[@sdnorat]

@@david_shih , just discovered your channel and spent the past few days binging your amazing journey from the first video to the most recent. Your creativity and perspective are incredibly unique, especially among sailing KZbinrs. Can’t wait to watch more content. Your story telling and video production have really evolved since the first videos and are now on par with the best channels out there. If you ever decide to make a video outlining your process and/or decide to put together a Patreon only guide to your style of content production I’d be the first of many to support you. Keep up the great work!

[@Cubamara]

The basics of sailing can be taught in one afternoon. Sailing across an ocean is allot more complicated. All of us learn through direct experience. You can learn and be taught how to sail in high winds and large waves. Until you actually do it, you won’t really have the skills to handle the boat under that kind of pressure. No matter how much you prepare for an ocean crossing shit will start to go wrong the very first day you set sail. You will learn fast a crew of 8 and 2 dogs is not ideal. Looking forward to seeing how Jamie and you did the Panama to Texas voyage. I have only done it once. We initially pointed toward Jamaica. Once clear of Baja Nuevo, turned Northwest to the Caymans. We then shot the Yucatan Channel, taking left fork of the current into the gulf. Tequila is nice, but rum is better. If you pounded your way past Nicaragua and Honduras, I look forward to seeing that.

[@david_shih]

cuba, can't agree more. i tell everyone i've learned more in a day of sailing with Parlay than in weeks of sailing classes. And yes, we did sail right past nicaragua and honduras...very far off short tho as we were scare of pirates.
