EMERGENCY HAULOUT 24 hours before leaving New Zealand! - (episode 275)

[@sailingtaku]

Thanks guys!! You’re the best and we already miss ya!

[@ianh2674]

Colin you are really very fortunate in having a second mate like Jamie on board, What a great trip to NZ, very touching and cant wait for your onward travel

[@gordonagent7037]

Amen for Jamie, 100% got your back, absolute legend

[@digitalmediaoriginal]

Jamie's innit for the ladies mate

[@anthonywentzel7176]

It is amazing how much trust Colin has in Jamie!

[@halburtonwarrington-minge3434]

and vice-versa. Go guys!

[@RiverWoods111]

Look at the commitment Jamie has to the boat and Colin. He got into that freezing cold water to check if everything was lining up. Jamie has earned Colin's respect.

[@TerryKeever]

They're closer and more trusting of each other than most brothers.

[@marxtr6]

As he should. Jamie is incredibly competent, not just a pretty face🤪

[@antc5010]

Not really. Those 2 have been together from the onset of PR's rebuild and know the vessel inside out. Both are very competent. Happy sailing guys!

[@IEnigIMa]

Nice plug for Sailing Taku….she had a great personality so I subscribed 😊. Such a nice guy that Collin❤. As far as the future travels….not sure if you’re so isolated from the news, but “the Red Sea” is a hotbed of turmoil 😮. Houthis rebel fighters terrorizing that area…hope you pick a different route…stay safe and wish you guys the best. Great job on the repairs 😊.

[@Kevin15301]

Parlay Revival - the best way to enjoy Sunday mornings.

[@StephanPluemer]

Thats True ;)

[@pkane5472]

Here here!

[@sharonwhite1985]

Certainly is! Love a dose of Parlay!

[@geoffstrebel2808]

@3:40 I'm just going to say that Jamie is one of the best people I've met recently. This guy... Mate I hope we see eachother again soon.

[@jaeorumn4242]

Brit, you are very special! I love you and Katie kicking butt and taking names, couple of bad @$$ sailor ladies. Keep it up!

[@QDS2023]

Bill From Florida just stopping by in express how much I love getting up on Sunday morning and watching your videos.. I have been following your movement on Marine Naviation app. May you have 'Fair winds and following seas". STAY SAFE

[@coreyhopkins1831]

I was stressed watching you throw the headtorch thinking oh no the clutch isn't working .........glad it was only a seal mate. Great episode

[@susanstovell7737]

🎉 here we go. Absolutely love the videos and New Zealand was great. Sailing under the waterfall was unbelievable. PLEASE COME TO CAPE TOWN. I would love to see Parlay Revival here. Definitely note a Yacht or Sailing person but definitely admire you for all the hard work and extremely difficult times at sea. Colin you are a fantastic captain. I couldn't do it. You are all Absolutely Awesome

[@stephenmacleod8524]

Great episode Colin! Glad to see my prediction was wrong. Big $$ saved.

[@fordfan3179]

You guys popped that front seal in so fast, you should all have matching button ups on with head sets. Like an Indy pit crew! Well done!

[@G-ra-ha-m]

Redoes like this are often faster than expected, as everything is free and known.

[@Poseidonsproject]

Great work Colin, remember no good engineer became a good engineer without making a mistake here and there. Better to spot the seal missing in port than sea! Save sails my man!

[@doloresbauman4797]

I'm so excited for you all. I'm sure the dogs will be ecstatic to see you again!!

[@paladine6]

He did an Instagram story a few months back with the dogs. Those dogs went wild seeing him again.

[@SailingSVPipedream]

It’s times like these looking at the inside of that sail drive that I feel glad I have 60 year old Enfield sterndrives and 50 year old Merc diesels on my Trimaran… not so efficient, but so much more simple.

[@johndarby2766]

Agree, getting pretty bored watching replying of saildrive repairs, can we do the next one without video....

[@rolandtb3]

Tensioned and retensioned. Both retro fitted drives are fully functional. Reprovisioned and prepared for Fuji.

[@00708046]

Collin and Jamie , I really respect your determination and commitment . It's not easy when you are on your 3rd try and you have to pull things apart again while you are exhausted and beaten down , but you both did it and got it right ! Congrats ! And to the rest of the team who helped you out too !

[@martinverney4522]

Absolutely awesome work , Colin & Jamie you are some team on them engines . The beautiful , rugged amazing New Zealand scenery shows in your character . Nuff respect!

[@jmpersonal2402]

It's a top-effort team. It's stunning for everybody who has seen that hidden gem of Stewart Island. Be well, Say G'day to the WIdow Vaa up in the Yasawa's. She does a mean Coconut crab!

[@Tachikawa5]

Awesome crew you have. Jaime is indispensable as the ladies are. Best wishes to everyone. Thank you Colin for the beautiful journey.

[@danfadden]

I’ve said it before on other videos, Colin has a big heart, and his integrity is what I admire most. Anyone who can find a friend like Colin or IS a friend of Colin should count themselves as very lucky. If more people were like him, the world would be a much better place. No doubt.

[@wildaltarose]

Your work on Parlay always intrigues me, how can anyone that isn’t an engineer ever sail ? I am excited to see you back on your circumnavigation even with a new crew. Safe travels, and now go get your pups back.

[@derekhoughton1346]

Being an Engineer or at least haveing a good understanding of engineering Is a great way to save a lot of money when you own a boat.

[@leosarrade8995]

I can relate to the head lamp throw.. Usually things aren't as bad as you feel they are in the moment. Glad your creativity could get that seal in without a complete teardown.

[@skent]

Outstanding video, Parlay team! Colin you should be proud of yourself and the crew. I've no doubt that was a very stressful 24 hours but you handled it like a legend. On to Fiji!

[@j.vanliefland1910]

Hi Colin and Crew, as we say here in the Netherlands; behouden vaart! You did a great job maintaining the saildrives and renew the sea cocks. I wish all the best and have fun. Looking forward to new videos. Thanks!

[@billhendricks3143]

Rule number one of being a great owner captain has to be never put off what you can do now. It’s incredibly easy to get emotionally invested Parlay’s story and the ever changing faces and personalties that come in and out of her orbit. The fact That Colin is driven to eliminate every weak link and mitigate every potential danger puts me at ease and in the moment enjoying the reveal of every breathtaking stop. Cheers to another great one🍻 can’t wait for what’s around the corner

[@bobram94]

Thank you for taking us along for a beautiful tour of New Zealand. I now understand my dad's love for the Island, it is the same as mine for BCs landscape and people. Have a great week. See you all next Sunday.

[@ceramicnurse]

Love love love this one! Not a dull moment from start to finish 🙌🏼

[@geoffroberts1608]

One adventure ending and another adventure starting 😊 Great job getting the clutch and the sail drive back together,what a mammoth task. May the wind be at your back and the sun upon your face,safe travels 🍀

[@johndw66]

Nice to have met in person so many of those faces.

[@susanthomas7567]

Good luck on your sail to Fiji Colin and crew. I'll be here again watching next week as usual.

[@mikelaughlin4470]

What an amazing experience so far guys! The boat maintenance adds a sense of realism you just don’t get on any other channel but what I like best is the sense of community of the crew, the people you meet and how much appreciation you have for all the help you receive along the way. It shows that you can’t get through this life on your own. Building and maintaining relationships adds so much quality to life’s journey. Fair winds guys!

[@ldirk58601]

I love your country, your boat, your peeps, channel, shenanigans, heart ❣

[@ayitsyaboi]

Coffee and Parlay has become my Sunday morning routine.

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

You're right, Colin. Brit, she's a special one. 💕 When things don't work out, saying our favorite curse words helps. I feel you, brother. Thanks for sharing.

[@adamhamilton3342]

exciting! nice work on the sail drive and as a backyard mechanic myself...I have forgotten a seal or 2. cheers!

[@Alltakenbla]

Beautiful Episode. What an awesome life you guys are experiencing. Hold on to it and cherish it!

[@KIRALYW]

Thankyou Colin, for showcasing your beautiful homeland in such a marvellous way. It’s been fantastic to watch. I better get over the ditch & see it for myself. Fun fact... I’m closer to New Zealand coming from Melbourne, Australia, than I am to Perth in Western Australia.

[@Oddjohn69]

Fantastic, when I see you guys tearing mechanical stuff apart, I just start drooling. I'm a Machinist and Millwright, that's like a tip toe through the tulips for me. Keep up the great work guys.❤

[@bricover]

Today at an boat show here in the Netherlands we saw the baby brother version of Parley. Then you realise how massive Parley really is. To see you work like that, I'm glad you have such a nice team.

[@geneparker3589]

"Surprised how fast"... LOL, this is like the 20th time you have done this!

[@rickhunt4487]

Amazing job Colin ❤

[@ninacarson5336]

So funny, at the end when you were leaving, you guys were all waving… I actually waved back at you! I have enjoyed this journey so much and looking forward to the new one. See ya next Sunday!

[@00708046]

You said it ! The main thing is being with your team on your own boat sailing to new places and experiencing life ! Thank you for sharing !

[@rickbacon9150]

Thanks, again, Colin for sharing your interesting experiences and the wonderful people you meet along the way. ❤😊

[@kenwood9401]

way to go nice work on the quick change on the sail drive love watching all the work and views of New Zealand have a good depart

[@judycook1918]

I a can’t wait to see the reunion with your dogs! Stay safe and well.

[@IshanFernandouditha]

Hello Colin, I'm watching your video from the beginning, and you mentioned my country, Sri Lanka, today. I'm very delighted that you guys are coming here 😀

[@christianlevac7097]

I think you’ll have a great time in South Africa and you can make some cool stops before going there. Highly recommend that route instead of the Red Sea. Will keep watching for the next legs of your journey. Cheers 🍻from 🇨🇦!

[@robertribbit]

Can't wait to see what adventure you take us on next. I'll be here enjoying every second you give us.

[@timtrinkaus7072]

Great work Colin and Crew way to get it done again!!

[@daveumr]

Jamie - you’re the best 1st mate jumping in the water!

[@KreizK]

The way you handle failures, golden. That's what I need, I need that through it. Thank you for your perseverance in everything you do."Great human right here people, make way!!!

[@ger5881]

Again and again what a pleasure to see these video's, would loooove to join them on a trip, what a epic bunch of people

[@GeorginaLow-o5e]

Hectic 24 hours!

[@zmanindy]

Very cool episode and looking forward to seeing the dogs back on board. Safe sailing.

[@williamoorejr]

Having worked on the old Volvo cone clutches, ya good job switching to the disc LSD and motorcycle clutch type. Once those cones started slipping- they were done- you could get a few more miles out of them with some work, but they always came back to haunt you.

[@caliaccarino4416]

Great vid.

[@timwheeler527]

You guys are the dawgs! Epic all nighter. You came thru! Inspirational for us all!

[@rayb3117]

Wooooooowwwww, you guys are killing it. I love your adventures, You guys also seem to like the longer sails a bit more I cannot wait to the shennanigans.

[@scottymac101]

look forward to seeing the Solomon Islands again, Bellona and Rennell Islands are amazing!!

[@patricklee3040]

I just finished all of your videos. What an adventure. Thank you for sharing. Like many others you’ve rekindled an interest of sailing I once had as a child and plan on working to get my own boat one day. Guess I better start those sailing lessons. I’m not a Patron yet but plan on becoming one. Take care and safe travels.

[@jgatkinson744]

Grate video as usual I watched this ever since y’all started out with a hurricane damage boat watched you rebuild every inch of it. That was some undertaken, but you are doing what you set out to do so thumbs up to you guys and all you do for sailing.

[@matrixmike4089]

Great video, that sail drive saga was well handled, been there, so frustrating. You manage to help me appreciate what you guys are experiencing, so in a way so am I.

[@TerryKeever]

Fair winds and followings seas as the adventure continues. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@zx1100a1]

Any job well done is worth doing twice? 😬 I'm glad it worked out mate. 👍🍻

[@larssolem2507]

I just bloody love your videos Colin, no more to say!

[@williamgatewood847]

Anyone else feel the vibes between Colin & Brittany at the gas station?? 🥰👀

[@raftguy]

The stuff about the forces on the shrouds etc is very interesting, as is the input from Jonas too.

[@johnpedersen7752]

Nice to see you are picking up the dogs .I wonder if they will remember you all .That will be great footage meeting them again .

[@rezawaheed8879]

kia ora to aloha. loved the music on the gear rebuild . benny hill remember!! safe passage😎

[@vanessavandervalk1084]

Truly an inspiration to watch how all is accomplished! Love to ya'll & fair winds & following seas 😍🙌❤........

[@heinrichsteyn1631]

Colin and crew , well done on that rebuild mate 👏🏻….. I can see South Africa Cape Town in your future!! … lots too see & do all the way down the East coast , round the tip and then all the way up the West Coast !

[@floathi]

Great work! Be safe.Cheers

[@JohnR-NZ]

Hi Colin and your crew just joining you here from Wellington NZ and looking forward to your travels north to Fiji, I have never been north of NZ sailing so it'll something new 👍👍🇳🇿

[@nigelwalton4769]

Loving it from PALMY....it just gets better and better...

[@OurCabinInThewoods]

Heck yeah this is a blast. thanks for sharing this every weekend. Be safe.

[@DYoung-vt8pq]

Love you guys! Looking forward to seeing you in warm environs again. Safe travels. ❤

[@daveumr]

Dude Collin that’s crazy you remembered it out of the blue like that. Glad you got it out back together ok

[@benshore7357]

Looking good 🎉 you do it nice because you do it twice . Onwards to Fiji 🎉

[@waynesinkler6345]

Great job , amazing how being tired does things to the mind! Get the dogs!🎉❤😎

[@Philjamon]

Hello Colin and Jamie, I have been enjoying your videos every Sunday afternoon for a considerable time now. If you have any doubts about going to Europe or coming to SA it's a no brainer brother. We would love to see you in Durban, sailors there I am sure will host you. There is a lot to do and see in Natal, game parks etc. Then call in at Cape St Francis where Trevor would love to show you the area. Then Cape Town, modern fun city. Then you can fire off to wherever. So come visit Bro.

[@wayneschembri3754]

Your channel it truly an inspiration even when things go wrong expect and adapt ❤ thank you

[@JamesBond-xq3tw]

You have todo Chagos ,it’s wonderful

[@rickburton72]

love you guys be safe on your trip to Fiji

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

I came back to add an off subject thank you for sharing the sinking of Bayesian on your Instagram. I've been enthralled in the developing rescue/recovery story and, as of late, the multitude of theories of why she sank. When the waters have settled, I would love to hear your professional thoughts. Pointing fingers towards the crew seems to be the prevalent direction of blame. My heart aches for the families of lost loved ones. RIP

[@rickfucci4512]

From Tirdmaran to Nerdmaran. Great job...

[@rtv3114]

Would be awesome to finally get to meet you guys would love a sail. Please keep us up to date CPT 🇿🇦

[@BCS2023]

Lagoon engineers probably feel like flex/movement in the hull can be minimized with the greater loads. Your added reinforcements have likely changed that situation - adding rigidity so that the rigging no longer needs to be cranked down to reach a rigid structure. Sail on, brother.🧐

[@sailingmurdina]

Back on the water next week, love the prep and work vids but so looking forwards to this passage.

[@MrMattDat]

Your adventures continue!! Love seeing Parlay continue!

[@joemedcalf7732]

Spectacular Colin, you and your crew have done everything within your power to make your sailing vessel home safest it could possibly be and our hopes and prayers are with you and the crew for a safe passage. And we anxiously await for footage from the same. Could not imagine making such a passage with your old through holes, and receiving news of a sinking or sunk parlay on the news. But we have faith in your abilities if an emergency arose and you had to abandon ship you have experience in that inflatable life-saving apparatus lol.😂

[@dalewatson7982]

Jamie is the man! Best channel on utube 😊😊

[@FrEeWaY7k]

glad ya'll managed, save travels!

[@jonathanholland59]

Love the video. Looking forward to seeing future episodes.

[@peteralexson9587]

I am so jealous! Godspeed Parlay

[@kellyiannone]

Yeah!!! Fiji here you come!

[@jenni-Poo]

So excited about the adventures to Fiji!

[@TheEdge92]

Super stoked for the tropics! Maybe check out Zatara's Red sea crossing and what they said about it. Because cruisers actually pass the red sea in groups which is actually quite safe because the pirates target single boats.

[@ChasingGrace21]

my heroes. keep being inspiring badasses. love from Grenada
