VISITING A REMOTE ATOLL WITH A POPULATION OF 8 PEOPLE! - (Episode 244)

In this episode we give yo ua step by step guide to building a thatch roof using only palm leaves. The island we are on is called Maupiha'a, and will be our final stop before we sail across the pacific to the next country!
SV Parlay is a hurricane damaged Lagoon 450 catamaran, which Colin rebuilt with friends and has started sailing around the world. We found bulkhead damage on their catamaran in Panama, so have fixed her up, and are now sailing across the Pacific Ocean!!

There is no one better at spreading joy and love and friendship than the crew of Parley Revival!! What an incredible gift they gave you and you gave them!! Fair winds ⛵️

[@ParlayRevival]

It was an amazing experience for everyone involved for sure! Thanks for watching :)

[@jenniferbrumett5406]

Each week this channel restores my faith that there are still genuinely good people in the world. ❤

[@ParlayRevival]

That’s great to hear cause there definitely are still lots of good people out there :) thanks for watching!

[@jensen4426]

I'm Polynesian and i feel really grateful for what you did for them, thanks a lot

[@karitane]

What a fabulous labor of love. Once again team PARLAY left a permanent mark on their adventures by what they left behind and that is what makes your channel so special.

[@ParlayRevival]

Thanks so much!

[@emilgiese]

Nothing better than being Goodwill Cruising Ambassadors! Congrats to Parley’s crew as they spread joy to islanders on their journey!

[@ParlayRevival]

Thank you!

[@WillN2Go1]

Yeah! Maupiha'a Yacht Club!! What if when cruisers visit remote people, maybe they could gather and share a List of the Wants the local people would like to have. Then if they're headed that way they can bring some of it. Be a great excuse for another stop between the Society Islands and Fiji. (Mahpiha'a just got added to my _I have to sail there_ list.) This might also generate a general list of what remote people need or would like to have. And for us sailors the drone images of the pass might be really helpful someday. Loved the weaving and construction of the roof.

[@pilarpicota2891]

My husband Jeff and I have been following you and Jamie for years. Today's episode brought tears to my eyes. There's nothing more rewarding than helping others that can't help themselves. Keep spreading the Love, Col!

[@ParlayRevival]

Thanks so much!

[@bobram94]

This is why I got hooked on this channel. The interactions Colin and the crew have with local people of each area visited. HAPPY SAILING, GUYS.😊

[@ParlayRevival]

Thanks for that!

[@westcoastfoss2850]

This is such an AMAZING channel! Collin, you are one of the best narrators in the world. Thanks for sharing your life with us.

[@effortlesschoice]

I second that…his narration is superb. 👍

[@ParlayRevival]

Very kind of you to say, thank you for following along 😊

[@ajones8764]

WOW!

[@alhubb66]

The world needs more Collins! Your heart ❤️ and Creative Brain 🧠 make a an amazing Human

[@sandraoflynn1849]

I have to say the highlight of my week is to tune into these videos. I’ve learned so much over the last few years watching your videos. I’ve never been so moved as I was in this one. Where you helped those lovely people. The pure joy in their faces to be able to get the materials that you guys gave them. It’s so true you give a little something your get it back tenfold. I’ve a new passion now to go and see these places. Thank you for sharing with us every week. It’s a privilege to be able to see and share your experiences. one good thing came out of BDSY was to find this page Colin. Thank you to all of you. Sail safe ⛵️

[@ParlayRevival]

Really appreciate that, thank you!😊

[@stewartleec]

The Parlay production quality and storytelling is the best in the sailing channel business. Another great episode and great leadership by Colin and the crew.

[@ParlayRevival]

Really appreciate that, thank you!

[@garygerard4290]

THAT was too cool how a bunch of different boat crews got together and built & cooked. GREAT sign - 'one of the best, inspiring videos you've put out.

[@ParlayRevival]

Really great to hear, thanks!

[@EverythingKiki]

OMG POOR DON AND BIG MON!!!! But that coconut crab sure made this stop #1!!! Lobsters too!! So jealous😋 It is such an honor to be associated with Parlay and her Crew🥰 Now I need to to go this place😎

[@Racerman27410]

Good people have a way of naturally finding each other! Relax and enjoy the ride.

[@ParlayRevival]

So true!

[@sailingmurdina]

Man, just what I needed on a Monday morning. Filled with joy and happiness watching you all pitch in to help with the roof was amazing. I really think you guys make things happen for people in more ways than you know.

[@ParlayRevival]

Aw thank you!

[@cmoreoverland6739]

So awesome. The wealth of a person is not what they accumulate in life but how much of an impact they leave behind for others to enjoy. Parlay crew is a true bastion of wealth. A Fort Knox of positive impact!! A North Star for the rest of us to follow in our own adventures.

[@ParlayRevival]

Thanks so much :)

[@Old-bold-pilot]

You guys make my Sunday every week! Cheers….👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@ParlayRevival]

Thanks man 👍🏼

[@grabasalad5945]

What an absolute joy to watch... There truly is hope for humanity when folk will give freely of their time and skills for the benefit of their neighbour...

[@ParlayRevival]

Thank you!

[@holodeckdragon8876]

Life at it's finest! Doesnt get better than that! What else are we here for??

[@ParlayRevival]

Couldn’t agree more 👌🏼

[@graceinhim]

YAY! 4K! Love it! Love Parlay! Keep it up!

[@ParlayRevival]

Thank you! Will do!

[@jonathanscott550]

Yet again another awesome video. I am surprised "Hell No"!! This is SV Parlays specialty. Well one of many so to speak? Fantastic filming and the coconut crab meal my mouth was watering with hunger and jealousy. The roof you all helped with for those islanders of Maupihaa with their yacht club was so nice. Nice is what Parlay, and their boater friends are known for. Thanks, you guys. The sailing into the Atoll and then out again both were an experience that will be in your memories for a lifetime or until you do it again. Good call to divert to the Cook Island due to weather getting worst. Safety first is another thing Colin is known for and good on you Colin. I could ramble on as I know you are actually in NZ now, but following the journey is a well worth watch every week. Stay safe cheers catch you next Sunday

[@ParlayRevival]

Thanks Jonathan! We so appreciate it.

[@jeffdavies688]

To see your dogs in the life jackets! Made me smile.....gotta love a dog!❤

[@ParlayRevival]

They’re the best ❤

[@davidbenji1]

WOW! What a WONDERFUL video! That was so awesome that Colin and his crew could help these people. And they enjoyed some HOLY CRAB in return!

[@tjjansma547]

Love seeing the joy giving back brings! 🙏🌞♥️✌️

[@ParlayRevival]

Agreed and thanks for watching!

[@mikerobinson8758]

Good on you for helping them put up the roof and donating line. Parlay leaving love where they anchor.

[@ParlayRevival]

Thanks Mike!

[@sboileau2]

Wow, such a random and amazing encounter

[@bobarmstrong2128]

A Thousand thumbs up for this episode.

[@brucerhodes8197]

I wonder how many more memories will be made at the Maupiha'a Yacht Club. I bet those of us who watch several youtube sailing channels will see that sign many more times down the road, with other groups of sailors taking their own pictures gathered together in front of it... Amazing job, kudos to all involved!!

[@ParlayRevival]

Thanks very much!

[@judycarmick2811]

Could each of your episodes get better and better? Yes!!!! They do. Your hearts of gold match the adventures and stories each week you give here. Your drone footage is incredible along with your crew as always. ❤

[@ParlayRevival]

Wow, thank you!

[@Katastrophe1112]

Splendid storytelling. I loved every second of this video. Just marvelous.

[@ParlayRevival]

[@ParlayRevival]

[@rogerwhite-hi5fk]

Another great flog what you all done building the roof for the family was incredible to see the smiles on there faces & giving them the rope can’t wait for next week stay safe out there

[@ParlayRevival]

Thanks 👍

[@ramishrambarran3998]

I am 68. For me, it is a very emotional thing to meet these islanders, live with them a few days, help them in whatever way I can, then leave everything behind. I applaud what you guys are doing, for most of it will never be seen. But you are touching lives, the way most of us cannot ! Love the dogs ! Regards. Trinidad & Tobago. West Indies.

[@enough1494]

I thought the same, from Culebra, PR SVI……what a great adventure, we just enjoyed!

[@QWTrucker]

what a cliff hanger nice job making us tune in next week. What a beautiful place it’s awesome how all the cruisers helped built the small bar

[@ParlayRevival]

Thank you!

[@mikemchale7639]

[@ParlayRevival]

Maybe one day haha thanks for watching!

[@slynn5138]

The channel is somewhat new and is growing each and every month, I have no doubt he’ll get up to an over 1 million subscribers. The adventures of Parlay are too good not to. 🏄‍♂️ 🏄‍♀️ ⛵️ 🍻

[@Moxieman]

It's because of the algorithm and people not liking and subscribing and sharing share share .

[@UfoAlien8]

because the OWNERS of KZbin they decide Who go up Who dont . USUALLY SATANISTS go up quick😢 I HAVE ONE MILLION VIEWS ONE DAY THEY CUT 😢 THEY BLOCK THEY ARE CHEETING AS CASINOS

[@JohnGeisler-ww3wb]

May all person's Gods bless you all, for blessing all persons.

[@MaryMelonBoston]

Gorgeous video & heart warming story! Thank you. Basketmaking is one of my hobbies so I was particularly interested in the weaving process. Can’t wait for your next video!

[@ParlayRevival]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.

[@nffremote]

Humans have amazing capacity for empathy, compassion and kindness, but it takes a leader to realise opportunities for people to shine. Colin is one of those leaders.

[@timtrinkaus7072]

Awesome work Colin and Crew!!! What an amazing way to use your time and skills to give back to the locals you guys are a class act awesome work!!

Such a heartwarming episode. Thank you for sharing! Safe travels ❤

[@ParlayRevival]

Thank you watching ❤️

[@douganderson771]

Once again Parlay brings a smile to my face on an extremely frigid weekend here in NC. Our NO HEAT PUMP quit the other day and the part we need is not readily available . So even while shivering here , watching you folks spring into action and help with the construction of a new yacht club saved the day. Good on ya !!

[@ParlayRevival]

Thanks Doug! Hope you get your heat fixed soon!

[@adamdavies272]

Aghhh I always wish the episodes were abit longer haha what a cliff hanger tho .. looking forward to the next one 🙏 Brilliant stuff as always Colin an crew living life to the full . I salute you parlay 🫡

[@ParlayRevival]

Thanks Adam! Appreciate that :)

[@ceramicnurse]

Another precious episode ❤️ Not a dull moment and Brits drone skills are epic 🤩

[@ParlayRevival]

Thank you! And agreed, her drone skills are epic :)

[@macman6107]

This is why I watch you Colin and crew. I got hooked when you were repairing Parlay , although I haven't watched your earlier videos because it's all about looking forwards, not at the past. Just promise you will all just keep being the best version of you that you could possibly be. Like this.

[@garycody1929]

One of the most enjoyable episodes. Thanks guys.

[@stevett225]

I’ve been watching you from the start, this by far one of the BEST videos. It’s great to see people helping each other. ❤

[@ParlayRevival]

Great to hear, thanks for following along!

[@jorgegorina3039]

So amazing the experiences u guys have. How cool and accomplishing it must feel to help that family and leave your mark. Yolo Parlay!!!❤❤❤🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@ParlayRevival]

Thanks for watching!

[@aarongrap5291]

Another epic episode Crew!!! ❤

[@ParlayRevival]

Thanks man!

[@markdixon6026]

Loved the episode and one that I was looking forward to. I love the island style food especially with a bit of spice and the coconut flavours.

[@ParlayRevival]

Thanks Mark! See you soon :)

[@stephenmacleod8524]

Great episode guys. Don if you were in starboard forward I fought with that toilet all the way across the Pacific! Luckily it never plugged on me but kept losing prime, requiring some disassembly and reassembly. As you know though, the adventure was well worth it!

[@user-xp9tj9ui1s]

I was in starboard rear. That pipe was so clogged it actually took a long time to clean it out. That is why Jamie had to remove it. You are right though, the adventure was more than worth that bump in the road.

[@johnviney7919]

Great video folks!! Very exciting adventures this week! God bless you all for helping with the roofing job - it made a huge difference to the owners and the sign you made really capped off the build! Canadian girls are very wonderful! 😀

[@ParlayRevival]

Thanks!

[@thebrokenbiker869]

Absolutely epic Colin. I Love what you and your crew are doing. One day I hope to meet you and have a beer with you and the crew

[@ParlayRevival]

That would be great 🍻 thanks for watching!

[@JudithVerrips]

Makes me want to build a "tiki hut"! Great lesson Colin - thanks!

[@ParlayRevival]

Thanks!

[@jessiebrader2926]

Colin, a great gift for people on remote islands is playing cards. Theirs are always old and bent and worn out. Give them a couple of new packs and they will love you forever.

[@user-ix4yi7ct9p]

Another fabulous episode. Congrats on the awesome story telling

[@ParlayRevival]

Thanks so much!

[@MegaDeansy]

Helping with the roofing is a fantastic gesture - to all involved, take a bow !

[@williammorton4616]

Love this kind of info building with natural nature techniques..

[@ParlayRevival]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Alltakenbla]

The sentence of old "The world is your coconut crab", They were not lying!

[@minimalistinmotion]

Dear Parlay Crew, everything about this video is beautiful. Thank you for all you do. ♥️

[@wildaltarose]

Parlay once again you have changed someone's life forever. Colin, Jamie and the crew, your generosity to this family will be remembered and talked about for a long time, this is what sailing should be about. You are goodwill ambassadors wherever you go, and I admire you all so much. Keep up the good work, and please stay safe.

[@ensom]

Really enjoying the 4k content, definitely makes a difference and does the beautiful scenery justice!

[@ParlayRevival]

Thanks!

[@AsherandCrew]

Yacht club shirts coming soon?? What an incredible episode.

[@doloresbauman4797]

So beautiful!! And so precious of you all to help out the settlers put up their roof.

[@SVSecondChance]

I pulled my boat of fort Myers Beach after hurricane Irma. It was a true blue water boat and had been around the world 2 times but the hurricane stopped me at low tide you could walk around it with your shoes on and not get them wet and the boat has 6.5 foot draft. It took less than 20 minutes to pull it off I filmed it its on my channel with the dingys its going to be a little bit harder but not impossible.

[@johnmiddleton6252]

Colin absolutely one of your best. I really love your narrations. Thank you

[@kimmykatzenberger8031]

Made me cry.....Love you guys....

[@ParlayRevival]

Thanks for watching ❤

[@derrickboscombe2385]

Kudos to one and all for your unwavering help with the build of the roof and even extending your stay to see it completed. You are all stars 🌟.

[@jacquiebauman4877]

I truly appreciate all that you post. I'm Canadian, living near the Rocky Mountains, no Oceans near us. Thanks for the posts. I'd love to experience that life. 😊

[@Mimms2222]

Can’t wait for next week to find out🥰✌️🇬🇧

[@tarawaukeri8928]

Couldn't agree more with the top comment... Stealing emotions... So good...thanks team!

[@rippakai13]

Their new Yacht Club! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@buckodonnghaile4309]

You've inspired me to sail my daughter's Laser from Canada to Bora Bora. Retirement has left me with plenty of time to come up with new and improved bad ideas. Cheers, great video

[@MrFormeypi]

Colin, been watching your video’s for some time (it all started as a Below Deck fan), I have seen everyone of your episodes, they are all great. You are truly one of the best vloggers on the planet, but what I admire most is your humanitarian ways and how by leadership your crew are just as wonderful, doing incredible things across the globe. God bless you all, time to start supporting you through patreon, which I do wholeheartedly because you and the crew are great people. Fair winds to the Parlay Revival crew.

[@scottsmit1115]

World leaders should take notes, What you can accomplished if everyone works together.

[@meatavoreNana]

No profit for world leaders if that happened..A lot of money to be made with dissent

[@maryj3056]

What a fantastic episode ! Really inspiring and heartwarming . So great to see that family filled with joy when you gave them the sign . One day ...one day ...I will be sailing with you !

[@Ian-gf8id]

Colin and the Parlay crew, your generosity and desire to help others is what set's you apart. Brilliant episode.

[@waynedahl6904]

Staying an extra day, following your own advice. 👍 Regret what you didn’t do. You’ll never regret staying.

[@Psalm1101]

That's the engineer in you Colin efficiency saving time and doing it easier great show

[@yamahagriz8820]

You guys are so kind and such great humans.
