Argh! I'm repairing the exhaust hose on my Catalina 30 sailboat in this episode. We had a leak and have to diagnose & repair the problem to keep the boat from taking on water while under motor power. I had to replace the exhaust flap and hose to keep the boat dry while using the engine. We ordered the replacement exhaust flange from http://CatalinaDirect.com. We hope this helps anyone who is experiencing this leak in the bilge from the aft of the boat. @SailingIntoNirvana Website: http://sailingintonirvana.com Social: https://facebook.com/sailingintonirvana Patreon: http://patreon.com/sailingintonirvana Fire Dragon Spices: http://piraterodneys.com Please leave a comment or reach out to us if interested in supporting what we do!

We're motoring into the cove for an overnight stay on our 1983 Catalina 30 sailboat. The bilge will be flooded when we get there, but we'll have to fix it later because we're having a date night! Just the two of us! We're a sailing couple, and we love to be anchored in the cove and cook on the grill. We determined what needed to be done with the water leak on the boat, and when we get back to the marina we head to West Marine for boat parts! @SailingIntoNirvana Website: http://sailingintonirvana.com Social: https://facebook.com/sailingintonirvana Patreon: http://patreon.com/sailingintonirvana Fire Dragon Spices: http://piraterodneys.com Please leave a comment or reach out to us if interested in supporting what we do!

We took SV Zanadu, our 1983 Catalina 30 Tall Rig, and new crew on a sail to the cove in Westlake Park, and had a great time with our website subscribers on Lewisville Lake Texas. First time sailing crew and returning crew are on this trip. We had to tack up wind, close hauled to get there but it was worth it. We did have some problems with our bilge pump, but this trip wasn't the time to fix it. Join us in our next video to find out. Cheers!

We're celebrating the 4th of July in 2025 with fireworks, dancing and a weekend sailing cruise on Lewisville Lake on our Catalina C30 sailboat. In voyage one for the 2025 sailing season we get out on the water to explore a hidden cove with one of our YouTube channel subscribers! We had to tack upwind to get to the cove after leaving the marina, then we go for a swim and eat some good food cooked right from the galley of SV Zanadu. The day before we were able to watch fireworks for the Lake Dallas 4th of July celebration from the viewpoint at the American Legion Post 88. We hope you enjoy the serenity of the sailing footage we got out on the lake as much as we did.

We show how we install new memory foam bedding in our V berth on our 1983 Catalina 30 sailboat. Afterwards we ditched the storms coming in and took cover at Sneaky Pete's.

We nearly got hit by lightning and a tornado on the lake this episode! The storm passed by just north of us on Lewisville Lake, TX. We can't move our sailboat (1983 Catalina 30 Tall rig), because were tied down in the mooring slip at the marina. Argh! Key Moments in the video: 1. In this episode, we braved rolling thunderstorms, cast our lines in the rain, and watched nature put on an incredible lightning show over the lake. Stick around—this one’s got it all. 2. The day started peacefully. The lake was glassy and still—almost too still. Off in the distance, dark clouds crept in from the west, a quiet warning of what was to come. Rain came and went in soft bursts, but by late afternoon, the atmosphere had changed. The wind picked up, and the skies grew heavy. We could feel the storm building around us. One of our favorite things is watching the rain dance on the lake’s surface. There’s something mesmerizing about those tiny ripples in the stillness. 3. We set out our fishing lines, hopeful that the weather wouldn’t scare off dinner. Rain or not, we were determined to catch something. 4. While I prepped dinner down below, the skies prepared something of their own: a light show we won’t soon forget. As night fell, flashes of blue and purple lit up the clouds, turning the horizon into a flickering silhouette. Thunder rolled in the distance—not threatening, but powerful and strangely soothing. We were lucky the main storm tracked just north of us. Had it shifted, we’d have battened down the hatches and ridden it out below deck. But instead, we had front-row seats. We kept a close eye on the radar. The weather service issued a warning: winds up to 55 miles per hour, half-inch hail, and a tornado watch until 10 p.m. We were ready to react, but for now, we just watched. 5. The lightning intensified, each strike brighter than the last. And just as the storm put on its show, we sat down for dinner—still waiting on that fish. Rain or shine, we weren’t giving up. We were going to fish until the last light faded or the storm made us stop—whichever came first. 6. Some days on the water are calm, others are electric. This one had a little bit of both.

In this video we experience the spring pink moon for 2025, and replace the house and starting batteries on our 1983 Catalina C30 sailboat on Lewisville Lake, TX. The old batteries lasted 4 years aboard SV Zanadu, and now it is time to replace them. I got the marine grade batteries at O'Rilley Auto Parts and let's hope they last another 4 years... Cyndi and I take in the pink moon, go catfishing and lay out on deck to sunbathe. Cheers!

Ahoy! We are getting our Catalina 30 sailboat ready for sailing in 2025. A lot of boat projects need to be done each year, and we are cleaning and organizing our clothes in the V berth in this episode. Storage of clothing is essential to a well balanced boat when sailing on the water. Watch this episode for a surprise (Cyndi bought me a guitar for my birthday a few weeks ago on St. Patrick's Day and it's finally arrived). I did make food in the galley. I cooked Milanesa round steak by rolling it up into beef rolls. This is a common sailboat recipe for us because it's easy to make in the air fryer in the galley. Cheers! @SailingIntoNirvana http://sailingintonirvana.com https://www.patreon.com/c/sailingintonirvana
