  • Unfortunately my relationship with Martina came to an end a couple of months ago, and I explain what happened in this episode. I then finally make it back to Parlay in Panama, and we start to get serious about repairing her cracked bulkheads...

    Colin, you are the old school young man, the barter system, the community system, the worker, you may not have the subs of others right now, who cares, you never sold yourself out, you stayed true to you, and true to us viewers, fame like this will be rewarded and remembered always, you will always attract what you give, especially in our current circumstances globally, What a standout! Cheers Australia 🇦🇺

      Hey mate. Greetings from Down Under. You do realise that Colin is a Kiwi dont you? We wil claim him though as he personifies what being an Aussie is all about. Have yourself a nice day and stay safe.

    Mad respect. If I am not mistaken you went on Below Deck to get money to repair Parlay. No idea how you tolerated those clowns. You could have been like others on CZcams who hit their fans up when they need money or a new boat. You are the man.

      @@willsmith2041 Despite the 'WE BROKE UP' title, it's not until half way through that the 'boat story' switches to the 'living the dream story' with which the beautiful Martina was an inextricable part. The boat story attracts the would be sailors on a DIY budget ( My personal interest). For those dreamers out there, I myself have been in a 7 year ' living the dream ' story with a beautiful Filipina many decades younger than myself. Relationships in reality are written in blood ties, you have a relationship with your offspring and parents, what you may experience with others are quid pro quo 'companionships' and these are at the mercy of fickle nature - fair winds and foul. In time, mother nature changes our 'quid pro quo' perceptions and companions go their own way. Had the boat story not been punctuated with major holdups that necessitated working for a living to finance repairs, thus pushing the ' living the dream story ' into the doldrums, the companionship might have survived. The lesson for would be sailors, is BUYER BEWARE - get a survey done before you put an albatross around your neck.

    Hi Col, you’re ability to keep pushing ahead in very very difficult times is truly a huge inspiration to me, I’ve watched every single episode, I wait with baited breath for every Sunday, my wife says I’ve got a massive man crush on you and I probably do. You’ve had such a hard run of things lately and you just keep smiling, your a legend, even though the All Blacks keeps smashing the Wallabies. To you and all the crew sail well and keep safe. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇳🇿🇳🇿

    Sad to hear about the breakup. I thought you two were a good couple from the start. It is good seeing you back in Panama and looking forward to seeing the work go forward on Parlay. McFly's reaction to your homecoming was everything I expected. Dogs don't forget family and they cannot hide their emotions.

      I think his philosophy on living in the present may be a detriment to any future relationships because women are always planning and looking for the security of a relationship to fall back on when plans don't turn out. Living in the moment isn't very conducive to future security. But, wth do I know? It is more fun to live in the present for sure.
