Doing a full diesel engine rebuild takes time, and money. Arona is diligently caring for Simone the Perkins 4108. As I take care of projects on Galopin while waiting. Sometimes I need to get out of the CVD club and get stuff like groceries and cash. And that's where Tafa, my one eyed driver com...

Our basil and dill surprised us by sprouting early—who knew we had such a green thumb? Meanwhile, we tackled some boat chores: Steve sanded rust off the emergency tiller head and gave it a fresh co...
The greatest diesel mechanic I have known throughout my travels is Arona. Here at the Dakar Yacht Club or CVD. He's been caring for my dear Simone, the Perkins 4108 for many years. Now Simone is on his bench and ready to roar back to life again.

My boat Galopin and I are waiting for Simone, our Perkins diesel engine to have her full makeover by Arona, greatest shade tree mechanic I know. We’re living here during Senegal’s rain season. Which offers the most surreal views and bitch slapping storms. And through all the wet and dry weather we g...
Getting on hands and knees, climbing the pole, poetry, CQR anchor, fish chasing dolphin, and dancing.
It’s time for sprucing up Isabella. All hands on deck as Karen gets on her hands and knees to wash the deck clean. The wind generator pole is made of 316 stainless steel and still managed to attrac...

We’ve been busy on Isabella with DIY, topless sunbathing, and fun too. After some detective work we located the source of a small leak in the galley. A boat should not leak! Steve removed the stanchion which was the area where water managed to leak into the galley. He worked his magic and ta-da, no ...
We are rebuilding my Perkins 4108 diesel engine. And we need parts for that. Those parts were found, ordered and purchase at parts4engines.com. An excellent service. In between that we have time to take care of Galopin's well-being with talented individuals CVD yacht club at the service of sail...
Day 2 of my 30-day solo journey into Japan’s longevity hotspots. After yesterday’s Respect for the Aged Festival, today was cleanup day—but also a chance to reflect on last night’s celebration where over 100 villagers, young and old, gathered to honor those over 70.
From karaoke and radio taiso to ...
This is Africa. I sailed over 450nm to come and have the one person I trust with my engine. Master Mechanic Arona. Galopin and I are looking forward to some good downpours to wash all the sticky off of us. And Simone the Perkins engine is with Master Mechanic Arona. She'll be taken completely ...
Dinghy ride, a day at the beach, Hayabusa motorcycle cruise, ceviche and dancing. Join us for some relaxation and fun. Yep, no DIY this time on Isabella, the 56’ CNSO Mikado we call home.
Steve and Karen take some time off to relax with a dinghy ride to check out the nearby oyster beds and the dep...
Welcome to Season 7 of Winded Voyage. This is sailing Africa. And it starts by doing big time maintenance on my dear Galopin. Most notably the Perkins 4108 engine. We sailed here from Cabo Verde when the engine was showing it's aches and pains. So as soon as we anchored I asked master mechanic ...
Enjoying morning coffee on the boat. Karen was doing some jumping jacks. Steve liked watching her jump up and down in her bikini. The original lazarette seats in the cockpit were built using thin fiberglass over wood. Through the decades the fiberglass cracked letting in water to rot the wood. Both ...
I had patched a leak in my engine cooling system. Sailed under spinnaker. Got through a squall and heavy rain. So far this journey was what sailing is all about. Then out of the blue sky lands a pigeon on Galopin. He spent the night aboard and as we got closer to land he flew once around us, as if t...
Since Wendy left, I decide to head to Dakar Senegal for boat maintenance. And it was a good decision, but one that required some Mc Gyver ingenuity to patch things up on the engine which had sprung a leak in the cooling system. No engine is not a problem with a sailboat, unless ther is little wind. ...

It's hurricane season so we doubled up our dock lines before heading out to the west coast. Visiting California and Washington was a blast. Perfect weather and lots of pelicans in San Diego. Seattle brought flying fish at the Pike Pl...
Things seem to go wrong at the wrong time. And that's when you have to find a solution. Because there are no problems, only solutions. I manage to steer Galopin without the autopilot. Later I fix the problem without the proper parts. Pay tribute to Wendy, who is leaving us, and head East to Da...
Cabo Verde celebrated 50 years of independence this year. And we joined in the celebrations with music, dance and drink. Then we show how we do laundry here as live aboard sailors. And Wend has one last swim in the bay before we sail off. Wendy will soon be leaving Galopin and I.

Karen is at it again. Stripping and eating my nuts. She sits on our bed and continues to talk about boat life. Buying a used boat you're lucky to get 85% of what you originally wanted. Small additions here and there help bring it closer. We wish the front A/C strainer basket didn't get clo...
When sailing around Cabo Verde islands you will mostly be at anchor. There are many amazing places to drop the hook. And almost all are somewhat perilous. So be prepared and ready to adapt to the situation. And check that your anchor and chain are well placed and positioned. How do sailors do that? ...
Eduardo, the Indiana Jones of whale research. We met just before Covid as he was sailing from Cabo Verde to search the archipelago and beyond to study marine mammals. And now we meet again. The sailing world is actually small. Discover Maktub, the whale research vessel and Eduardo its captain. As we...
Isabella’s Dirty Bottom / Butt – Boat Life Gets Hot

Frequent rolling thunder and lightning kept us tied up at the dock, but when that sultry weather window finally opened—with a high tide to match—you know we were ready. Cummins diesel fired up, bow thruster gave a sexy little purr, and off we went... until Isabella started moaning at just 1600 rpm. ...
