Inviting 50 Patreons into my family home in New Zealand! 👀 - (Episode 254)

[@TamTam04]

It was so special to see New Zealand for the first time through Colin's eyes! I can't wait to go back to see so my new friends. Thank you Colin, Britt, Katie and Jamie (and the sponsors) for such a wonderful week 🥰

[@AlaskanAdventurer907]

I typically do not comment on anyones videos but your achievement of going home is worthy enough for me to throw my voice in with the throngs. My family and I missed you in Puerto Vallarta by days. It was such a bummer to leave our resort by the marina before getting to see Parlay dock up in Bandaras Bay. We first saw you on Bravo and then started following your channel. Your, humblness, strength of character, work ethic, willingness to help and mentor whenever you can, is very admirable. My wife and I are among the large number of people you have helped inspire to document their own journeys on youtube. Congratulations on all your achievements. Should you ever find yourself in Southeast Alaska, sailing the inside passage, you have friends you can reach out to here. Until then, we will continue to follow you and seeing all the joy you bring to people.. P.S. Your sound tracks are pretty on point. Keep up the good work.

[@cdb160]

The Parlay Revival channel, and this video especially, should be sponsored by the New Zealand tourism bureau! You showcase your country beautifully! Your homecoming, after watching your channel for years, has been such a joy to watch. So heart warming. Thank you!

[@jamesmcswain8120]

This channel is what social media should be about. Sharing experiences with the world and putting a smile on someones face. Great job to everyone who has helped to make it last this long.

[@dougford5691]

Parley is without a doubt a BEST Sailing Channel on you-tube. Colin and crew are so genuine. Fair winds mate!

[@ParlayRevival]

Thanks so much mate!

[@Kim-up5zw]

Totally agree, great show of hospitality and how you bring people together from around the world. I cried with some of their comments.

[@garryroper3418]

That organisation was outstanding. Never saw a non smiling face the whole episode! Well done to Colin and his crew MATES!!

[@ParlayRevival]

Appreciate that man

[@alman-world]

I think that said it "its such an unusual lovely feeling" Thats it - thats why we are here!

[@victoriasmith1897]

I smiled all the way through. SOOO lovely to have all these memories recorded. Thank you Colin, Britt, Katie and Jamie and all the other Patreons for a FABULOUS WEEK! XX

[@ParlayRevival]

We loved it too Victoria! 😊

[@rolandsweet]

I simply don’t understand!!! How has your channel not blown up more, your story is incredible…your episodes are super well curated and put together. Keep up the honest, non clickbate good content!!! Well done Colin and team! Please swing past Cape Town, South Africa. Ideally in Feb when the weather is at its best!

[@ParlayRevival]

Thanks Roland! Still got to decide whether we go around South Africa or up through the Med but cape town would be pretty sick!

[@rolandsweet]

@@ParlayRevival Cape Town is the best!!! You have to come, especially at that time of the year. Our coastline is incredible then heading up the horn of Africa and visiting the islands will be epic. Keep up the incredible stories. 🚀

[@nyc8452]

Love this Colin - looking after the people that look after you. Not many KZbin channels would take you to their family house for a BBQ. What a great melding of beautiful people.

[@SharonM0791]

How amazing to watch everyone making memories. Your family is so proud of you. You can see them light up as they talk about you.

[@victoriasmith1897]

They are. Surprised at success not being the way they thought it would be but they always knew he was talented.

[@ParlayRevival]

Cheers Sharon!

[@lindamedders6700]

Colon, you can leave this world knowing you have made a difference in thousands of peoples lives. You and your crew are remarkable. I can't wait for Sundays to roll around. Love you all!

[@geneedmonds3702]

@@ParlayRevivalI feel the same way as you do, Replies , Colon an his first mate really has made a difference I’m my life watching the two take on things and not just throw things together but do them right because lives are depending on your work in the middle of the ocean. Both of you are heroes of mine and my hat is off to you guys.

[@ssn608]

Thank you to the Patreons and to the sponsors ( Precision Sails, Heineken, Total Boat, and more over the years) who made this possible. And not just this episode.... but the whole epic saga we have all enjoyed so much. Thank you crew (past and present). Thank you Colin. Fair winds and following seas to you all!

[@CoryWitte]

Props to Brit for managing to fit the entire week in one video, I didn't think it would be possible after experiencing it! Also, I got the chills just watching the video looking through that stupid floor!

[@ParlayRevival]

Thanks Cory!! Pumped you flew all the way there to have this experience with us 🙌🏼

[@denvernugg1151]

Are you even a Parlay fan if you didn't worry she would never sail again. Thank you for these years of Sundays brother Colin

This is great to see hospitality being given to all the Patrons/people who backed the channel.

[@ParlayRevival]

Thanks mate

[@debbiecollins1154]

Colin I binged watched every episode. I just want you to know how much I have enjoyed each and every one of them. I’m 63 and had to live exactly what you are doing through your eyes because of family issues I never was able to fulfill my dreams of sailing. Thank you for showing me what my life could have been and how life can change in a short time. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hi Colin, and all the team I was in Auckland in 1985 and I went on a organise bus trip to Rotorua and all around for 14 hours and I absolutely love it and unfortunately I’ve never been back to New Zealand since but it’s always been in my heart to get back there one day. Unfortunately I lost a leg in a truck accident above the knee and it’s very hard to travel around now. Thank you for all the great videos. Keep up the good work guys Cliff from Australia.

[@ParlayRevival]

Many thanks for watching Cliff! Hope all is well

[@ki6hzs]

I have to say, you got your good looks from your beautiful mother 😂 Love your content/show! Keep up the great work. I’m another one of your long time followers, always look forward to the next video! Thanks so much for being you. I won’t bore you with details but I’m handicapped, mobility issues… Yawn, I know.

[@rcgrizz]

What a wonderful storyteller you’ve grown into. And even better, you’re touching people in such a positive way, both with the folks you meet on your adventure and on your YT channel. In a world that seems to loathe stirring anger and mis-trust, you demonstrate, and live out, love and happiness. What a blessing you bring to your 310K subscribers every week. I begin a 600 mile pilgrimage walking across Spain next week and will not be able to watch your weekly episodes for 60 days. I’ll miss your smiles, and those of your crew, but I’ll be thinking about each of you, and praying you’ll continue to touch people in a positive way. And perhaps, someday, our paths will cross. Peace be with you, and your crew.

[@ParlayRevival]

Wow, goodluck on your pilgrimage! That sounds hardcore man!

[@barrycashman7001]

Colin went to Mudbrick wineries a few years ago with son in law whose from Auckland. It was amazing wines, and the lamb dishes were to die for. Would go back there in a heartbeat.
