Testing Deck Color & Temperature in Tropical Paradise Our Aluminum Catamaran (Ep. 114)

We’ve arrived in the Whitsundays—one of the world’s most beautiful sailing destinations! From snorkeling with colorful reefs to swimming in warm, crystal-clear waters, this place has it all. Plus, we’re giving our boat's decks a new look. Can the color of our catamaran’s deck make a noticeable difference in temperature? We’re putting it to the test on our aluminum catamaran by painting the decks a new color and measuring the change. Curious to know the results? Watch to see how much of a difference color really makes! Come along for the ride and see how it all unfolds! ________________ Ahoy! We’re the James Family, a trio sailing around the globe and sharing our family-friendly adventures every week! Sam hails from New Zealand, while Cait is from the United States; we met in Cairns, Australia. During the Covid-19 pandemic, we eloped, and a year later, our family grew with the arrival of Charlie! In 2022, we took the leap to follow our dream, sold everything, and bought an old, unfinished aluminum catamaran. Now, we’re fixing her up as we explore the world.
