He did mention that himself.

[@kersmash723]

stickers are actually edible

[@craigwaterman7948]

Glad to see you bought an ozone generator. It can do so much for you onboard, its a no brainer and I don't understand why every yacht doesn't have one onboard. In fact every yacht should be built with one.

[@adamlannerd1408]

I like the videos where it's just the boys hanging out.

[@Dh-de9op]

same. funny buggers😆

[@shegally]

Me too. More technical tuturials

Finally! The rat tail is gone! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@williamearlam7786]

Love the David AttenBrah snippet, can’t believe you got him on, shows blowing up 😂

[@IroncladIndustrial]

Had the pleasure of seeing a humpback whale today of the coast of Costa Rica while on a catamaran. AMAZING!

[@oceanadventures365]

Ahoy boys nice haircuts and great work on the nav systems! Full steam ahead. Tons o love from Auntie and the Ballie!

[@siberia1409]

I'll bet the time where it was just Colin, Jamie and Tom was a "HOOT!" You three guys together make it interesting for sure! CHEERS!

[@shegally]

The National Geographic "like" narration of the hump.back whales 😂. Awesome. Dolphins whales and tuna. Trifecta blessing. A very good omen 👌

[@islandboy50]

Yes, on the island of Maui Hawaii we get to witness the birth of the humpback whales in February and March. I've been fortunate to get to see them from my kayak, where one actually swam right along us while looking back at us and then swam right underneath the kayak to the other side of us. He knew we were there and thankful he didn't hit the kayak as he continued to swim on. That was certainly an experience of a life time to remember and I'm very glad to have shared this experience with all of you. ALOHA!

[@larrymeyer2917]

Hi Guys, a few tips, that depth sounder is expected to be removed regularly as sea life attaches, there is a flap that reduces the inflow of water so no need to panic, attached the blanking plug close by while you withdraw sensor to clean it. Yeah you guys are in warm water and probably scraping that hull frequently and cleaning the season from out side. Not so here in PNW. Also, install 2 mast steps at about 300mm above your max height with halyard and use a well made loop to hold, ease yourself onto step, so that you can see top of mast components during maintenance. I only use a harness as activities such as halyard rethread at sea are not safe using a bosuns chair.

[@goofsaddggkle7351]

Come on - you have to give anyone credit as a boat owner and especially Colin as a frickin experienced megayaught engineer to understand that some water is going to come in. 😅 This was for drama and also a little extra stress as the actual boat owner.

[@williamgauld7892]

Having been a boats engineer on commercial fishings boats for 27 years in my past one of the cheapest remedies to help keep rust at bay on steel fittings under deck spaces was Denso Tape (Grease coating Fibre Tape). I'm sure you probably know about it but i found it a massive help and just thought it might be good to mention it. We used a Canadian brand as it was better quality and worked well. Keep up the crac boys your keeping us all on the water even if we don't have a boat.

[@rogerbayzand4455]

Yup, always wrapped our hydraulic fittings with Denzo tape, even lanolin spray would keep those track rod ends from rusting.

[@TheMusictolife]

great advice thanks.. never knew about this product, I usually brush on grease but this is way better, cheers!

[@dutchpot]

careful with the ozone! If you smell it, the concentration is too high. Do a good treatment on a timer when you are not on board.

[@poeg1991]

What a hilarious David Attenborough imitation😂😂

[@FernandaFoertter]

The David Attenborough impression was 🤭🤌

[@Drew-C-]

hahaha Jamie "not far off" with a quickness. hilarious

[@oomwat6101]

Get yourself an ammo case for the spare electronics, the metal of the case should act as a faraday cage to protect against the EMF you will experience in a future strike, it'll also keep the electronics nice and dry :)

[@easternsuneasternsun171]

If there was an emp wouldn't that effect the very satellites the electronics rely on ?

[@oomwat6101]

@@easternsuneasternsun171 While related the two are not the same thing. EMP - ElctroMagnetic Pulse - a wave of EMF that causes widespread destruction. EMF - ElectroMagnetic Field - the field generated by a current flowing through a conductor - used in motors and generators, but is also a result of electricity being carried down the path of a lightning strike. When you place items inside a steel box, then the field will tend to induce the majority of its current into the box itself rather than the contents. Ideally you'd want the box made of soft iron, but steel should suffice.

[@vonytidmar7759]

David Attenborough is a national treasure in the UK great attempt at his voice 😂

[@arjunan101]

lol 5:56"like a real old broken cow"!!!

[@JoshMoore424]

Colin- I have seen a ton of creators lately having trouble with the GoPros. They just aren’t innovating anymore and seem to have been unable to keep up to compete - so their products are actually going backward. For your lifestyle I would recommend trying at least one of the dji or insta360 cams. They’re about the same price and the magnet systems are insane. And they work. Haha! Stay safe

[@fespa]

Especial appearance: Sir Attenborough. 🤣🤣🤣 Great!

[@tomsummers1137]

Hey bru. Septuagenarian sailor here who lived and worked in Kiwilandia, as well as Ticolandia and Panama. I don’t always sail (these days). But when I don’t…I watch sailing vids instead. One of the best is your channel. Carry on.

[@duncanhalliwell1306]

If your view is restricted for looking into a terminal box etc. try using a mirror. Most hardware stores will carry them on a little telescoping pole. Found them invaluable in tight spaces over the years. A flashlight along with the mirror in dark spaces like the bilge! Great video as always!

[@the1beard]

Best Hair Cut of the Channel ever 👍 Go Pro is total rubbish ..

[@floydtitus8246]

Parley has a great crew, you guys definitely seems to work great together!

[@rayb3117]

How you keep your positive attitude is beyond me bro. Getting struck for a second time would have done my head in and I might have just thrown the keys to Jamie and walked off. But you guys handle this all in stride. Kudos to all off you. And I hope you get some new crew. Keep what you are doing, because you are an inspiration to not only me, but many others. CHEERSSSSSSS!!!

[@andreacrashe9894]

*Kia ora Colin & crew. Another great vid... glad the parts are arriving in to fix the issues. Awwwww to see & film the Humpback whales, now that was AWESOME.*

[@liamirelander4221]

you should make a power plug on the marine equipt that you can unplug whenever you suspect a lightning storm it be alot less stuff to replace and your not using it at anchor

[@DIYNauticalDream]

That's an interesting idea.

[@jessiebrader2926]

The only foolproof solution is to disconnect and remove the expensive stuff and put it all in the oven or any other metal box. Tedious but worth it if you are leaving the boat for a few months.

[@liamirelander4221]

@@jessiebrader2926 it will travel through power wires untill it ground at the water its not a emp the oven is not needed just disconnect from the system the key is really making sure nothing is grounded after you disconnect it cause very high voltage is always going to come down you wires from the anchor light

[@donnakawana]

I am glad you are getting her ship shape again .. Thanks for sharing your lives with us!! An who gives a rats who is upset about some hair.. when ppl comment like that... It says more about them then it does about you!! ✌🏼💗😊⛵

Thank you, watch you guy's every Sunday morning with a cup of coffee.

[@wildaltarose]

Thank you so much for videoing the humpback and her calf. I’m not any good at technical stuff, but that never stops me from watching you work. I am happy it won’t be long until you start your grand adventure. Please stay safe!

[@ds6843]

Poke bowls are sooo damn good California has the best I've seen so far

[@stewartspeer1]

For that blind work above your head, get an adjustable mirror on a long stalk, such as a motorcycle rear view mirror. Bodge up a mount that will grip the mast. Once in place, adjust and voila, you can see what you are doing. The idea also works for blind holes below deck where you cannot get both your head and hands into. A life and frustration saver...

[@jessiebrader2926]

Just add stirrups to the boson's chair.

[@jiefflerenard1228]

Finally a boat with an ozone generator,if it is powerful enough it is going to fix any mold problem, and bugs and critters and bacteria while you are away (do not breeze).

[@kendall6030]

Glad you are getting things repaired and back up and running. Looking forward to the Pacific crossing.

[@crankyoldguy2]

Another approach to replacing the depth sounder: get a small plastic bowl. Put caulking compound around its rim and then stick it on the outside of the hull over the spot where the depth sounder is located. The water pressure will hold the bowl in place while you pull the depth sounder. Shouldn't get more water in than the volume of the bowl.

[@matthewsellers82]

If you're worried about water ingress and you have SCUBA onboard have a diver with an empty tin can cap the hole from the outside. We even used this trick to install through hulls without hauling. Two people; Pre coat the outside section of the through hull with 5200 before the diver gets in the water; diver positions themselves close to where the through hull is to be installed; inside person drills 3mm hole from the inside pushing the drill past the flutes to the shank; diver covers the drill with an empty can; inside person now drills the full-size hole; diver takes off the can and pushes in the outer section of the through hull into the hole sealing the opening with their palm; inside person secures the fitting and installs the valve. Sounds scary but does work with minimal water ingress.

[@davidjulian8536]

Just hope the diver doesn't drop anything!!

[@nwanchorcertification]

The narrations is spot on

[@bobsyoureuncle2888]

Do lightning rods on the mast, both bows, and sterns. 2 gage wire and tie railings together. Down to blowout panels just above the waterline. Surge protectors on everything. Then you can take a direct hit with no issues. Right now it's hitting your lighting or systems on the mast and smashing your whole electrical system. Lookup Thompson's Method for details and specifics in building a system. Thompson's Method is the USCG standard for lightning protection. All you need is 5 lightning rods, wire, and connectors.

[@eniopazos338]

Hi bro. I’m from São Paulo -Brazil and I love your vídeos and all work you deed on Parlay. Fantastic job, congratulations…😎🇧🇷🐕

[@martinsmallwood9605]

Thanks you reminded me of that feeling Fire up the engine drop the mooring and heading out. Feeling the vibrations though your feet and the surge of progress looking onward to the next navigation point. Your mind reviewing possibility of the destination and opportunity opening ahead. . Priceless. At lest two fully independent systems . For depth sounder, GPS, charting, heading, radios etc. as per NZ cat one. Some things are nice to have not necessary. wind speed and direction are under that heading Your senses are more reliable than any machine.

Always use a loop d loop on any cables in weather, water will pool at bottom of loop, saving all rest of cable from corrosion..👍🏿

[@Psalm1101]

You have a great crew for crossing the Pacific good guys good friends

[@Condre3000]

7:25 - Apple smoothie eh? Extra nutrition from the sticker too? Extra fiber i guess

[@mikeskelly2356]

If the boat is going to be left unattended for some time, would it do any good to disconnect the more expensive bits from the system? The only things that have to be left on would be bilge pumps and solar/shore power connections and converters.🤔

[@OnTheFlipSide]

How friggen fantastic to witness that muma and her calf, absolutely stunning. ❤❤❤❤

[@jayjunior7608]

Nice new editing styles and backround music. Great work.

[@hanssolo4ever]

Put some silicon grease on those O-rings on the transducer and there is a less risk of damaging them and the transducers goes in easier.

[@ParlayRevival]

Yep we did.

[@DYoung-vt8pq]

Sir Richard Attenborough, very nice! 😎❤️

[@kevinwittenauer6892]

Use spray bomb clear coat on those tie rod ends, for that matter, clearcoat anything that will corrode. It will help slow the corrosion.

[@RGF56]

Great to see that K1W1 Tom got rid of his pull start 😂

[@rl8992]

Nice hair cut Tom!

[@sailingares]

Bonding does work...naturally your mast and riggin could ground out through the keel and zincs... but bonding to the motor mounts may pass future harmful hits through the shaft / prop...considering a house I grounded out from hits to hydro stacks, etc, by no6/9 cu wire what your mate did by putting the wire in water would work.

[@leosarrade8995]

It looks like you guys had fun on this episode. Another fun one to watch! (Ya GoPro, get your shit together, hahaha)

[@derekhoughton1346]

great episode as usual Guys. Know the feeling about opening the hole in the hull, Scary stuff. After watching your NZ episodes i hope all the family are ok after the really crap weather Auckland and Northland have had over the last week. I'n UK based but my son and daughter-in-law live in Blenheim and i watch Stuff to see what is happening over there. Auckland is the best city I have been to. Love the whole of NZ.

[@tinytoons2517]

My achy breaky heart has to wait till next weeks episode . . damm.

[@spinkey4842]

pro tip.... next time you go up the mast, attach another strap to the bottom of the seat/ harness. that way when you need to do work on the top of the mast and you run out of line you can stand on that piece under you to get another few feet of height

[@louisduthil2727]

Avoid lighting strikes drop anchor to direct the voltage to the ground

Hi I have learnt so much from you. I have been to look at a Catamoran this weekend 10m .I am going to get a survey. Being a women I have got a good drill and can do some stuff myself. But I do not know anything about Diesal engines. Can you run a Catamoran on one engine? I would prefer to go Electric but will not be able to afford that right away. I am not sure about going up the mast either.

[@CraigHaylip]

Small correction. The humpbacks you saw weren't from Antarctica, they were mostly likely from California or Oregon. Antarctic humpbacks would be there in the northern hemisphere summer months.

[@DIYNauticalDream]

Another great video. You guys always know how to have fun and get projects done. We recently purchased a new gopro 11 with the media mod and we have had nothing but problems with this gopro. Pure junk. Locks up and won't shut off. Sometimes records but no audio just like you experienced. Likely the last gopro product we will buy. We enjoyed the part where you swapped the transducer while the boat is in the water. Great work Colin and crew.

[@SVCabo]

Super smooth transition with the depth sounder.

Hey guys, I found your channel via David Shih and watched the last year of your videos while at home sick. Just thought it a bit funny when I checked on Google Earth where you were in dry dock at Linton Bay, if you have a look, both David's boat and Parlay are still there in the satellite picture. Love your channel. Keep up the great work.

Amalgam tape breaks down quickly in sunlight. I suggest covering it with electrical tape and then use liquid tape to cover the electrical tape. Lasts forever.

[@mikeshultz1007]

Stainless steel rivnuts work really good for mounting things to the mast and they can also be used in fiberglass for mounting just about anything.

[@pursuitforadventure]

Great video! Hopefully you come to the end of the lightning strike damage soon. Really feel for you guys

[@runemartinguldberg9056]

Autopilot is not a navigation aid. It’s an equipment make it more easy so you can have less attention to navigation. So it’s an easy fix increasing risk of sailing. Anyway there shall always be a lookout. A lookout stearing the boat is a sharper lookout than one using an auto pilot.

[@stephenhoward4191]

yeah ohms law is pretty easy to master . a very simple formula hope it helps u in ur time of woe.!

[@Kiwisail]

I love Tefgel as an anti-corrosive compound but not ideal for mast fittings. I was doing a delivery on a Swan 86 some years ago. It had just had a big refit, mast paint etc. Mainsail track machine screws were fitted with Tefgel and by mid-Atlantic they had worked their way out to the point we could not reef the sail. 2 trips up the mast to screw back in and let the Harken cars past but by then had ripped the mainsail. When we got to the Azores we had the local sailmaker bring the sewing machine to the boat as this was easier than taking sail to loft. For mast fittings always use Duralac.

[@Jack-ne8vm]

Drones need options for operations on moving vehicles.. Hold position using avoidance cameras & moving landing pad target.

Jeeeeeesus Colin. All that crew to hand steering for 200 odd miles.. harden the fuk up boys ....we hand steered 11,000 miles in an old Windjammer from Australia to Brazil via Cape of Good Hope...250 tons with 13 sails no problems.. and we all had long hair.and beards...ha !!!

[@Ninja_Sloth]

hell, Delos did a bunch of hand sailing over the years to appreciate their auto pilot. I think Brian just hand steered in last video because he lost auto and never complained

[@MrAjayz]

I’ve had the same issue with the GoPro mod mic… I use the DJI mic and it can record a second back up copy in case the wireless recording fails. Well worth the money.

[@jstarebel]

Glad you're getting your boat sorted after the lightening strike.. "Your Network".. Yes it's nice to have everything connected together with the latest technology.. However, there is an old saying with old sailors regarding networks.. "You're a diode away from disaster".. Which is why many old sailors have everything separated instead of connected to a network.. Just sayin.. Fair winds and enjoy the boat show.. "JstaRebel"..

[@SailingSVPipedream]

Don’t worry to much about the hair. I got all stressed about mine as I thought it was receding, stressed for like a year about it… then I found a photo of myself when I was twenty and realised my hair line is exactly where it was all those years ago.
