Rodger Snyder - 6 years ago

Having experienced for 20 years sailing with my family of 5 and now to see your family out enjoying this lifestyle is marvelous!

It's always a delight to be able to view one's own sailboat, in all her glory, from another boat.

Congratulations on your 13 years together. s/v ...Waves

Sailing Catalpa - 6 years ago

Sailing Catalpa - 6 years ago

michael close - 6 years ago

rules for swimming in northern australia. do not swim anywhere that saltwater crocodiles can be found which is at least 200km out to sea and in any inland river system or waterhole where there isn't a barrier that prevents access by crocodiles.

Sailing Catalpa - 6 years ago

true we swam at our own risk

Arthur Fehrle - 6 years ago

Happy Anniversary and many more, wonderful family, good luck.

Jumping ship and the footage of your own boat under sail without a drone scored extremely high on the awesomeness scale!

Sailing Catalpa - 6 years ago

haha thanks I didn't even think twice so worth it ;-)

Jon Madsen - 6 years ago

Happy anniversary!! Great video as always :)

Sailing Catalpa - 6 years ago

Thanks Jon

Dave Gibson - 6 years ago

Congrats guys on 13 years. Great video, thanks for sharing. Cheers. :)

Sailing Catalpa - 6 years ago

Thank you for watching and for the love Cheers

Quakeboy02 - 6 years ago

Another good video, but I wish you'd use your popularity to discourage people from putting graffiti all over the places you sail to. Whether it's spray paint, a groove made by a knife, or a plaque glued to a rock it's still graffiti.

Sailing Catalpa - 6 years ago

Thanks I think people were doing it out of love of a lost one not to cause harm but fair point.

Anders Jakobsen - 6 years ago

Hi there :-)
Congratulasion on your big day. Fancy restaurant :-)
I had to check my map. (most north Australia) sorry;-)
But you are really close to the great Barrier reef ?
That is on my Bucket list. wow so cool.
And those crocs.....Iiihh. BIG smile.
I spent 60days in Amazonas/Pantanal. Often we spent the afternoon "fishing"
the lokal Crocodiles with a Sandal and some rope. (sandal as a frog)
But they wase 1,5m at tops.
You gays have the real ones ;-) SO big...
I eviou so much.....
Cheers, fair winds and good dives.

Sailing Catalpa - 6 years ago

You are more than welcome. :-) Had to watch this episode again and confirmed the sheer of S/V Catalpa is beautiful, especially under way. Thank you for the reply. Hope we meet on the water as you head East and we will be heading West after we get aboard. Probably end of 2018. Best wishes and it was sooooooo obvious that your little princess loves her dad. Very nice.
