Confessions From My Crewmates on Parlay Revival

Confessions From My Crewmates on Parlay Revival and They Tell Me Everything
This video is like nothing I've made before.... it's like podcast and I interview the 8 crew members that I sailed with for 3 weeks across the Pacific Ocean. It amazes me how we come from such different walks of life with so many differences, but still end up so bonded because of this dream to cross the world's largest ocean.
❤️ SUBSCRIBE to see us cross the Pacific Ocean and thanks to ‪@ParlayRevival‬ for taking me along for the ride.

You would've made a wonderful interrogator

[@dirk3730]

One of the best videos ever. David got more words out of Jamie in this video than Collin has in seven years😂 Great to actually get to know the crew. Hoping Colleen starts her own channel when she's able to get her own boat. Much love guys❤

[@david_shih]

I know right? Jamie can talk!!!

[@rcarrico]

David you did a fantastic job extracting everyone’s personal story and great job editing it to keep it interesting and energetic! ❤

[@david_shih]

thx so much robert!

[@LeoGodYT]

I know this isn’t the Parlay channel, but this video is one of my favorites getting to really know the crew. Thank you David. Video of the year from me 😁

[@david_shih]

of the year>???? wow leo! seriously thanks!

It's kinda crazy how each weeks video is even better than the last. This is fun. Cheers Shih crew

That was last may...can we get something that is closer in times? We will be in november in a few days.

@@gervaisbilodeau8465 good things take time, my friend. Think of David as a fine brandy. Once you bottle the magic, you gotta age it a bit.

@@david_shih I would like to see you and your family on your boat. I think you have got enough sailing time to go on your own. That was the goal when you bought your cat. Don't make us wait longer. We are ready...are you?

thx mike!!! glad you could appreciate it!

Your enthusiasm is so infectious. Keep it up and I can't wait for more.

[@scotttan6377]

Really appreciate David's interview style where he shares some of his anecdotal life's experiences and perceptions . The cast and crew was great in participating and opening up about their journey to sailing on Parlay Revival .

[@david_shih]

thx scottie! ive got a lot of random thoughts... tried not to interrupt too much, seems like it worked out pretty good, but we have a really good dynamic between us all.

[@Day_Tripper39]

I love this kind of video. David is so good at interviewing people. And, Mary is one of the best singers on the planet.

[@david_shih]

glad to hear, bc id love to make more like this one! i taught mary how to sing....jk

[@mary_shih]

Whoa! Seriously?!?! I used to be so embarrassed before, but David is always singing…so I started singing too!

[@kdmarino]

Great meeting the crew. I sailed out of Galveston bay but moved in 2017. When you talked with Steven it was good to hear his story, but sad to hear how he was treated in the country I live in.

[@MrFroglips69]

A very tasty and groovy episode. David you do keep everything lively, fun and exciting. You're a cool, light hearted interviewer. I dig that about you.

Fab episode @David Shih! I love the style of your videos 😊

[@david_shih]

thanks denise!!!!

[@tezdejesus8384]

Recently discovered Parley. Really enjoying it. This is an excellent episode. I've wondered about how people come to be aboard. You asked a question about being grown up - if and when. That has been something I have recently finally answered. My husband and I bought a sailboat in our mid thirties and cruised the east coast to Bahamas several times with money making times in between. We owned the boat for 47 years. I realized about 5 years ago that I had finally grown up. I still have my child within, but now, with some adult guidance. My husband is gone and the boat, too. When I sold the boat I think the stories I had to tell about the cruising life encouraged the mid-thirties couple to ask me to stay on as consultant. So the boat is still in my world and my child is jumping with glee. I watch cruising videos during mealtime - allowing me to revisit our similar experiences. To anyone who reads this: age is just a number. It's a true saying that you will regret not doing more than doing. No regrets here.

[@david_shih]

Thanks for sharing. Such a sweet story I hope to live.

What a great episode. I love the coverage you did of the Coleen and Stephen. Though my love is sailing, my current vessel is a trawler as it is the best suited vessel for my current plans. Fair-wind and following seas to all aboard.

[@andreacrashe9894]

@stephenmacleod8524 *Kia ora (hello) Stephen I enjoyed Dave's interview with you. Wow you are such a laid back but also very generous man. All the best in your future ventures. Sail down to NZ and enjoy sailing around New Zealand, as you will love it. We also make the best boats down here. I have to say that your treatment in the border control centre was horrific... and to hear what they were calling the others... was absolutely shocking. I do hope that you laid a full complaint about the treatment as that was unacceptable. Kia kaha (stay strong) and be safe where ever you go on land or on water. 🙂.*

[@Steve-Debs]

Great job David, up until now there was Colin and Jamie and of course yourself.. the other 5 people were the other 5 people,. Now thanks to a brilliant idea of yours we know who these others are. I never looked how long the vid was until after 20 min I was enjoying it so much I hoped it was longer and had to look. I can also lip read David.

oh great to hear steve! i was worried it was going to be too long...the rest of the crew were just as important on this long passage! every body did their part!

[@jamarwiggins9703]

steve was honeslty the most honest. he liteally explained what border patrol agents do and think when sitting there. i'm from San Diego CA and lived 20 minutes from the border. had to sit in secondary for 5 hours just because I drove a beater car. I was 18 at the time. my first trip ever to Mexico was ruined because of that and he explained it even without cutting out the slurs. I'm Black and still heard the "Yellow Monkey" comments by border patrol and even I live currently and grew up on a farm. so i was called a "chocolate redneck hick" its crazy how these guys treat American Citizens. I even had my passport and 2 different ID's on me and still sat there for 5-6 hours. the only way I was able to cross was by calling my local Police Station which was right on the other side of the border of San Yisidro and told them what was going on. they instantly let my fiance and I through because I said they were holding food and water from a Pregnant woman.

[@WillN2Go1]

Greta video. Classic David you really get to meet people. "Crazy captain." As in Don't be one. As an older guy that's what I've had to realize. Sailing is challenging and exciting, but my real challenge is not becoming another crazy captain. I've been on boats where the guy says "I'm the captain" in that skewed sort of way.... and you realize, the way he just said that means I'm Billy Budd (Melville. Doesn't turn out well for Billy). And no where in the ASA books does it say anything about bellowing. Is that for fog or just for bonkers! This one 'I'm captain' 300 yards offshore, bellowing. Near shore, docking? Nice guy. I like three and four hour watches. We only had four people on board so all watches were single. Tip: the last hour when you start to kind of lag....especially at 3 am. Put some music in your headphones and dance on the deck. Second tip. Dance without lifting your feet. Keeps you alert, gives you some exercise. Steve brought up something. Full size refrigerators. Here's what I think is going on. Those small boat fridges, freezers? They're expensive, not very efficient, not very reliable, nut much capacity Impossible to find parts for. What's cheaper, larger capacity, a lot more efficient, completely frost free, less expensive? A standard consumer home refrigerator. When they made the first American computer, the Eniac, they wanted to use the most reliable vacuum tubes. I think it used 15,000. They tested everything they could find. Costlier "Long Life" tubes were not longer life, they weren't reliable (I found this out with quartz halo headlights in the 1990s) By far the most reliable tubes were the ones produced in the largest numbers, and they were among the cheapest.

[@david_shih]

im used to the longer style watches like 3 or 4hrs, but i gotta say, the 2 hr ones on parlay were really nice. i'm definitely considering some regular fridges in our boat! way cheaper....just gotta keep the inverters running always, but that's not too big of a deal
