thank you kirk!!!!!!! make a big difference!

[@MouseToes]

David you have become an outstanding videographer, this video was brilliant. And excellent tutorial with props-paper/skewer and plastic bag tutorial on sails!

[@david_shih]

i had a good time making those sails outta paper. learned quite a bit about the shapes in the process. did you catch the scene where colleen was the wind blowing the sails across the desk?

[@RevolutionTV1]

We learned how to make those plastic Bricks in Bocas, There's a couple with a chocolate farm on Bastimentos. Pretty cool place and cool back story.

[@david_shih]

oh really? im going to go find them the next time we're there!

[@boppermacca9346]

Loving the content David.. And a sundowner during golden hour is a special thing

[@david_shih]

bop, you're so right about golden hour, and its so hard to explain to people that havent been out there!

[@MrHellfinger]

I learned more about sails in 10 minutes of this video than I have of 6 years of armchair sailing. It's the details that were the most informative. Excellent as always, David. Bravo, sir.

[@david_shih]

very good sir! very good...next time i shall make a video about which wind angles each of these sails work best at...

[@ajoliver74]

You definitely have the most fun making your videos. Never change.

[@david_shih]

i definitley do! but it can be a bit much during all the filming! lucky everyone aboard was super accepting.

If Delos wasn’t stuck with three-reefs they would have smoked-parlay 😂 I’m not hating 😂

[@bill2292]

I never heard you tell us why your spinnaker blew up?

[@david_shih]

that's a really good question, and lots of speculation. it actually got wrapped up around the [rolled up] jib the day before. maybe it snagged a split pin or got a tiny poke, and then one of the times the wind filled it up fast it gave up.

[@RodolfoRodriguez-ml7cy]

Where is parlay revival at?

[@meandmybuddy964]

He can cut the sail up and sell it to people and make enough money to buy a new one
