HUGE DIVE BOAT DRAGS INTO US AT ANCHOR!! 😲 (Episode 267) 

The high-Quality production of these RU-vid episodes is rather mind blowing. Well done and thank you for sharing.

Would you mind please telling my wife why I need to go to the pub every night! I tell her I’m going to check the weather and that’s wearing a bit thin.😂

I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer a few months ago & told I will never be in remission or cancer free . Watching your videos makes me feel so alive, hopeful, filled with gratitude & determined to keep on going . Thank u 🙏🏻 . U bring so much joy to so many of us !!!

When Colin says "our boat" you can tell his friends have become his family, and they are all sharing a blessing of life.

My heart was in my throat watching the start. Great outcome, you're a true professional Colin, with a good dose of fun thrown in. A joy to watch and learn.

Congratz guys on taking 'catamaran sailboat' to what I've always called our most beautiful epic place in NZ Dusky Sound Fiordland. 40 years ago I was there. Thank you Parlay for the great content❤

‘I’ll hold your hair…’ 😂😂😂

Absolutely stunning scenery. Next week's episode is going to be epic.

I remember in the early days off this channel you apologising so much for not sailing, and then when you had problems with lightening strikes and the problems before the big ocean crossing. But look at you guys now. Believe me I enjoy every episode is what makes it all worth it. Well dome brilliant loved it.

Can you guy's make 2 uploads a week? .........I'm sorry I want to see more of all of you & I spent 2 weeks watching from the very first video

What an exciting start to your day. You guys were paying attention. We all pray that Parley never suffers any damage that would stop your video's. Love, carry on

Thanks for showing us some unique places in NZ 🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿

Hi Team Parlay, how beautiful is New Zealand absolutely pictures Thank you for taking new us with you on this journey , Cliff from Queensland Australia

"I am the fender"

Thanks guys for the awesome adventure. You are doing your country proud Colin. We have had a trip to both islands and looking forward to doing all again soon.

Reminder of why a deck watch can save you from disaster even at anchor.Good job saving the boat again.

hi colin and team,,one of my good friends(who didn't like muttonbirds),had a rather novel way of cooking mutton birds,,first you select 3 even sized stones,place them in the pot with the birds,,,boil it all up for about an hour and a half,,,drain off the water ,throw the mutton birds over the side,,,then eat the stones...cheers guys,,,,great channel and content....iain...nz

Anchovy flavored duck is a hard no for me. Beautiful scenery makes me wish I traveled when I was able. Thank you for bringing us along with you. Stay safe.

Always eventful on Parley. And I always enjoy the adventure. Cheers Parley crew!

Same thing happened to us in Thailand with another unmanned boat dragging anchor…Ted had board it, get the engines on to prevent it hitting lots. Nerve wracking so we really feel you there! So proud of you getting to the Fiords! Well done! 🙌🏼

Wow. Parking Parley under a waterfall? Damn, cannot wait for next week Colin

Another Great Time for Parlay Revival and what great video footage to share that yes your in great places in our world but Stuff happen when you least think it can. Happy all is well and thanks for taking us along

What a beautiful country NZ is! I was lucky enough to go canoeing and camping in Doubtfull Sound 20 years ago. Can’t wait till the next episode. 👏👏

Those crayfish are insane! Glad you guys had a safe passage. I was worried about the swell.

Never there a dull day; On a boat named "Parlay"!

I live in Riverton on the south coast and I am impressed with you guys taking on the corner (Puysegur Point). Kia Kaha.

Best sailing channel on RU-vid

Of all the big channels out there never looked more forward to a next episode than I do right now!!! Cheers!

What anchor alarm app do u use?

Thanks for the film and story of your expedition to the South of The South Island. I had the pleasure of visiting Puysegur Point Lighthouse, Easter 1967, for a few weeks, whilst it was "Manned". My Uncle and family lived and worked on the light. I flew in from Invercargill, on a Gruman amphibian, single engine, on a mail flight, that I waited in Invercargill for about a month, to get a weather window for the flight and sea landing about 2-3 miles up the Fiord from the boat shed/ landing. I came backout on the annual supply boat (Warau,I think!!), after dropping supplies at Centre Island, in life boats to the beach. My "job" on station was to fill the larder. which was very easy catching crayfish, scallops. fishing, and shooting a deer or two on the track. This was a most memorable time in a Wild, and then also dead calm environment, second to none. I was amazed that you and your crew were awe stuck with this regions beauty and awesomeness!! Thanks for the memories and your great documentaries of Kiwi's exploring the world and our own gems. I look forward to you stories of Fiordland. Safe travels and fair breezes. RJT, Ayr, Qld, Oz. But still a proud Kiwi!

Another great episode guys, thanks for bringing us a long, can't wait for next week! Mauriora

Legends as always ... Dirty Bird is the Word!

Just love MB's -- pai rawa. The taste is in the DNA from way back.

Hey bud, what anchor alarm is that? The display on the ones I’ve seen don’t have satellite view.

Great vid as usual. I’ve been unlucky to have a much larger boat drag down on me twice. the second time I tied up on her and put my engine in forward slowly. She stopped dragging. Owner gave me diesel $! Very scary as like you, it happened at night but in a very big blow.

OMG!! I can SO understood setting the anchor alarm. Could you PLEASE share what APP you use???

WOW!! All the build-up to making that passage and it was all a big nothing burger. How did the forecast end up being so inaccurate? I'm thinking that while they have forecasts and modeling for the wind, maybe there is no data in that area for swell/wave height and spacing.

The Locals would have rare rather seen the Blue Mistress on the rocks thay would have payed for your fuel for a year... Cage diving on the island is not liked from the folks on the island or from Bluff for that... Happy you guys are safe...

Accept for part about NEVER EVER, under any circumstances, put yourself between two boats.

Oh wow now that water fall was crazy nice. thanks for sharing this every week.

12:53. Yo I just sent you an email. With an offer to alleviate that issue permanently.! As always. Awesome episode.! 🙏🍻

Mutton bird is absolutely delicious - we had it at the pub on Stewart Island, cooked by someone who knew how to cook it properly

A friend of mine with a somewhat negative outlook on life tried to tell me most of the RU-vid Sailing Videos are "fake". Maybe he meant Staged ? But , there's no way he could be describing Sailing Parley Revival, NO WAY ! What could be more real than a New Zealander, a KIWI , sailing around his country !

Most people don't get how much of a pain even a little damage to the boat is when out cruising . A bent and busted Stanchion can not only be dangerous at sea if it takes out the life lines but is near impossible to replace on location .A small glass repair is not so bad , in that it can be repaired on site as long as you carry repair epoxy like Colin and is just ugly for a while .

You guys get to enjoys stuff few tourists ever see that is amazing and thanks for sharing it with us.

I freaking love this crew

Done this in a helicopter and had to cry. It's sooooooo beautiful . never forget this. Actually moved to New Zealand as its just stunning.

You made wonderful mutton bird bait and wasted by eating it, Yuck! Could have caught a gigantic Ugly fish! LOL

A very groovy episode. Yucky bird, yummy lobster.

Fresh anchovies are a wonderful and subtle fish… nothing like the weird salty preserved objects you get on pizza.

On Dec 28, 2022, I got to cruise through Milford, Doubtful and Dusky Sounds on Norwegian Cruise Line's first cruise ship back to Australia and New Zealand after Covid-19. I enjoyed the views from the front of NCL"s oldest and 2nd smallest ship, but I am glad we were not there when you were there, so we would not spoil your experience. We, too, had the views to ourselves.

Could you please share the anchor alarm app that you use? There are so many apps that it is hard to tell which is the best.

You inspired me to get a boat and start sailing! Thank you some much for all of the content over the years keep it up!!

Love the shots of Parlay from behind around the 19 minute mark from the drone. Looks amazing.

Thank you for sharing your journey. I used to scuba dive but now have a rare lung condition that prohibits me from diving. I am living vicariously through you!

🤣🤣😂🤣 Leave Chef Jamie alone guys, no respect. 🤣😂🤣🤣 I cannot wait to see the absolutely breathtaking scenery next week!! Safe travels guys 💜☮️🌅⛵️

That dragging boat is why I leave the keys in the ignition.

There is nothing worse than having your head down in a rocking pitting boat trying to untangle line. That gets you so sick.

The sounds are an special part of NZ, enjoy.

As a kiwi in the north island thanks for showing this Parlay.

Love this Venetian Blinds tune. I recall the last time it was used here. Mattias Tell. He sent me the lyrics so I could play the guitar parts and sing it.

That call out to Colin: “I’ll hold your hair”. 😂 I used to fly into Dusky Sound often in an old friends helicopter to go fishing. It’s spectacular. Just drop a line super close to a stream head and they come up in seconds….

Seriously? I can't judge since I could do something in the future. However, we usually have two or three anchor alarms. But... No judgment. I hope they get their act together.

Would love to know name of anchor alarm app… please

I cannot sleep at anchor without an anchor alarm!!

Fiord lands! New Zealand Chilean Patagonia British Columbia to Alaska Norway All are spectacular!

Nice save at the beginning with the dive boat, cool heads under the pump. Landscape down that part of the country is something.

Pub networking is definitely a thing that can produce great contacts.

I think there is a walking track called the Duskey Track that allowes hikers to walk there.

You have to take your, SQUIRREL!, opportunities when they are presented to you.

I laughed & laughed out loud at this one. Makes it so much better knowing you guys and having spent so much time on Parlay. So glad you got to Fiordland. It is so special. (Still gutted I can’t make Fiji). I’m Losing you. 😥 xxxx PS stop picking on Jamie!!

Craig was definitely stitching you up with that Muttonbird.

I look forward to your videos each week! You and your crew are just awesome. Thank you for letting us be there with you on your journey.

Hi team wow crazy to see that in real life. Myself and our film crew stay each night on land, in a house overlooking the bay you guys were in. We didn't hear about this event until we boarded that next morning and wow, thank you for helping the skipper out. It was apparently 50knots that night !! So huge thanks for helping out a boat in need, lucky you guys had been up to catch it !!! big ups, and yes well done on promoting the anchor alarm. Safe travels

Wow Colin, good episode. I was so excited, I was praying dive boat not hit Parley but then thought, okay a little damage so we can see a repair video? 😁 I digress now, glad it didn't but looking forward to shark bite damage repair?😂😂😂 By the way, I LOVE to watch Jamie fishing.

Another stellar episode with spectacular scenery, I always look forward to my armchair trip with Parlay! If you are looking for episode ideas, I’d love one that explains some of the nitty-gritty details, how do you pick your crew, how long can they stay, how do you figure out who pays for what, have you ever had to kick anyone off??? As a retired nurse I’m also always interested in the medical side of things, your episode on the fire ants just about gave me heart failure! What do you have for medical kits? How about health insurance? What do you do if someone gets appendicitis or a toothache on the high seas? Thanks for your great editing work!

Enjoyed the video, we are doing a vaguely similar route next year but the easy way on a cruise ship 😊

WATCHED IT TWICE ALREADY +++ BRITT YOUR GRACE UNDER PRESSURE

Thank you once again for sharing your beautiful country with us. It truly is stunning to see how remote and protected it is. The crayfish at the end made my mouth water, it looked delicious. As you were telling us about this area I noticed you seemed really emotional 0:12 by the beauty, and then when you said it was bringing you to tears I couldn’t help but cry. This is the perfect way to celebrate our July 1 Canada Day.

Wow!! 5:14…. 15,528 emails and 362 text messages 😅 😂 Colin! You’re way too popular or busy. (With dragging boats) I suspect you’re having way too much fun 🎉. Happy for you and the gang. It’s the only way to live! Cheers!

So stoked to see next week's episode on Fiordland!! Wanted to hike into it when I was there - I think a 10 day track at the best of time, but unfortunately I was there in autumn and the route was just too swamped. Has always remained at my list but now I can live vicariously through you! ❤

OMG, Such a beautiful place! May have to tell my family our vacation this year is to NZ

I cannot imagine that boat anymore if Katie wasn't there. She is a bundle of lovin fun.!!

This episode hit home, as we got hit with a major storm in Maryland, USA. We did not drag(thank God) but our anchor alarm app kept going off saying we dragged 182m. Is the app you use just called anchor alarm? I would love to check out the exact app you use. As always, love watching your travels! Be safe

2:31 this can happening to us all🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉 So do use GPS anker drag for FREE !!!!!!!!!!! Only need screen open and power for a phone. But wtf for that safety, it is free solar charged anyway

Great episode guys! Spectacular scenery.

Was bought up on mutton birds, they are ok, they are stored in salt and oil.

Migi's are torture but look at the anchorage, only a brave sailor ventures into Fiordland. Bare poles sailing back up the West Coast if the weather catches you out, thankfully you'll have PLENTY of sea room and almost guaranteed following wind and seas, the Tasman has a mighty reputation for VERY good reason.

Grew up in Bridport Tasmania.Know Mutton Bird well .Used to go mutton bird hunting with the local fishermen. Very dangerous ,lots of venomous snakes. It’s an incredible migrating bird. You should only the chicks ,about the size of a quail. Mostly bones and thigh meat.That bird was way too big,too old and too mature. Best way is to BBQ and always eat with pickled onions. It is indeed an acquired taste and if prepared correctly ,a unique delicacy. The meat is dark and oily and very strong in flavor. Pickled onion is a must

I AM THE FENDER!

Hi Colin and crew . This vid is the most interesting picturesque vid along either last video,G W shark vid . I love NZ . I guess I just like seeing you around your home places . Love from Australia

Looks amazing out there!

Had to catch one we’re starving on a island big seas couldn’t head home. Tried eating it shit would of been better. Used rest as bait giant trevelly love them so converted it to fish

I know this post isn't about surfing. BUT, I was watching another post where they were surfing and after I left their channel an old 60 ish surfing song came to mind about hanging 10 and walking the nose. Because I've watch you guys surfing a lot I thought I would ask surfers..ie.. you guys.. Is hanging 10 and walking the nose still a thing surfers do or ever did... just wondering Thanks for listening wishing you all Fair winds and following Seas

One observation: @2:10 personal experience sharing of the situation stards, loud, even if the situation is still unclear. Is the whole crew there, did someone fall overboard? Same on the other boat(s)? The crew communication should be very disciplined until the situation has declared to be clear by the chief. Just to keep "channel clear" for a) observations b) commands.

Oops! Nice recovery! Next time, rig at least four fenders regardless of where you're anchoring or docking. Excellent coverage of the legal liability of commandeering another's vessel and the wisdom of anchor-dragging alarms.

Great Episode team! That scenery is epic.

You lucked out again on the weather window. And wow what a scenic area of New Zealand. Looking forward to next video

It is truly beautiful and so remote. Reminds me of Port Davey on the SW of Tasmania, similar scenery and weather. You can only get there by boat or walking for 5 days, also a very special place. A few tiny planes can ferry in or out the walkers.

Lol soft as Bro ! I thought Mutton bird was national dish ! You eat the mustard from cray heads and Urchins eggs but couldn't handle the chicken ! As for Jamie , embarrassed to call him an Aussie Toughen up 😂
