Our Rigging is flopping around and it's the last thing holding us back from doing some epic sailing! No problem bc we tracked down a pro Rigger to make sure it would be done perfectly! Unfortunately, I still don't really know how to sail, but ‪@ParlayRevival‬ comes to the rescue. Not only did Colin and Jamie show me how to fix the bulkheads this past year, but now they're teaching me how to sail.

Here's the link for the art-buying platform i talked about in the vid: Skip the waitlist with this link: www.masterworks.art/davidshih

[@lilbeaupeep3719]

The link doesn’t work or the website was taken down for sounding like a scam. Lol if u could afford a $50 million painting why sell shares in it? Doesn’t that take away from the owner’s appreciation value if u are selling off shares? I collect designer purses. Anyone want to buy shares in a Burkin that u can’t see IRL or in your home EVER, use or possess? See how fast this gets deleted. Sorry, just thought it was a humorous concept but obviously a new type of investment I just never heard of. Good luck to all on owning a Masterpiece, or at least a very tiny part of it, like one wonky eye of a Picasso.The point is, I did try to go check out the website. So Dave, your sponsor did get a click or would have if the link worked.

Thx jon!

[@kptbillburkett8735]

Hope ya'll are getting closer to Casting the lines off. And sailing the world. The water line will come down. Once you get all your stuff on bord. In may drop 3 to 4 inches. It is always nice to have a bit more bottom paint above the water than not enough. Wow! So nice to see ya'll on the water. Is all the interior done yet? Or are ya'll still working on that? And I hope ya'll have video of that work? And as far as the fiberglass dust goes, I bet it may take years to get it all out. That stuff gets everywhere. Ok Thank ya'll for a Great video! I need some fun time with all that has happened lately. This morning I help put some stuff on a boat out of Kona for the people in Maui. I don't know if you have seen the Devastation there. The Entire Town is gone. Over 4000 families lost every thing. There are over a 1000 people messing. They believe half are children. The fire was so hot that they may never find all the dead. So if you could Pray for the people of Lahaina! They need all the help they can get. Ok until next time, Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii! 🌋🥂🍹

[@mattraisbeck3701]

I'd say you even got the waterlines matching between your lego and real catamaran. That special moment when life imitates art. Real talk though, if you just add about 3 or 4 more tons to your boat the waterline will be perfect. More batteries, more solar panels, barnacles....you'll get there no problemo.

[@Renereification]

My friend, everyone has to start off somewhere. This will be an amazing adventure for you and your family. IN a year from now, you're going to be right up there with your brethren sailors...The reason I decided to follow your channel was from seeing you on Parlay and they all have had fun with you aboard some of their journeys. I'm sure one day we'll meet up on the high sees.

*Yay your first sail , with the wonderful help from Colin, Jamie and crew of Parlay plus also Mike setting up all the rigging. Mary, I do worry about David going out with you & the kids on board all alone... But Mary please make sure all the radios are turned ON to all the different stations to seek help if needed.... and that every one is wearing life-jackets (and I stress this for the kids)... oh and take a few deep breathes in and breathe out slowly, when you think things are not quite right... then stop and think what Colin & Jamie told you to do... do it slow until it becomes second nature... Yell at David to STOP & LISTEN if needed. Good luck sailing to where ever you are going to sail too and please be safe. NZ*

David, I am sure you have more experience now, but I truly appreciate that when you were a newby you got experienced people to help you out so that everyone stayed safe.

Awsome video and great to see that Epic sail!!!

[@david_shih]

hey divecat! appreciate that you see through it all! safety and the family are my #1 priority, but the last thing i want to make videos about is preaching to the audience about how they should be safe here and do that there and not do this here....you know what i mean? otherwise i might as well add in a PSA about how people should drink or smoke...lol

The total capital available at college entry time has to be divisible by how many kids you have , which may or may not be four. At the rate your going you could have as many as ten. So, invest heavily. You should get your own website, and also you need to get into affiliated marketing to make some extra cash. Good luck and I really wish I was in your place.
