INSPIRATIONAL TRIPLE AMPUTEE SAILING AROUND THE WORLD...

[@Floatingnestsirius]

I just have to say thanks to colin and the parlay revival team. Now things have died down a little and i can honestly say i never expected the reception this has received. im truly humbled, thanks to everyone who watched and commented. and thanks to all the new subs.

[@Patron_TheBoss]

Incredibly brave of you & really inspiriing to see you not lettin' anything limit yourself, huge respect & wish you well ❤

[@roberthauselman3108]

Dude....."If the world doesn't work for you change it" ... hell ya. Everyone should see this video. Thank you Colin for this. '

[@richardjones2701]

Hi Collin. I seldom post remarks on line, but I have to say how inspiring this episode was. I got the majority of my sailing skills from racing an International 5O5 one design dinghy I sailed it for more than fifty years. The boat was hand built by the previous and original owner. Built from aircraft grade ply in a double diagonal construction, finished like a piece of French furniture Now after fifty years plus some, I have to cut it up and burn it. Now I'm sailing a C&C 39 which has become my new love. But now I'm tuning 79 and have chronic mobility issues do to Type 2 diabetes and a leg that got paralyzed in a routine hip replacement that didn't end up being routine. This episode filled me with the resolve to never, never ever give up. It's plain to see you're a very empathic person, and have very good presentation skills and your world view is evident by this episode. I would like to make one constructive critique. I have noticed how many vloggers have fallen into the bad habit of turning their heads while narrating. To put it bluntly, it's a bad habit and not at all professional. You have so much going for you, I hope you will make the effort to stay focused on the lens when speaking to the camera, it will put you at an elevation way above the others. Smooth seas and good winds brother. PS, please pass along my best wishes and thanks to Craig for sharing his inspiring story..

[@MichaelBean-h1s]

OMG. ❤. “ If the world doesn’t work for you just change it”. He needs to put that on tee-shirts.

[@nebraskahellbilly7653]

I been watching you Colin since the beginning and in july this year lost my left leg above the knee. like him i cried for awhile, then i got thru rehab an i thought poor me, but this my friend is something else to the next level. Thank you for sharing this it really hit home!!!

[@wyattfamily8997]

All the best to you from Australia, to me this guy demonstrates you never know what you can do until you try I guess. Have a great life.

[@markthemill]

Was it a blood clot?

[@raybedell883]

What An Incredible Person? Nothings gonna stop this guy. Attitude, Perspective, patience. Anyone can Sail. Some of US HAVE to SAIL!... God Bless him, his Crew, and his Travels.

[@josephp5058]

My good Lord, lm 70 and been living with stage 4 for the last 6 years, l struggle to walk and the chemo sucked the life out of me but lm inspired, l take my hat off my head and firmly doff it to this guy, what an absolute champion of a man God Bless, thanks Colin for highlighting this wonderful story - True Grit no more tears for me

[@Andy_M986]

Mate,much respect and luck to you .

KZbin 'run from the cure' the Rick Simson story

[@amandatolleson7740]

Rock on Sir and prayers for you!

[@SharonM0791]

What an incredible story. First, he dedicated himself to his country to serve and protect. Then set his mind to make the world work for him and thrives. Sailing truly can be healing

[@ruygutierrez2995]

Wonderful story! I became an amputee 2 1/2 years ago and thanks to another amputee who nudged me to continue my sailing passion, I have done so with the added bonus that we have made it our mission to teach other amputees how to sail. It is such an amazing feeling to know that one is empowering others to participate in this fabulous past time

[@barbaralane9825]

What an incredible episode. Thank you Colin for sharing this with us. So awesome to see someone really living their life.

[@ChrisCapell57]

As a veteran myself, I have so much deep respect for you young man, keep on going, you are an inspiration.

[@dalemullins4562]

If any one has the absolute right to hate the world it's him but instead he is a true inspiration!

[@jamest6837]

I a stroke at 61 and my left arm hasn't worked for the last 3 years..I never quit but i don't have half the guts craig has...incredible story, I'm just happy I can cut my own grass and drive a car..wish I would've seen this 2 years ago..love you brother! Beautiful family as well!

[@cindyreid6404]

Colin, you've outdone yourself on this one. The best I can do is give you a bunch of hearts because I'm so emotional and inspired to sail again ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😘 thank you

[@MrJackfff]

Incredible. Craig Wood, you're the definition of inspiration. Colin, thanks for continuing to share your journey!

[@marksonter7962]

Hi Colin, my wife and I watched this episode and were blown away, by the end of it I was choked up with tears but not due to feeling sorry for Craig, but mainly for admiration for what he has done and achieved, most people would see him as unlucky, Craig has a entirely different outlook, that makes him totally amazing. Looks like he has an amazing wife who is supportive but pushes him as well. Thank you for sharing this amazing person, your outlook is everything and he is the perfect example of this. Also Colin on a person note my wife commented on what a substantial impressive person you are, a genuine decent person with a great heart, quite refreshing compared to other youtube vloggers.. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

[@bethchisholm4858]

I agree with your wife. Colin just seems like the most genuine guy and in today's world that is saying something. I have never even heard this man complain about his life. He is a hard working man with a huge heart.

[@jay_behr]

I'm wheelchair bound at the moment, but I hope to circumnavigate one day, and this fellah IS an inspiration. What a decent human being! All the best Craig, you're an amazing human being.

[@stephenward3468]

My junior school class mate Chris and i were doing our army duty in 1979.Rhodesia.we were 7 month's in when Chris had both his arms blown off from an artillery round literally at point blank range.He is such an inspiration today.God bless you Chris.You give other people and veterans the courage to live and go forward with their lives.Craig my greatest respect to you as a former brother in arms.Chris and i were 18 0r 19 at the time.that is traumatic in itself.

[@wildaltarose]

I am at a loss for words! This Craig has overcome so much, how could he not be an inspiration to everyone. I hope that he never get tired of telling his story, for there is a whole world that needs to hear how he never gave up. I was so happy to hear that he has found love and has a young son, it’s because of his outlook on life. Thank you Colin for sharing this with us.

[@chrispy104k]

Total respect for Craig not letting a war, that has torn up his body, define who he is.

[@boppermacca9346]

Wow the horror Craig went through at still a young age is hard to imagine. But his resilience and determination is remarkable.. like he said and did, if you're not happy with how your life is going, you can change it, if you can't physically do something work out a way that works for you..

[@seanym67]

Craig is helping simply by sharing his story. Good attitude is essential. I'm a left leg below knee amputee (motorcycle accident) and I remember thinking while I was in rehab next to the guy with no arms, that I had barely earned the price of admission to the amputee world. Craig's right though, we each have our own struggles and we have it no worse or better than others, just different.

[@davepottinger3507]

Wow this man is unbelievable what a superb human Craig is & thanks Colin for introducing him to us

[@deborahpensarosa9289]

What a truly humble human being whom I have a deep respect. Makes my problems seem so little compared to his struggles. Thanks for sharing this video from the bottom of my heart🤗

[@goulash75]

Loved hearing his story. What an amazing man. Kudos to his parents too. It must have been hard watching their child go through that, and not knowing how to help, but the way they didn't let him wallow in grief, but supported him and found ways to inspire him is a testament to a parent's love for their kid.

[@RiverWoods111]

Thank you for making this story and giving him a microphone to speak from. I needed to hear him tell his story. Thank you

[@proud999saudi]

What an incredible inspiration… now that’s someone worth admiring his soul is just inspiring

[@matthewcarlile9916]

What a incredible man Craig is .there is nothing stopping him great inspiration

[@sisterchick9044]

Wow Craig is such an inspiration! Love this story! It has helped me so much to hear his attitude. I recently had my husband of 38 years walk out on our marriage. The last kid just left for college and now instead of retiring like my friends, traveling and enjoying grandkids, I am trying to find a new career to support myself. I was feeling so low and defeated. After listening to Craig it just makes so much sense. If you hate your job go get another one. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and just go find what you want to do. I just kept thinking I’m too old and too alone and too this and too that. Excuses! Look how inspirational both Craig and Collin are! This is a gift to so many!

[@4KChillVibes.]

My God Craig is a truly inspirational person. big respect to him for his fantastic outlook and inspirational words

[@jerrymollere1818]

What an inspiration that young man is; I will think about him as I go through life and how he leaves nothing stand in his way to success.

[@leeshropshire1681]

Jeez Colin, I follow you guys because you try to inspire all. That was another level brother, full respect ❤️

[@nooneanybodyknows1321]

Words escape me. God Bless you, Craig. Colin, thank you for sharing Craig's story.

[@robstubbs2772]

Wow I was already really inspired buy parlay but Craig has certainly has totally made me think hard about my future totally inspired here 💚🙏🤘

[@darkstar18498]

He is remarkable. I like his resilience and positive outlook. And I agree with him. My life took a detour in 2010 when I was diagnosed with terminal stage 4 skin cancer. With treatments I was given 5 years without a few months. It's 2022 now a lot did change but now I live every day the struggles make us all stronger. Enjoy life stay free of worries

[@noelioabrunhosa8195]

Thanks for posting this story, got my lungs damaged with covid and though was never going to sail again, now more determined to set my boat so I can sail again

[@davidfraserlank7285]

Shout out to Parlay Revival.Their uploads are scheduled but come across something that flips the script and Parlay adjusts.Respect.

[@puffwheat08]

What a man, a true hero and incredible human being.

[@antoniodesousabranco9354]

Craig you are proof of how unhappy most of us are and how much we don't enjoy life... always with complaints... that someone like you, can only consider as ridiculous. You are the example that our greatest limitation is inside our heads.

[@jefferyjohnson6344]

The military instills that kind of never quit mindset that he has. Learn from this man..

[@Shibalvr]

Once again Colin, another inspirational story. Wow, just set my thinking back a notch! Mahalo for this and we will for sure be following him in the future. Count ourselves lucky. Thank him for his service.💝

[@4040pmora]

Meeting and helping people is why we are here. It's almost impossible to "Feel" depressed when you help others. Love this episode.

[@vickiboyle2618]

Some can overcome, others can see no way out and forward. I think I would struggle. Full acknowledgement to those who overcome no matter what their trial may be.

[@rayb3117]

That was absolutely stunning. A triple amputee and he sails! If what he went through to get where he is at right now, isnot inspirational. Then I think maybe you might not have a heart beat. Craig, I love your whole vibe, you have turned lemons into lemonade and actually made a few gallons. Way to go mate. I am going to follow you on your journey and I will watch every episode. Sail on brudda!!

[@derrickboscombe2385]

Colin, thank you ever so much for sharing the chat you had with Colin. What an inspiration for all and I pray that many others get to see it. They will eventually becomes subscribers to Parlay and also follow Colin.

[@WillyB-ys1kw]

These are the reasons why In follow your channel. People need to realize it's not hard to be human. Be Good!

[@ginaboyd2461]

This was wonderful, thanks for being a platform for his voice and his journey. Fantastic episode and a remarkable individual.

[@stephenadamowitz559]

WOW! WOW! WOW! Craig takes away all excuses. What a spirit!! What an inspiration! He has certainly met his goal to inspire people. Awesome episode Colin!

[@peterthermocline]

Must be hard for him, seeing what has become of Afghanistan, but he is bigger than that💪

[@Huck19Bella]

Thank you Colin. What a remarkable human being Craig is and such an inspiration to me. I have been a power-boater since the late 80's and never interested in sailing before. Ever since I have been watching Sailing Parlay Revival I have found a new form of happiness to someday maybe be able to go out and buy my own sailing boat and sail the world. The main thing that has held me back is that I too am an amputee (lower left leg) and thought there'd be no way I could do this. After seeing this episode and listening to Craig's story I now realize I have no excuses whatsoever anymore.

[@mattking6999]

Craig is the man...cheers on finding a good woman and becoming a father!

[@kimbreitbarth457]

Wow. Mind blown. Life is so good even in the challenges. "If you don't like something.... change it". Mic drop.

[@davidleadford6511]

I admire a person that makes their handicap a part of their life, and not their life. May he always enjoy fair winds and following seas throughout his journey in life.

[@DarylSaunders737]

Ive just read all the comments..... And have nothing to add to an Amazing man and an Amazing story. Thanks Colin.

[@williesful]

What a f...img legend. If anyone ever feels down just watch this video and this chaps story and far out what a bloody legend. Thanks Colin very inspiring

[@swelltimeslife6996]

Truly inspirational man with such a refreshing outlook on life. After that massive life changing event, too come out at the end with the will to not only live but thrive. Total Respect. So glad you made this episode Colin.

[@justenoughchaos]

Colin, this is an incredible story, and I want to say how impressed I am with your production quality and editing. Incredible stories like this need to be shared, but to capture them and present them with such a high level of quality is *so* much more difficult than many people realize. From the framing to the audio/video quality, to the thoughtful inclusion of b-roll; really exceptional work. Thank you for sharing this.

[@michaelcaraway2305]

The honor this man has given you to spread his story is a tremendous one. This is the type of person we should all strive to be. Just living his life no matter what he has to overcome to do it is an inspiration to all of us

[@richardcole9558]

That man blew me away ..Wow ..people don’t come much more inspirational than him ..

[@SGudur]

Craig's life is so inspiring... In my view he is not the one with amputated limbs, but we are.. We are the one's who did not chase our dreams and were left behind.. Loads of love from India to all...

[@geoffhunwick9151]

Wow you are right Craig is a inspiration to use all.A brave joint couple with a baby born on the boat and to sail at times single SINGLE HANDED is quite something.That makes use all think and admire them.Thanks for the story mate.

[@jurgenosselaere6181]

living life to the fullest is accepting you only have 1 life. and you make full use of this according to your own possibilities . this is a testimony that inspires many people. my thanks for sharing this. I hope you continue to keep pursuing the dream and share it with all of us 🥰

[@divekatdreaming]

The comment about there always will be difficulties, so you may as well have them doing things that you like! I love Craig's outlook and his determination.

[@tlowe2502]

Great story, he's one of way too many people that have had their lives turned upside down because of war. You're definitely right he's an inspiration in many ways. Thank you for sharing his story with us. Well until next week at this time, fair winds and following seas.👍🏻👍🏻🏄⛵🐾

[@lorihutchinson9485]

Class, Colin. So much respect for this fellow sailor. Thank you both for sharing the story.

[@shanemichael3925]

When you get ready to complain about things not going right for yourself and think life is crap take a deep breath and think about Craig, thanks for sharing.

[@silasmarner7586]

Was that Camilla at 9:23? Well well well she's ALLLLLLLRIGHT in my book! I ain't gonna lie, I shed every tear in my body hearing his inspirational story. What a baaaad ass! And, might I add, a good looking guy (in a virile sort of way!) Great job showing this Colin! Good men the lot of ya!

[@jimpeterspeters176]

What a inspiration this guy is :) well done for showing this colin , really reminds us of just how lucky we are ! but this guys strength and character is just so awesome ! as a ex British squaddie my self i i have only top admiration for this guy thanks again for this colin :) a lesson for us all in living the life :)

[@maxmaxwell78]

Colin, thanks for this and Craig never let anyone you can't because quite obviously you can!

[@truthseeker111]

This is very inspiring, he’s just a man with incredible drive and plain guts! Reminds me of how my grandfather and their generation just rolled up their sleeves and did anything it took to provide for their families. You didn’t throw anything away you fixed it. I’m now a follower & looking forward to being inspired by your travels.. Mojo! ✨✨

[@marxtr6]

You’ve grown into being one hell of a man Colin. Great show. Thank you.

[@kendall6030]

Thank you for sharing Craig's story. So crazy that we whine and complain about our place in life rather than doing as he did and making things work.

[@timhollar614]

I wish there was a word of higher meaning than “inspirational”, because it would apply to Craig!

[@Antipodean33]

He looked very young when he got those injuries, which makes it all the more inspirational, because we all know what it was like being a young bloke, chasing chicks, riding motorcycles, hunting etc. His wounds makes all of my "war wounds" pale in comparison. I've no doubt his story will pull many out of a rut

[@engineeringconsulting5534]

Colin, Awesome video. Craig is the type of person that really makes a difference in the world. Thank you for sharing. Cheers! Blue Skies, Fair Winds, and Following Seas. Faithfully, James

[@jackiegaudette6225]

So I want to show it to him. With my sister living in Aruba an I, in Maryland... I've got to go.... to something positive an forward moving.. !! So the push sometimes comes in the form of other ppls words an actions.... I really needed to see an hear this today.... Grateful for this Strong an inspirational fella...

[@themt.oceans]

I can’t find the words, but your story is so moving. We all have challenges and roadblocks that keep us from fulfilling our goals. Seeing your determination and resilience makes me rethink some things I thought were too hard. I think that is the definition of inspiration. Very, very well done, every blessing for you and your family!

Wow what a Fantastic young Man- thank you for your sacrifice and service!! - Tanks for helping share his message

[@maverickmyrtlebeach]

Tom MacDonald put out a song the other day called "Fighter" Its people like Craig the song is built on I want to know more about this man and family . As for Colin meeting up with him, we would not have known about a young man fighting for his country he believed in. I wish we could look inside his mind an pull out the good stuff to give it to others in need of Craig's strength. Thank you so much sharing ~

[@lukemccloskey7918]

What a f'kn legend!!! In fact you are all legends!!! Thanks for sharing his story Colin and tell Jamie to bring back the handle bars!!! Its Movember!!!

Sailing brings the coolest people together 🙏 ⛵️

[@BelleBlu]

Can relate to Craig, after a motorbike accident & I lived a life with adventure but Craig trumps me absolutely! I thank a relative of Craig's, Jane Johns, for introducing me to Craig's adventures & achievements & I shall hope someday to meet him.

[@johnleget3923]

Unbelievable, by far the most inspirational video you have presented. Love you guys but I must admit that Craig rules. Thank you Colin.

[@dozerh2ost]

Absolute legend. God bless that family. An amazing story.
