We were about twenty miles away, and it was getting dark. The wind had dropped so I started my engine. But it was not running right. I spent several hours trying to purge the injectors. It didn’t work. Thorfinn kept on helming. It seemed like the Gods wanted us to ...
Hey, we entered a wet T-shirt contest. Just kidding, we did have some water fun rinsing Isabella's hull. Being inspired by having our fuel tank so clean, we decided to clean our water tank. It went surprisingly well, even with 28 nuts to remove and reassemble. The current fiddle block on the ma...

We say "Au revoir" to all the beautiful people I met in Dakar. The dilema for us sailors. But "Au revoir" means "See you". We head out in the afternoon to beat the fishermen who lay out their nets in the late afternoon. But they wer...
Wow! Engine problem solved (fingers crossed), how exciting! We had our fuel polished and the fuel tank completely cleaned. The engine purrs like a kitten and we’re hoping no more fuel delivery issues. It was a wonderful discovery process and lots of information was revealed about our tank. Such as:

I wanted to do some shopping at the popular Colombane market. So the ladies, Chantal and Sorna offered to take me there to protect me and to help in negotiating. When they see a foreigner the prices double. We still got some fair deals. And the oil leak on my P...
I hope you don't think that I'm into sex❤️ too much, haha. Steve replaced the fuel line to the engine. Finally got the engine started despite the crap in our fuel tank. We are waiting on our 2nd fuel polishing and have treated the fuel tank with a chemical additive they provided. Hopefull...
Still waiting for the Cummins mechanic and trying to keep in shape by going to the gym. Steve did do some diagnostics and found the it was a fuel delivery problem. Even though we had our fuel polished and tank cleaned a month ago there still seems to be some debris that is clogging up our fuel hose....
We ended up restoring our refrigerator to its former glory. New glides made all of the difference. Karen got a little too excited. Our VIP head countertop was really dated. For better or worse we applied a one part epoxy paint to it. It turned out OK. We'll see how durable it is.
Spring is in...
#sailing #solosailing #collision
I was motor sailing fast at seven plus knots. I wanted to beat the sunset so I could anchor in daylight. But then I had to get through this monumental maze of fishing nets until I hit a dead end. This was bad. Very bad. With forceful wind and smashing waves, I manag...
Isabella's engine issues are still not solved and it leaves us with lots of time to organize and do some DIY.
We spruced up our closet, ha-ha, and junked it out again. Steve worked on the diverter valve in the VIP head. He started to strip paint from and refinished the African mahogany in the...
#sailing #offgrid #solosailing
We were underway. Just me and Galopin. This would be my first long solo passage. I felt I needed this challenge. To get to know myself and my boat. Being alone puts you more in touch with your environment. Your reality. It’s just you, your boat and the ocean. It can be...

Meet Marizia, probably the coolest sailor girl ever. We've been friends for a long time, and I asked her if we could do a quick one on one interview. She talks candidly about her new job and too much partying in Sao Vicente. And she gives an inside peek...
We serviced the Meissner winches and had our fuel and fuel tank polished. The engine ran well and we thought we were good to go so we headed for points south. Unfortunately, only a few minutes after leaving the current marina our engine stopped. We were towed back to the marina. Hopefully we will be...
We’ve done some cleaning on a bilge and installed a light fixture in the VIP stateroom. Also did some updates to the medicine chests and replaced the shaft/prop zinc. Leaving Brunswick and heading south to Cape Canaveral. Unfortunately, we took a slight detour due to engine troubles. We had to be to...

I’m Alex. I’m not pretty or an accomplished sailor. I don’t have a pension or a deep bank account to rely on. I departed alone one cold February day from the south of France to Barcelona. And continued along the Spanish coast to Tangiers Morocco. I went on to the Canary ...
#sailing #offgrid #livingfree #seasick
It's a new year in Mindelo and people are back out on the streets to celebrate as well as aboard Galopin. I get ready to sail to Dakar and this time I'm going solo. The wind is more than anticipated and I get really seasick. My autopilot gives out an...
#sailing #offgrid #hitchhikers
Galopin and I took on Jonathan, a Belgian boat hitchhiker to sail from Dakar Senegal to Mindelo Cabo Verde. And I spent Christmas Day with him out on the ocean.

We decided to do some detailing on Isabella, a little wet paint and some improvements to the flooring. The cockpit floor was sanded, painted and then covered with interlocking Dri-Dek tiles.
Down below in the cabins and saloon areas we had previously painted small areas of exposed fiberglass. This...

When Galopin was sailing with the motor under load I heard and felt something was not right. And it was Arona, the genius mechanic who discovered why. The propeller shaft was bent. In a few days my boat got properly shafted by Arona at CVD yacht club in Dakar Senegal.

This time on Sailing Intermission we reflect on the year 2022. We’ve picked out some of our favorite DIY and other footage. It’s been a fantastic year as Isabella went from a project to a home with lots of improvements.
Wishing you all the best for 2023 and hoping you enjoy our reflection of 2022.

Adele and I sail through traffic on our approach into Dakar. The girl gets off Galopin and we say good bye. She was great to have aboard. And the boat goes up on the beach. I'll be living up there for a few days. It's kinda of weird. Not for all cruisers, but ...

#sailing #hitchhiker #livingfree
Boat hitchhikers. Ever been approached by any? Ever consider taking one or more on your travels? Ever have one aboard? Who are they really? They seem cool, but are they? It’s really big and wide out here. And no one can hear you scream. There’s only one way to find o...
#sailing #offgrid #hitchhiking
I was going to solo sail the four day journey to the West Coast of the African continent when I met Adele. Adele is a boat hitchhiker. So me & Adele go East to Dakar Senegal. Weather conditions are fair except the wind is in our faces and the navigation is somewhat...
