Lee is a true legend ! A remarkable father to his children and no woman could ask for a better husband . He seems to be able to do and fix anything life throws at him . Well done Lee & everyone else on Catalpa . You guys are living a life most of us can only dream of . Thank you for sharing your life with us .
Nice Video, just a small correction to your terminology. What you add on top of the motor was actually a AC Generator Coil. The silver box was a rectifier / regulator. It "rectifies" the AC from the generator coils into DC and then it regulates the DC voltage to charge the battery. Great Job Anyways! I would have dropped at least 1 part overboard.
I watch several sailing channels and one thing that always stands out to me, is the necessity of one or more occupants to make up a Jack/Jane of all trades aboard the boat (unless you are rich and can afford crew or tradesmen). There is always a need for the skills of a mechanic, an electrician, an engineer, a diver and a skilled navigator. Being able to take care of your boat while docked or at sea is essential. --Jessica from Florida 🌞
The last min. of the video showed a 'sand dollar' shell and I thought they were unique to the island of Bermuda nice find, never seen them in QLD- OZ. Must google them. Happy Travels Team Catalpa wherever you are
If y’all get to the coast of Oregon and California….( right on its border)… you will find huge sand dollars on the beach: in January… I have…& I hope you do too…)
Loving your adventures and now a question. Some time ago I watched you do your deck with Kiwigrip. How is it putting up with day to day wear and tear? Are you satisfied? Ihave a ferro yacht, live on board and need to do my deck this year, thinking to use Kiwigrip. Some people seem happy then grizzle that it is hard to clean and chips. Do you find that? Cheers.
Been out with Covid the last couple of weeks. Trying to get caught up! Thanks for sharing!!!
Now there’s a positive spin on getting covid 😜

Absolutely being able to do as much as possible on your boat is a must if you are traveling on a budget 😜☺️
Another good one guys.
Thanks mate

Only the second comment... Dang it, I am losing my edge!!! I love those jungle walkways and views.
Runner up ain’t bad 😜
Well done Lee, well done indeed. But not as impressive as your kids back flips. LOL! Stay groovy and stay safe.
Haha backflips for the win ✨

Cork is being used by some manufacturers .... its particularly friendly on metal hulls for feet and metal.
We love kiwi grip but yes it does stain we found acid wash works well to remove stains it’s good price and worked well for us ☺️

Sorry, I should've said in my comment that the link is for an affordable catamaran 😄
