We've got gypsy magic! Previously we shared the skipping of our anchor chain as the Lofrans Falkon windlass deployed/pulled up the anchor. We drove to Charleston, South Carolina and picked up the new 376E gypsy that matches our 1/2" G4 anchor chain. It was a little wider than the old gypsy...
Ever have trouble getting it up? Well, yeah we did. In preparation for our move to Texas, we are checking out all essential systems. One of those being our Lofrans Falcon 1700 watt windlass and maneuvering the anchor. The anchor deployed nicely but the windlass couldn’t get it up easily. More to dia...
Wanna get down and dirty; maybe get lucky? Well, that’s what Karen asked Steve as she tried to get him to take a break from working in the owner's cabin. The reverse cycle unit there has often needed a slight boost provided by a gentle breeze from a Ryobi battery operated fan directed at the th...
Why would you live on a sailboat? Watch this episode of Sailing Intermission and find out the top 10 reasons Karen and Steve live on Isabella. We’ve been doing this for about six years now and we’re still enjoying the heck out of sailboat life.
Looking out at the water from the cockpit is one of th...
We're still doing some painting. Boring! It does look nice when finished though. Karen's painter outfit makes Steve's putter flutter.
Some great friends stopped by to visit on their way north. Always a fun time. They sail and anchor a lot while enjoying great views and very scenic l...
Goofy jokes, more painting, a secret, broken generator, dancing, several comments
Previously took Isabella out for a spin and turned her around at the dock so we could easily work on the starboard side. Our green "racing" stripe needed some help. We taped plastic between the boat and dock...
It’s a hull of a job, but it’s time to turn Isabella around so we can work on her starboard side. A few episodes ago, Steve polished and painted her green stripe on the port side of her hull. Now, we’ll work on the other side.
Taking her out for a short spin Karen dawns her red bikini while Steve w...
Returning from our California trip we had a DIY project waiting for us. The Dometic reverse cycle air conditioner unit that was ordered came in early while we were away and was ready for pick up. Getting it from dock to deck to cockpit and finally salon was no easy feat. It is always nerve racking m...
Dancing, Harbor Seals, DIY, Birds, Beach, La Jolla
Still having problems with the Northern Lights generator. It starts but will stop unless the glow plug switch is continually depressed. Have been bleeding the fuel lines and replacing relays to no avail. More to come.
Painted behind the salon cu...
Oh no, it won’t switch. The weather is getting warmer and it is time to adjust the Dometic reverse cycle unit from heat to air conditioning, except it was stuck in heat mode. The unit is under all the bedding and cushions in the front cabin, not so easy to access. Once the defective unit was availab...
Bikinis, pelicans, sail locker, amplifier, stereo and more....
Karen tries on mix matched bikinis outfits in anticipation of warmer weather coming soon. Steve enjoys viewing the combination of bikini outfits and bare skin.
We were lucky enough to see a bird feeding frenzy show brought about by sev...
A trip taken in vain. We went to Dallas for a special event except while in flight the event was canceled. Landed and immediately rearranged our return flight for the next day. At least we had time to drive by a few of our old dancing clubs in Deep Ellum and enjoy some great jambalaya at the Free Ma...
Exercise, jump rope, jumping jacks, life jackets, Magma grill, dancing, comments.

🌿 Herbs, Squirters & Salsa – Another Week on the Water! ⛵
This week aboard Sailing Intermission…
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...

• How to restore and cold-zinc coat a CQR anchor
• A look at our homemade lightning grounding setup

• Behind-the-scenes of liveaboard life with Karen & Steve
• Some dancing, of cou...
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 ...
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...
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 ...
travel, teak, toerail, hull, dancing, jumper cables, cheeky
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...
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...
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. ...
Beaches, bikinis, dolphins, real life on a sailboat, moon and pizza. Discovering beaches was a lot of fun. We visited two. Hilton Heads' Coligny and Tybee Island Beach. Hilton Head was so amazingly crowded even on a weekday. Beautiful sand and warm water. Tybee was lovely and more laid back. Lo...
