One of your best episodes! So great being able to witness Colin's engineering wizardry and the crew's hard-earned successes... not to mention Tori's incredible smile! 😄
@@ParlayRevival hey remember me??? When your boat first broke before your crossing I also was diagnosed with cancer and I said if I can solve the problem so can you. I still have cancer but rejecting all treatments and last Mother’s Day I attempted to walk across canada promoting peace tables and mental health tools along with my research on the cure to cancer. I injured myself going 47 k one day, I took a few weeks off and kept pushing through the huge mountains of British Columbia to say I accomplished at least one province lol. I’m alive, cancer didn’t get me and legs are healing nicely. Still got a passion to sail around the world and know it’s going to happen because that passion level tends to create. Sadly it’s a passion I’m scared to death to do. We create what we fear right, well I got that fear on steroids so you know cancer can’t kill me because this dam sailing passion has to unfold first before any death can happen lol. Love your channel. Theglobalpeacetrain.com
Nice work Colin. Sometimes the simple changes can be the best ones! I recall being stuck in Death Valley in 1952 for over ten hours with a leaking radiator hose on a 1950 Mercury woodie station wagon. The outside temperature was 125 degrees most of the day. We had tried to refill the radiator from the water tanks spaced 1-2 miles apart along the Valley floor, but the boil over was going to burn up the engine. My father, an Aeronautical Engineer and his buddy also an Engineer were stumped. At about 7pm a car stopped to see if we needed help. It was a crusty old man with one arm took a look under the hood and asked my father one question; “Do you really need that hose going to your heating system?” At my young age of 6, I saw the amazed look on my father’s face. The repair took 10 minutes and we were on our way again.
Oh yeah baby! Water babies, splash day baby! Succesful sea trials, some upgrades,diesel filled, cleaned. Ready to welcome Jamie and resume the western coast circumnavigation of Western New Zealand. Huge shout out to all who helped with the logistics!
It amazes me how Colin copes with everything that is thrown at him, his memory is fantastic for the engineering bits and pieces - Thanks for another impressive episode
GREAT GREAT VIDEO! Thank you for all the shoutout’s to the people who make it possible for PARLAY to continue for giving us awesome adventures. Just have to say WELCOME BACK JAMIE I MISSED YOU AND COLIN DID AS WELL 😂🤪
Love that Chosen is back. So cool. Also all the support and gifts during your haul out was phenomenal along with your mechanical skills on the fly. Great episode!
Good job, Smokos, and funny joking, Jamie, that your first mate. Welcome back, Jamie. It's good to have the first mate back. Fantastic team effort to get Parlay back in the water in such a short turnaround. Thanks to everyone who contributed. Colin, your quick knowledge impresses me. Brilliant!
Nz must be narly sailing, not too many i hear take on the aussie bite in bass straight wa to vic or nsw or visa versa, can only imagine the harsh winds down sth island. Enjoy the challenge, thrive in adventure, just have bloody gr8 fun safely!
Those of you who are blue water captains and sailors never cease to amaze me. Your talents, engineering, and innovation allowing you to adapt and continue are exceptional 👌👏 keep sailing, and may your journey be blessed and happy
Started watching about episode 230, went back and watched from the beginning. Great boat, crew and Colin, you are amazing! You remind me of my Dad. He bought a burned to the water-line Elco 35 power boat and rebuilt her. Didn't tell Mom for ages, so she thought he had a mistress! He, and 2 of my brothers could build, fix or repair anything. Maybe I'll catch you in Annapolis this year! Met my husband there, and lived aboard for 2 1/2 years on a Schneider ketch.
Colin ❤ you must have effected so many lives of people around you. when your time on this earth ends, there going to be thousands of souls welcoming and celebrating your earthly accomplishments ❤️
Love how you make replacing boat parts as entertaining and fascinating as surfing awesome reefs. Thank you!! And gotta say, best nickname ever ..."the Chosen One". Nice to see you back on Parlay!
This was a pretty good example as to the importance of experience. It would be easy to panic about the backwards prop situation and overthink a solution, but experience prevailed with the simple, correct solution to the problem.
Reverse in forward, forward in reverse, up is down, down is up - a Southern Hemisphere thing I'm sure 🙂 A test you can do... pull that transducer out in the water, if your boat sinks with the water coming in clockwise you are in the Northern Hemisphere, if you sink and the water is coming in anti-clockwise you are in the South.
Thank you Colin and team for getting me through a total knee replacement. I have binge watched all 259 episodes while I recouped from the operation. It took exactly 3 weeks without over viewing your channel. As a teacher and principal in public primary schools for over 40 years, encouraging young kids to get out and see the world, your channel was fantastic as you inspire all ages. You and your crew are welcome to visit me and my family in Perth Western Australia any time.
Having watched all 259 episodes and counting I must say a BIG thank you Colin for putting me off "putting out to sea" in my retirement. My dream has always been to buy or build a comfortable motor Cat and cruise around the pacific. BUT the reality is I simply don't have the marine engineering knowledge and skills to maintain a boat at sea. Seriously, thanks to Colin and Parley Revival, I am now looking at buying a boat & trailer and staying closer to shore.
Hey Colin - Knowledge, skills and an Engineering degree goes a long way, imagine the savings doing this all by yourself! It also gives a total in depth overview of how Parlay operates, not every one has what you have learned, let’s hope other blue water sailers get to at least watch some of the truely incredible episodes buddy. Take care, be safe and God Bless 👍🙏😇⛵️
As a residential carpenter who did some small tile work on a yacht last summer and got to enjoy the boat life, one thing that can be said about you guys is you are definitely not the lazy type. Always ready to just get going pull of covers and look bilge pumps and engine or hop in a dingy to check out a friends boat 2 marinas down. Very awesome time.
I might not have "buy a hurricane damaged Lagoon 450" money but this channel is one of the main reasons I bought a motorcycle for a tour of Mexico and central America. Because I don't want to regret the things I didn't do. Thanks Parlay, you are a huge inspiration.
Always a treat to receive your videos We are SOOOO impressed with your repair talents. Everything that you accomplished during this time in the marina could not have been done in that amount of time without you and your talents 💯❣️ Trying to patiently wait for your next video 🤣🥰💯❣️
Love the channel! Colin we miss your intro. Add it back in. 20 years you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the things you did.
Hello folks, we hope you will also visit Bali sometimes, our second homeland. We are always there from October to July. Greetings from Ben and Susi. We have been enjoying your vlogs for years.
I'm so glad I started watching this,it's because of Below Deck and of coarse how handsome Colin is!!I can't wait for Sunday mornings and a good cup of coffee!I enjoy all of you guys and gals! Everett Washington
Nice work, folks!! Good to see you all repaired and back in the water. From my own experiences, a broken gear tooth does not get better and just causes more damage! Have a good week! Special hello to Britt, from Canada! 😀
It always amazes me that you are personally able to fix so many things. I am loving seeing this part of the world and learning about your friends! I hope you get a break from the boat troubles!
Parlays challenges tend to remind us to face the adversity, and to highlight the goodwill and generosity within the communities around the globe - another great episode. Keep up the 'reo' Smoko.
Wow, I learn something new every episode. Had no clue you could swap out the sail drive for a bigger one. Is this a permanent solution? Really cool of the other sailor 🤙🏼 to gift you the sail drive!
Man, my heart dropped for you guys when you splashed but weren't getting any wash out of the back. Thank goodness it was a simple fix on the throttle quad. Great job making the most of an unfortunate situation and thanks to the feller who sent the replacement part! Giddy up!
I am a modern day homesteader and i have been watching this channel for years and enjoying every video you put out thanks for sharing and see you on the next one.
When in the previous episode you introduced the replacement drive and mentioend it was mounted in pulling config I had this strange feeling "isn't there some difference between pulling and pushing configs?" But actually I expected a difference in the bearing system for different support arrangement and not the direction of rotation as it ended up. You guys really inspire me to handle setbacks and apparently unsolvable problem. Fair winds and following seas!
I reckon we can forgive Jamie this time. The man has put in a lot of man hours into fixing up Parlay. I’m glad he had a great time on the super yacht. I am surprised that only Aussies & Kiwi’s use the term “smoko”. I love the Down Under lingo we share.
On our sd60 you can remove and rotate the gear selector that attaches to the spline instead of changing it at the helm. We did it this way to make the props spin the opposite direction to each other (how our props are designed)
I have a love/hate reaction to these videos. I hate it that Parlay is throwing some other problem up to be fixed but I love it because Collin is so good at fixing these problems with some really creative solutions that will improve Parlay!! Good one Mate!!
Another Great show of what it means to have the Stars and World fall your way to get a replacement Sail Drive and all the work to make it work correctly and get back into the water.
Chosen! I relate more and more to that guy. Good group. I'd love to have swapped that saildrive for the experience. I think I could, but never have done it.
