Kris I have had a year similar to yours. The universe is telling you it’s time for you to do the things you’ve always wanted to do. Maybe we will see you as a crew member on a sailing channel one day. Seize this opportunity my friend. I hope your sadness passes, & is replaced with new wonderful adventures. Much love. 💗

I went through the same thing, only it was all in about 4-5 months, not a week.. it's been over 20 yrs now and I still miss my dad, but otherwise the rest is just part of history, I'm happier than before I lost the job and wife... There will be better times ahead even if right now it's hard to imagine, hang in there!!

Everyone fantasizes about champagne sailing in perfect conditions, but in reality those are rare moments. Thanks for showing the real side of dealing with Mother Nature. Its very cool to see your crew work so well together. You really have something special Colin. Cheers mate 🍻

Colin, you would have to be one of the nicest humans I have ever had the pleasure of following on you tube. Love your attitude to life and your encouragement to others. You are a credit to your self and also your parents. They should be proud to have a son that they have raised to be as inspirational as you. Credit to you all. Only just discovered your channel due to Sailing La Vagabond, but have binge watched ever since. Love your channel and all your crew ❤ Jamie is gold ❤

I am always totally entranced watching you each Sunday morning when your new video is listed. You live a wonderful life, and I can’t imagine you, Jamie or Brit ever living on land. Please stay safe, and thank you for giving the land locked person a feeling that I am sailing again.

Great episode guys! I had to smile when early in the episode, Colin is on watch with Mcflys head on his lap and Lindo is all the way on the other side of the giving Mcfly the evil eye. Even though Lindo is much bigger and stronger Mcfly is still the boss as he was full grown when Colin got Lindo and could be carried in Colin’s hand. Another stunt they both do is if it’s raining and I would get up to get a better look at the auto pilot they would immediately try to sit in the spot I had been in. Such characters and I miss them.

Been following you since day one and honestly didn't subscribe because if my "principals" towards data collection.....but you guys changed my mind for I just had to support you in any way shape or form...the least I could do was subscribe and help the yt algorithms show you some favour. The past 4 years has thrown me some pretty hefty challenges, but still standing thanks to my salty legs 😉 so when my economic situation changes a round of beer and a pair of pig ears for the dogs are heading your way. Guys, thanks a million for all the many smiles you put on so many faces and hearts aswell as inspiring people with joy and courage to go taste their own dreams and make them reality ❣ 57 ft Lagoon was my first passage boat with 4 amazing souls....some of the best years of my life....which I can recall instantly when watching your episodes. Keep 'em coming and again, thanks a million 🙏

Ahoy Parley Revival, I have finally caught up to your latest episode, I have been binge-watching your episodes over the last two weeks from your very first to this one. What you are doing is something I have planned and it was in researching for this I discovered you, and having been a Below Deck fan first made it all the better. As someone who drives ships and plans ocean passages first on paper charts and obviously now on electronic ones. It is a fundamental part of planning that you check all along your route in detail for any dangers and ideally, at least 2-5 nautical miles on either side to ensure you don't have a hidden danger that is not shown on a small scaled chart, even more so on electronic ones as details are variable depending on the zoom you are using as you have highlighted. Keep that boat safe and the adventures continuing as you complete your circumnavigation.

A great episode Colin. I really appreciate the way you will have episodes with the great sailing lifestyle, exploring new areas and meeting new friends. Then you add an episode like this to remind people that there are different, more challenging aspects to the cruising life that people need to think about as well. That coupled with great descriptions, tips and tricks makes this the best sailing chanel on the web!

Looked like a wery tasty omelette Cap! Going up when wind strenght is low and down the wind when gusts come is what i do to adjust pressure when i am windsurfing and also what I did when I used to sail my trimaran. All is good :-) I understand that is not the most comfortable sailing, but. You are on a catamaran, life could be soo much more discomfortable sailing on a monohull. Thanks for keeping all of us desktopsailors updated to how life should be lived! :-)

Add a 'wireless' doorbell between the cockpit and a selected berth. That way the single watch doesn't have to leave the helm to summon help in emergency's. They're so cheap (compared to boat parts) you can install more than one, with a push button for each berth...

What’s up, Colin! Since I found your channel, I’ve literally just binged through all of it and I’m genuinely wondering how a 38-year-old whose lease is up in February could get a start just making a little bit of money to get by while learning sailing. I’ve grown up on, boats my whole life, but never a sailboat. I have a little mechanical experience from high school days, construction and building was the family business and trying to stay motivated in sales when there’s not much business my passion and motivation are so low for the income. Your channel is such an inspiration. It’s all I can think about! 😂🙋♂️🤙
