Fantasy Fest, Key West, pedicure, Key Deer, Dancing, teak repair, EVA teak, dinghy ride, and bikini. We added some non slip EVA material to the cockpit lazarettes. It really cleaned things up and should be easy to clean. Had a great time down in Key West g...
Underwater camera, Osprey, dirty laundry, beach, dancing, leaving me, deck light, and snorkeling Ran a new cold water hose to the VIP head. Evaluated being close to the Atlantic during hurricane season. Jogged with a shaky camera. Tried to get the Osprey o...
Snorkeling, fast dingy ride, margaritas and dancing! We took the dingy to Pigeon Key and went snorkeling. Unfortunately the Sony camera started leaking while trying to get some underwater footage. There were tons of fish in the wonderfully warm water. On t...
Karen is hot and sweaty from our new exercise routine. We walk at least 2 miles in the heat and humidity. Speaking of hot our rear A/C went out. Took a while to diagnose the problem. It turns out the coils inside the unit needed cleaning. Rigged a pump, 5...
We whizzed out on a motorcat, Starfish, to snorkel at the Sombrero Reef. That was so cool! It’s a very popular spot right by the Sombrero Lighthouse and is the third largest coral reef in the world.
Hello viewers, we’re always happy you are with us, e...
We went to the beach for some snorkeling. It was too rough and the water was stirred up so that was a bust. Took our Electroscan unit out and installed a holding tank for the forward head. Decided to go to Key West for awhile. At lunch (Poke bowl with Salm...
We completed the installation of our NMEA 2000 network for our DST 810 smart transducer which detects depth, speed and temperature. Also installed Dri-Dek in the crew cabin for a nice looking floor. We shortened the AC duct work that goes into the salon. I...
Wet again and no longer on the hard, yea! After getting a new shaft, etc…, and bottom job Isabella was finally splashed. We left Ft. Lauderdale and headed straight, nonstop for the Keys. The seas were a bit choppy at first, there were scattered thunderst...
We’re stuck in Fort Lauderdale and making the best of the time here. Our packing gland is dripping way too much. It’s lock nut appears to be chemically welded shut. After soaking it in PBJ, and two professionals checking it out, it’s been decided we ...
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 info...
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 che...
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 so...
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'l...
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...
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 20...
We tied up a few loose ends on Isabella:
The seacock in the aft head had seized. With much lube and flexing back and forth we were able to make it easy to open/close. Karen finished cleaning and oiling the teak toe rail all the way around the boat. Did a ...
This week was doubling up, holes for a clamp. With tropical storm Nicole moving nearby, we added extra dock lines in preparation of some big blows. We have 1 5/8" stern rails. Since clamps of that size are hard to find off the shelf, it gave Steve an oppor...
Steve installs aluminum steps on the Mizzen mast. We now have three steps. This will make it so much easier and safer when attaching the halyard to the sail. Clean up after completing a project is always essential and Karen uses our new cordless vacuum to ...
After returning from the Annapolis Sailboat Show it's time for some R&R by going to the beach. Being lucky enough to get a great boat show price on a new tool, the WinchRite, we review it's features. It makes every winch an electric winch. Isabella's d...
We took too long hunkering for the hurricane and fixing our loss of RPM problem. So Isabella headed back to port instead of continuing to Annapolis. We said goodbye to Petra and flew to the boat show. Ran into a lot of subscribers, did our time in the Sail...
We leave our safe harbor near Savannah and consider ourselves lucky for not pushing on to Charleston. A weird trip. Had planned to sail to Annapolis. Between waiting for a mechanic and hunkering down for Hurricane Ian our plans changed.
Headed back to sou...

Did a little dirty work on Sailing Intermission. Cleaned the Electroscan inside and out. The unit is about 6 years old and it looks pretty good. The electrodes are still in good shape. Spent some time at the beach.
We're still stuck in a marina awaiting ...
This time on Sailing Intermission, can you believe it, we finally have our mainsail! Great work of craftsmanship by both Sails by Morgan and Neil Pryde. We are so excited to have that on board with the Strong Track for easier hoisting.
The marina has anot...
