Sailing Catalpa
A family of four documents their long-term cruising lifestyle, focusing on the technical maintenance and practical preparations required for extensive Pacific Ocean crossings.

We may not have much in the way of the things but we are now living sailing full time. Follow us as we document our adventures good times and bad and what it’s like for a family living on a sailing boat. We hope that our weekly videos make you smile and in…
