What it's REALLY like to sail 1000 miles offshore!! 👀 (Episode 285)

[@krismartin1181]

I've watched almost every episode. The ups and downs got me through some tough times. Just lost my dad, my job and my woman. In a week. None of this was due to any fault of my own. I am so glad to have a new episode to watch today. Wish I was with you guys. Love and hugs

[@ParlayRevival]

Geez sorry to hear that mate.

[@lisamadden9333]

Stay strong x

[@davidknight2197]

Great episode as always, i look forward to starting my week with you guys first thing every Monday morning. Go well Guys . Dave k (Spud)

[@KIRALYW]

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. 💗

[@brucerhodes8197]

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!!

[@mikebatch7602]

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.

[@stephenmacleod8524]

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.

[@ParlayRevival]

haha very true Chose!

[@ellycyr8385]

So cool seeing Jeanne Socrates pop up! She’s a legend in sailing and an inspiration for us women who sail!

[@ParlayRevival]

Yes she is!

[@JeffGlaser]

Non sailor here but this is still so fascinating and look forward to each episode. Thanks for sharing this incredible adventure.

[@ParlayRevival]

Cheers Jeff!

[@wildaltarose]

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.

[@ParlayRevival]

You are so welcome!

[@michaelphilipgrauers8112]

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 🙏

[@2DLAKE2]

Thanks Colin for the more RAW and REAL feel to this video…. Most the popular channels I watch are getting way too “pristine” in video quality/editing in my opinion… I’ve noticed I’ve started looking for more start up sailing influencers lately 🧐 guess that’s why I started watching you and Jamie back in the fiberglass days! 🔥guess you get really good at making videos at sea!!!!

[@ParlayRevival]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@andreww2927]

Did I just witness Colin tearing up a bit, as he missed his watch and felt like he let down his crew? This is what being a man looks like. You’re a good soul, and clearly a man of integrity. Thanks for the apparent insight into what makes you tick, even if I misread it.

[@JasonHaymaker]

I miss Katie 😩, hope you’re doing well! Viva la Parlay! ❤️

[@DYoung-vt8pq]

Love you guys! Thanks 4 sharing your adventures with us. I always enjoy watching you catch your own food. Safe travels. ❤

[@JBAutomotive794]

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 🍻

[@diannecain1]

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 ❤

[@Amisafeyet]

Good episode. Real life. Real people. Love those miles of smiles! Awesome!

[@davidfinley14]

This is the first time I have been in the first 20 to like an episode!!!!

[@bruceday450]

Loved the way you guys threw the Marlin back! Love the channel and vibe

[@mikelaughlin4470]

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!

[@ianh2674]

Another honest view of the realities of sailing.

[@debbiegoodman9429]

I look forward to this KZbin show every Sunday! I only wish it were longer and could watch it daily. Love this channel ❤️ seeing the world through Parlay and the crew!

[@jenni-Poo]

I love seeing how you guys organize watch, cooking and chores on board. Thanks for another great episode.

[@ParlayRevival]

Thank Jenni Poo! haha

[@highvibe4839]

Hey Colin, I’m happy you got to sleep in, perhaps you are exhausted from the last few months, and just winding down from so much living of life. Don’t be hard on yourself, at times we need rest and recovery, being a captain is a huge responsibility you do so well..

[@roberta4989]

Great episode. Love seeing the dogs sailing again. They belong on a boat always!

[@geofferyrobertson6608]

I'm up to the 11th episode of binge watching for the 5th time about the bulkhead rebuild !! and guess what , I was about to go to bed and I see this New episode ... so more watching

[@blake.crosby]

The ECMWF model (in my opinion also) is the most accurate model I've used for flight planning. Whether for surface conditions or winds aloft, I'm sure the case is true for sea state as well. Loved the more "nerdy" 🤓 episode.

[@zlazz7021]

please make longer videoes! Keep up the amazing work

[@GordonHawkes]

Can't wait to see you show off our wonderful country Vanuatu. Hope you have a fantastic time here.

[@mikef5693]

Still loving every single adventure! Such an inspiration Colin, through all the work and now into paradise. Well earned mate, well earned!

[@ceramicnurse]

Fun and interesting to hear the details of navving a longer passage 💨⛵️

[@CimMLT]

Watching you guys every Sunday is a small escape for me to seeing what's out there. Thanks :)

[@rorygielarowski8972]

Keep it coming! Always a pleasure!

[@kennybaumann2117]

How ironic is it that here in the States we switch our clocks back an hour this weekend (fall back) to end daylight savings time. This video reminded me to go around the house and turn all of the clocks back. Thanks Colin

[@Jmax-v3k]

My Sunday mornings w Parley, always an adventure ❤

[@freedomwanderer91]

Lol, if we could predict the winds and sea state we would be really rich.... Great sailing.

[@ParlayRevival]

Yea then everyone would be doing it right!

[@skent]

Love 20:04 in the video where Jamie is right behind Colin, looking like he's taking a leak off the stern 🤣🥷

[@Tadrjbs]

Loved Jamie Marlin catch. I wish you had more of it. Love the training videos, this time on weather, cool. Happy Birthday Colin old man.

[@ParlayRevival]

Cheers mate!

[@lotusdolphin]

I really love this episode the rawness of it. Really really enjoyed it. Thank you Colin. And the whole parlay crew. Cheers from LIZ in California.⛵️🤟🏻🐬😎🇺🇸

[@alaskandawg929]

Absolutely would love to join you guys😎

[@rebeccaswift7588]

Speaking from experience Colin, your dogs should wear life jackets at all times while onboard!..I lost a dog when she fell overboard. The water was rough and choppy. She went under and we never found her!..devasting..after that our dogs wear life jackets while onboard..they will get used to it..❤

[@ParlayRevival]

Oh no! what kind of boat was it?

[@honeheke1128]

Non sailor, no zero about sailing or what happens on a sail boat, but still tune in every week since I found this channel couple months back as it educational and fun, always a highlight for my Monday morning, mean Parley

[@rustysteel8714]

Paperwork?...Ah...The joys of sailing! ⚓️🍻

[@zx1100a1]

Hey Colin, I'm curious how the new rigging sensors are performing?

[@tlowe2502]

Thanks guys, longtime subscribers always enjoy your videos. Give the dogs a big hug from us. Stay safe y'all. 👍🏻💕🐾🍖

[@StevenMaurer]

Don't piss into the wind is really accurate 😁 guys named Pedro always work their ass off !!!

[@brucerhodes8197]

I bet the crew will enjoy those 12 beers more knowing the Captain had to pony up for them... lol I have to say, it's great to see the dogs again, just felt right to see them both with you at the helm...❤

[@Віталій-життєвий]

it's good that nowadays there are such accurate weather forecasts and programs that help plan the course of the boat quite accurately, the video is useful

[@mattsmith9216]

Nice to learn about the challenges of navigation, and the importance of zooming in on the charts. Stay safe!

[@williamoorejr]

Might make a permanently zoomed in screen an option.

[@robertlepre9289]

I enjoy following along your journey. please keep the great content coming. as always, Fair winds and following seas..

[@IslandCruisingNZ]

So awesome having you guys on the Pacific rally!

[@JudyLynch-ef4sd]

Each week, I am impressed with your knowledge and skills about all aspects of sailing. This week, your clear explanation of weather challenges puts you in the league of top meteorologist. I had a 30 yr career in the software industry, and on this episode, I wondered how those before you were able to cross the world on water without the technology now available to assist in safe passage.

[@MichaelBean-h1s]

I also hope you will be doing this for many years to come as this is the only way I will ever be able to sail the world. Thank You. ❤

[@californiakayaker]

Vanuatu is so cool, can't wait to see it from your perspective !

[@rayb3117]

I absolutely love this channel Colin, you and the crew are some of the most humorous people around and very knowledgeable about the boat and its capabilities and the actual weather conditions. It is great to see you guys and the dogs sailing again.

[@kggk6358]

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! :-)

[@marnie9153]

I actually look forward to your videos EVERY WEEK, thank u so much 4 ALL that's involved in yhat you share & do in rearing yhe most magical videos ❤❤❤

[@williamgatewood847]

Appreciate all of the information in this episode! As a young buck wanting to buy a boat down the line these episodes are more than helpful to get me feeling more confident to be able to do something similar later in my life. So thank you Colin & crew, yall are amazing 👌

[@dedwards3296]

I like the offshore episodes. I especially like when catch fish and have a feast of it. I like to see how the boat handles the conditions.

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

@25:02 blue leading red. If you know, you know. 🇺🇸 Thanks for sharing. 💙

[@captainjimolchs]

Who's the communists? Blue or Red?

[@hugheshollandiii5974]

So motivational y’all! Keep on keeping on.

[@eldraino9933]

The last 5 mins of this vid was the best content Col’s ever posted

[@JohnR-NZ]

Another great episode guys and some really good explanations of how the wind patterns can change so quickly, I have never sailed far from NZ coastal waters with any of the friends that I've been with so this was very interesting 👍👍🇳🇿

[@soggybottom3463]

Wonderful stuff Skipper and Crew. ...Oh...and boss, I've LOST COUNT of the some of the bone mistakes I've made on subjects that I'm meant to know....I figure it's just the gods reminding us to remain humble, we are part of something much bigger than ourselves as individuals and a couple of six packs is a cheap lesson...God bless all 🤗🤗🤗

[@purevuwc]

Very happy to see you finally got rid of the old damaged window treatments. The shades look so much better.

[@vernholmes7940]

Excellent episode!

[@robstubbs2772]

You guys Rock 💪

[@michaeldallimore8590]

That was pretty interesting thanks Colin. Been watching for many years but think this might be the first comment. Well done and thanks for the videos.

[@sailorlac]

I love long passages with good crew, and good weather. You do get into a groove, watches, meals, reading etc... Another great well produced video, kudus to all. PS, love your late coming on watch penalty!

[@michaelmcroberts4398]

Thanks Colin and Team Parlay! Another awesome episode as always!!! Hopefully we will get to see you in Australia in the not too distant future. Thanks as always for continuing to create such incredible positive content!!!

[@shaneedmonds84]

Hey Colin, check out Weathermans Guide to the Sun by Ben Davidson. I'm sure the models are wrong due to solar activity, and all those volcanoes are messing with the weather.

[@mgs8747]

Question for the crew if you care to answer. What is the hardest thing about living on a sailboat? Love watching your adventures you’re all very inspiring. Thanks for sharing.

[@svevergreen3370]

I liked how she was cooking with one eye while looking at the waves with the other :). Wave synch cooking haha :)

[@DanielTiffany-o8i]

Jamie, and that sail fish. Holy crap ! That was a big fish ! lol I’ve seen other sailors handle the sail fish the same. But crazy fun ! 👋 🤬 .

[@CircleK057]

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! 😂🙋‍♂️🤙

[@eldraino9933]

Return to greatness for Parlay Revival

[@broncosteve666]

keep up the great videos. we enjoy living through your eyes.

[@KennyP88]

Great episode and a very important offshoring lesson, when the big guy is hungry, feed him.🙂😂

[@alcatrazrider]

a dozen is a dozen mate, cheers to the entire crew. 🤙🤙🤙

[@KiwiCruzin]

Great episode, Im looking forward to Vanuatu as I lived on Espiritu Santo when I was a kid, great memories of Million Dollar Point , champagne beach and climbing Sam blong trees with my NeVan mate George

[@jeffbroome5192]

Excellent video Collin and crew. Thank you!

[@mikeskelly2356]

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...

[@captainjimolchs]

Set autopilot. Lock the wheel. Shout loudly. Install intercom. Push alarm button.

[@jerrycooke6511]

I fixed boats and ships in Santo 7 years ago. Have many friends there if need info or repairs or whatever. Nice nice people.

[@arjunan101]

another amazing episode... wish I was out there with y'all!

[@docdurdin]

We humans have a wonderful gift of forgetfulness. You will eventually only remember how great it was, that's what an adventure is. Colin, you engineered those eggs pretty well.

[@DougVarble]

25:02 WHEN the big man’s hungry you have to feed him🎉

[@jamesmoore7106]

Thanks Colin ❤🤠👍

[@kathleenmead9259]

Thank you!

[@garrystacey7018]

Interesting video thank for sharing 👍

[@MichaelJohnson-jt5cu]

Most of the weather forecasting services never take solar forcing into account. We are still in a solar maximum cycle which can supercharge the atmosphere at any time, cause earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. If you see northern lights while you are sailing, the atmosphere is being energized, which can cause localized storms.

[@55camille]

You won’t be seeing northern, nor southern lights at those latitudes. But you can check solar magnetic storms on line.

[@bruceday450]

Parlay Shepherd !

[@bobfromtexas3819]

God's speed Team Parlay Revival!!

[@chrisockleton5072]

Awesome Colin. Love you guys thanks so much for your videos ❤

[@cle_roknn3742]

Collin, try to use UTC 24H time like aviators. It's foolproof just so long as you can cope with the fact it's not really local time. Your phone can be set to keep track of both. Takes the guess work out of time....

[@Valerie_Dawn]

This one was enjoyable. Still missing Katie.

[@angeliquebelluomini7797]

Those gusts can get ya. Reminded me of the Meltemis in the the Aegean. Can test you for sure.

[@dreustevens947]

Can’t wait to do the things you’re doing guys! It’s my ultimate goal!

[@simontheyers801]

😂😂😂 cuz is on island time😂😂😂❤❤

[@CarrieByTheBeach]

Hi Colin! Big fan here …. Especially all the Below Deck episodes! Question about your two beautiful doggies …. How do they not fall off the boat and why no life jackets on them? Also, where do they go potty? Soooooo glad you’ve got them back aboard, they look so happy 🐶🐶❤️

[@gavinferguson]

so glad your bows got repaired in newzealand

[@sandy-quimsrus]

Don't forget to get some of the " prawns " from Vanawatu. Deep holes, piece of meat on a string lures them out.❤❤❤

[@seanmolony-redstickastro238]

That’s just crazy man! Catching fish would be what I did if I was there. Well I live on the gulf coast in S Louisiana so you get it. I bet all that rolling is like a never ending workout! That was fun thanks!

[@kenwood9401]

be safe guys amazing vedio great fishing too

[@totalidiotsfails]

This episode made me feel excited and want to get out immediately
