Installing underwater lights on our sail boat Ep 418

[@TotalBoat]

What a fun upgrade to the boat! Can't wait to see the lights in action!

[@SailingCatalpa]

We also cant wait!! 😁

[@leehoffman3604]

The longer you stay out of the water the more cool things you find to add. Your boat is going to be a rock star by the time she get in the water.

[@dirk3730]

With every season Lee gets more comfortable in front of the camera. Looking forward to seeing you guys seeing in the dark water 🎉

[@LumitecLighting]

Great video guys. Good job on installing our underwater lights.

[@SailingCatalpa]

Thanks ☺️

[@TheGolopablo]

Lee....I would also electrically test the lights before fitting them in 😅😅

[@erichyney6287]

Good job guys. See you next time.

[@jamessandman3708]

Pretty work Pops!! Very nicely explained, filmed and edited. You've sold me on the way to install those Lumnitech underwater lights! ⛵⛵⛵

[@rossmain4142]

She be a bright beautiful big girl 👍🏼

[@seandayma]

What a wonderful upgrade. Love your new look, Bella.

[@angusmcdonald7944]

Another wonderful addition to Catalpa II. 👍💯❤️📸💡

[@mirekbns]

Those lights are gonna pay off with some great footage.

[@TheGolopablo]

Squid fishing 🦑🦑🦑

[@DaveHines1]

And now a few dozen extra solar panels provide power for all those lights 🤪🤣🍻

[@ronjohnson9690]

Patience is a hard lesson. It will come in handy when looking at weather systems in the near future, Those lights will tantalize the fish beneath the hull. Drop a line and supper can be nabbed. Sara, I hope you got a good response on your livestream cooking video. My chore was setting the table and drying the dishes afterward. I always sat and watched mom cook once the table was set, I am no cook, but love watching it. Thanks, memories.

[@mramanya]

That's a great thumbnail! :-D

[@bellarice]

Gonna be so awesome in the water 😆

[@paultabone2010]

What an awesome job we can’t wait to see them perform. 👏👍🐋🐳🐬🦈🐠🪼🐡 When they lift the boat out of the water will they be free from the slings straps. Have a great week ⛵️👍🦘🦘🦘🦘

[@SailingCatalpa]

Us too and oh geez I hope so we will have to check 🫣

[@72chargerse72]

Well ...Kitty is too cute to be mad at.

[@Stakman1]

The cat was probably saving Lee from a giant scary spider or something. 100% hero cat in my opinion

[@SailingCatalpa]

Oh you’re right that’s exactly what he would have been doing 😜

[@rossevans1774]

Nice job.

[@arottie4097]

W0W!

[@smokindauberdoo4208]

Great for catching squid They love light

[@SailingCatalpa]

Yep 🦑 can’t wait ☺️

[@robm.4512]

You’re going to be doing some cracking night fishing then. 😋👍

[@SailingCatalpa]

That's the plan mate can’t wait

[@silky900]

It's time for a cold beeper dear

[@72chargerse72]

Ya know Bella has grown up to be much more confidant and adorable (like her mum).

[@rockylockhart7301]

Looks great would love to see how you wire up inside as well.. How you wire to the panel and switch.. We are jealous you’re so close to being in the water.. One last question do you have starlink and if so how difficult was it to wire up and install.. love your channel

[@georgeluckert5430]

Underway date ?

[@stevenplancich6449]

I’m sure you Folks are getting “Antsy” about getting out in the Water…However a lot of smaller projects are getting done in the meantime …Continue to Stay Safe and Enjoy 😎

[@SailingCatalpa]

Absolutely 💯

[@andrewchristopher7138]

Hi

[@jimmydaniel8752]

Should of put tape on the outside of the holes and filled it with epoxy from the inside that gives it a for sure fill of every hole

[@paulklebaum1682]

👍👍🥳

[@mattsuser]

What no lights for bow?

[@alanmolloy3661]

Disco.😂

[@garoldjackson8401]

You have taken care of the main mast... but what about the mini-mast? Where is it?

[@SailingCatalpa]

It’s there the mizzen we have done both ☺️

[@garoldjackson8401]

@@SailingCatalpa Good... I was afraid he would get left behind. I kind of like him.

[@sebell69]

it produces friction underwater, slows down your ship (let us know by how much plz)

[@michaelcanto6175]

You need more lights all the way around Lee!

[@AJ-zn8fp]

Love your channel and have been following for a long time, but drilling holes below the waterline for lights? And a cored hull? Makes no sense to me for a blue water cruiser but what the hell, another 16 holes below the waterline……

[@SailingCatalpa]

Thanks for the love It’s only four holes that went all the way threw the hull. We can’t wait to use them cruising it’s all a compromise ☺️

[@gramos9115]

Never drill holes in your boat BELOW the waterline .

[@deerfootnz]

Underwater lights. Hmm. So clearly ALL the other work on the boat is done...

[@davidlevitz3119]

YOU'VE SET A BOAT WORK RECORD CAPT. Better consider better Help counseling perhaps ?

[@SailingCatalpa]

🫣 yep it’s time to go

[@jaegeratsea]

I thought you were 200 days to back in the water down to about 3 days. I know there were some delay issues but it has been three more months. Explain when you think you will be sailing. These videos make me tired from all your hard work.

[@The_Riddler21]

I know the feeling, my girlfriend hates it when i antifoul prematurely it is extremely frustrating for her

[@SailingCatalpa]

😅😂🤣
