Prepping for Sailing! How we Deep Clean a 30ft. Catalina Sailboat

We're getting our Catalina 30 Tall Rig sailboat ready for the spring sailing season. In this video we are prepping the boat for sailing, cleaning out the garage under the cockpit, and testing the solar charging system, then we cook my Captain's Seafood Platter.
