboats and Cartwheels Ep 12
We went to Galveston and Kemah to look at other marinas. Saw some sailboats. Walked and danced on the beach, chased a few birds and enjoyed some of Galveston’s historical sites. Who knew Karen could do cartwheels. We looked at a very nice old style sailboat by Formosa. Nicely outfitted, well maint...
Good Winds, Lazy Crew on a Catalina 42 Ep 11
Good winds, some 3 to 4 foot waves, flew just the jib, we could have raised the main, but we were lazy in 20 knot air. The weather was a little cooler yet warmed up enough to wear less. We motored, sailed, and just enjoyed a leisurely time. Caught a fish…again, too small to keep but quite the spinne...
Racing the Catalina 42 Such As It Was Ep 10
2:52 Race is called 4:16 Dancing 4:53 Sailing 10:12 Compass take apart 11:06 Dancing again Our first race on Cakewalk didn’t end up as anticipated. The winds died shortly after race started, it was called off and Karen was pissed. Steve just wanted another glass of wine. We spent the rest of the d...
Islands, Sailing, & Dancing on our Catalina 42 Ep 9
2:38 Karen at the helm and dirty sails 5:22 The island 6:51 Drone shots We sailed to the deserted islands, our dinghy actually held air. Motored it to the shore, saw some great bird footprints in the sand, flew our drone, and Karen worked on her tan lines in a more natural setting. Steve thought sh...
Islands, Bikini, Sailing, and Fishing on a Catalina 42 Ep 8
Karen had her new yellow bikini. Went out to the islands on our Catalina 42, wanted to test the patch on our dinghy and get some drone shots. Unfortunately, on the way out the dinghy went limp. We were disappointed since flying our drone was not an option. It could have been flown off the boat, but ...
Sailing Intermission Intro
We love sailing, partying, dancing, cooking, and sometimes pushing the limits. We started our channel in 2020 featuring Cakewalk, a Catalina 42 sailboat. She had been neglected for quite some time and we did lots of cleaning, sanding, refinishing with new lines, refrigerator, pumps, water heater par...
Hanging, impeller replacement, and anchoring on a Catalina 42 Ep 7
We wanted to goof off but duty calls. Went out for a nice sailing day; on the way back, the engine started to overheat. When the alarm went off, we decided to hobble the rest of the way to the slip. Good thing we had a bit of a tail wind to help between intermittent starting and stopping of the engi...
Sailing on a Catalina 42, checking out the sails and the islands Ep 6
We’re sailing. Karen is looking great in her bikini. Went out on Saturday with little wind. Sunday the air picked up. Used our Kobalt drill and Winch Bit to make our winches electric. Call me lame but it's nice to use when raising the main or even trimming the genoa. Tried sailing to the island...
Catalina 42 fresh water filters Ep 5
Cakewalk has 3 fresh water tanks for a total of 115 gallons. We run all water through carbon filters which need to be changed about every 5,000 gallons. The filters we use block many organics and parasites. Originally this boat had no water filters. We installed 2 GE GXWH04F whole house water filtr...
Cooking Ceviche and Burritos on the sailboat Ep 4
We cook two meals, eat too much, then dance it off. Since we love Tex-Mex the foods of choice were Ceviche and Burritos. Karen started to cook in a bikini and then she decided to put on an apron. Many times we use a Magma Kettle 3 Combination Stove & Gas Grill attached to the rail around the c...
Refitting a Catalina 42 sailboat, dancing and messing around Ep 1
Isolating on the sailboat Cakewalk a Catalina 42. We still like to sail, party, dance, and sometimes push the limits. We have a house but have been living on the sailboat for over 3 months. This sailboat had been neglected for some time when she was purchased. Lots of cleaning, sanding, refinishing,...
Sailboat audio system and lights on the Catalina 42 Ep 3
I changed out a dated audio system on the boat with newer technology. Sony MEX72BT head unit with 20w RMS @ 4ohm/ch to Herdio 4" satellite speakers and a powered 75 w RMS Kenwood KSC-SW11 subwoofer in the salon. A Dual 4 channel (bridged to 2 channel) 120w RMS@8ohm/ch goes to 2 way Kicker KB600...
Cleaning the bilge on a sailboat Ep 2
My least favorite thing to do! Clean the bilge. It's a dirty job but somebody has to do it. We currently have two bilge pumps, a Rule 2000 and a Seaward 750. The 750 is placed lower so it comes on first. The float switch on the 2000 is placed higher so it only comes on if the boat is taking on...
