Touching! It's hard to close one chapter and start another one. Yet, that is how life goes forward.

[@victorvos2833]

With this very long episode it gives the feeling that you almost with you! Liked it very much! What an adventure! Great parents great children!❤

[@SailingCatalpa]

Glad you enjoyed it!🥰

[@SigisTravelVideos]

Hard to believe it's already two years since you guys sailed back to Australia together with the Nalukai crew. Hopefully you guys join up with Nalukai in the near future, if they still sailing. Much love from British Columbia in Canada.

[@jsmith6259]

After 10 years, you only have 43000 subscribers.That surprises me a lot since i've been watching since twenty fourteen

[@SigisTravelVideos]

I really enjoyed this long format video, and yes, I made it to the end.

That’s great ☺️🥰

[@kernelyhehaa7589]

Yes I totally enjoyed watching a full hour of Catalpa ❤

[@allenclark1914]

Very emotional and touching, very difficult to sale your adventure home without knowing any plan. You have me hooked, I subscribed and will follow you for your adventures wherever they take you.

[@SailingCatalpa]

Thanks mate

[@colleenbalch328]

Tears from me as you said goodbye to Catalpa I, sometimes change comes with the tears.

[@annewinning9723]

OMG I cried so much …….. so glad you got to travel home with Nalukai!

[@SailingCatalpa]

🥹🥰

[@SeanHendy]

An interesting insight. Thanks for sharing. As a comparison, growing up as an Army brat (British) by the time I was 10, we had lived in 6 different places, moving to number 7, in 4 different countries, in 3 different continents (Europe, Africa, Asia) and I was in my 4th school. In the next 8 years, another 3 moves, another school and 2 colleges to add to the mix and we still weren't done. After Uni (another 3 moves) I then spent a decade in the Army myself living and working in at least another 10 locations. The concept of 'home' is something I am still trying to work out at the age of 52.

[@carlhagglund]

Nice to see what happend to catalpa, two year cliffhanger ❤

[@SailingCatalpa]

Yes it’s been a long time coming 🫣

[@DeniseTerrell-oy5tm]

Wow! I was not expecting to cry.. great episode! 💝

[@toomasnelson4561]

Thank you for that catchup.

[@yingyang6453]

Awesome episode guys loved it

[@leehoffman3604]

So I watched the intro as usual and thought, "Well, this will be good to watch as I eat dinner." What started out as a normal vlog quickly turned into a documentary and then a docudrama when you sold Catalpa. I used the right cursor key to speed things up when I saw Bella crack her nose. Listening to the Indonesians talking about their camper van excursion was very interesting and surprising. And then, at the end, when you reached the top of the volcano, I fully expected to see Lee come over the ridge in a helicopter to rescue you all. A great video. Thanks for the ride. See you next week.

[@SailingCatalpa]

Still waiting for the search party 😆 thanks for watching 🥰

[@tjack49er]

I remember you guys selling and moving up to a bigger boat (or boat project) Hope to see you sailing soon

[@Topmodd]

Everything goes in through our eye's, everything else is just feeling, this is awesome 1hr length story, do more guy's !

[@SailingCatalpa]

Cheers mate

[@martindelp5665]

Nice one! The Format of an hour is good, seems more connecting somehow. so if you have to much footage for a shorter one, i´m happy to watch. 💗

[@SailingCatalpa]

Thanks 🥰

[@andrewfrodsham8725]

It's so unreal to see the actual feelings you guys had towards catalpa one in this video your home an the growth it bought to the growth of your family keep up the video's it's a learning curve for us land lovers who wish to do what ýou guys have achieved an taught your kids to be the lendgends they have grown up to be happy sailings in catalpa 2

[@SailingCatalpa]

It was a hard but wonderful time ☺️🥰

[@edrussell7960]

One of your best vlogs to date. I was wondering how the sale of Catalpa went and how you ended up in California on your new boat. The enery you guys have is positively staggering. Walking all over town, hiking trails climbing mountains? That nutmeg jelly must have some good energy additives.

[@JEDA3961]

More time with Catalpa crew is always good. Backflip Bella, 😊 looked painful.

[@davidlevitz3119]

FANTASTIC ! AND FABULOUS !

[@dannyramadhan]

Hey! I didn know about Catalpa 1, I can imagine how hard it must be to let go your boat after those amazing years sailing across Indonesia, but I understand you need a better one to circumnavigate the world. My last trip to Banda was in Nov 2022 for a week, and I also stayed at Abba´s Cilubintang Estate. It was my fourth visit. Usually, I hike up Gunung Api every time, but this time I didn't because my friend wanted to learn scuba diving, it was her first time. Now I miss hiking up that mountain after seeing this video.

[@SailingCatalpa]

Banda is so beautiful isn’t it great hike I’m sure you won’t miss it next time ☺️

[@peterbailey6722]

Gday thank you I always just thought I had missed that episode even though I went back trying to find it, well now I get it and fully understand, mystery solved thank you, wow what a fantastic story really loved seeing what happened to catalpa 1 , and so glad it’s still happening, always love your videos thank you cheers

[@SailingCatalpa]

Happy to finally share it 🥰

[@jamessandman3708]

Hey!! There's backflipping Bella!! Tough shot on the nose there but you are one tough cookie!! This was an awesome video! I didn't know about this or your awesome family! That was a heck of a climb you girls made! Don't leave us with such a cliff hanger! Did the bug jump or did you talk him down? lol 🤣😂⛵⛵⛵

[@BTCxyz369]

Bella, always listen to your Intuition!

[@garoldjackson8401]

I didn't know that you did not have another boat in mind when you sold Catalpa I. That puts a whole different color on the story. That was a brave thing to do. I think it turned out well. You now have Catalpa II, your new home.

[@SailingCatalpa]

Absolutely it was a wild ride of emotions for sure but we got there 🫣🥰

[@ronjohnson9690]

I really enjoyed the hour with you guys. I suddenly realized how it must feel for Sara to be without her nest. But then with the strong support of Lee, how lucky she is. I am so glad I came in early when Catalpa was just beginning. It would be impossible to binge now. I got lucky too. Thank you.

[@davidhaskins6487]

Nice to see you close to gap in timing of videos, been watching for years and was wondering what the hell

[@The_Riddler21]

Defenitly like the longer videos, around 30 to 40 minutes in my opinion ✌️❤️👌

[@The_Riddler21]

Well done to guys for being brave enough to take the hard steps to live the life style you wanna live, not many of us have the guts to do it, wish the whole family health and success in life ✌️🌹❤️👌

[@bobbrown5529]

Just found your channel , WOW , you have a great family and a great circle of friends . Down side is , this was your last posting on your home , " CATALPA " . The boat is a big part of the journey , but it's the Family , the Crew and the Friends that makes it a HOME . I am safe in saying , that your NEW HOME will be an amazing place once you get on board and set sail . But I will say that , you are an amazing Mum , 3 kids and a Husband to look after . Climbing that Mountain was awesome , it showed how fit you ( Mum ) are and how you would run rings around the 2 YOUNG GIRLS 😁😁😁😁. To put it bluntly , you are a Mean , Lean fighting machine . Honestly look forward to the next chapters in your Lives.

[@AnthonyParr-do5jk]

If you ever climb Banda Api again be careful that that edge you appear to be on is very undercut. Great vid.

[@dalltm]

Funny, I am watching this excellent video while making landfall in our first Indonesian port Tual!

I remember those warm happy days, it was such a shock for you guys to be ripped out of this life for me. But it all worked out amazingly, although now you need to get back to INDO ! I remember Banda, not sure who first introduced it to me and the history was such that I really looked at a lot of videos about it, what an interesting place ! But wow, what a cliff hanging ending !

I think I remember Delos going up a peak, in a similar part of the world, and some of them losing the trail on the way down, eventually making it down several hours later after bushwhacking their way down the hill.
