You all have put in an insane amount of work in preparations, all done with smiles and good cheer. You deserve a hearty blessing and Godspeed on your upcoming adventure. I am happy to see Sara's ankle has healed, and that Kitty has a home.

Hello, this brings back so many memories as it’s a huge job I’ve been through twice, but a dam relief knowing you have new rigging to sail safely under. Wow the kiddos have grown, and so helpful, they know how good that sailing life is, so it’s all hands on deck so to speak.. hope it all went well and in no time your set up to depart port.

@SailingCatalpa Ай бұрын

Absolutely we can wait to get back out there ☺️

@Stakman1 Ай бұрын

Wow! What a huge job getting done. You are going to be unstoppable once you splash!

You guys must be gagging to adventure and cruise. Guesstimating splash dates is yesterday’s news. Wicked opportunity to be working with Hammer again. Quality work Catalpa crew. Your repairs, upgrades and maintenance, will see you in good stead for years to come. You will sleep easier and feel a lot more comfortable. With all the expensive stuff done and a realistic get out of town time scale. Are you gonna upgrade the water toys. Your vids make me smile. Thank you.

Looking forward to seeing what is involved in re-rigging a ketch as I have the same job ahead of me soon. I have timber masts which are in need of a paint job but appear in good condition. Thanks for your explanations of everything you do. I find your style easy to understand and quite relatable. Stay safe. Cheers, Phil

I am confused. This is episode 414 ? And the last at episode 297 you wear on the catamaran leaving Indonesia?.

Yeah sorry we had to jump back in time to 2022 and fill in some gaps of our story we have numbered the episodes according to hope to not confuse but it’s a little tricky.

@@SailingCatalpa its hard to follow your story, you were spending hundreds of days fixing up a boat, then you sold your boat and were on a trimaran going somewhere, now where are you and what are you doing?

OK, I am going to be that old fart: In my youth, I spent a lot of time out in the sun without my shirt on working on boats (sail and power). I wanted to have that "awesome tan." Years later, I am now paying for that decision with multiple trips to the dermatologist dealing with skin cancer. So please (especially for your son) wear sunscreen and shirts that block out harmful sun rays. I still enjoy boating but am now more cautious with my sun protection. Now back to your awesome videos.

We have about lost interest in boat repairing. You seem to go from needing money to "we are flying in our rigger." I'm not even sure what boat you are on.

@SailingCatalpa Ай бұрын

So have we but hey if you want to live this lifestyle you got to do the hard stuff cruising is more enjoyable when your boat is not always falling apart😅. Our life is definitely full of highs and lows and I can see how you are confused. We are on Catalpa 2
