- This is the final few days of the lightning damage refit in Costa Rica, as we get ready topsail 2500 miles north to the top end of Mexico, before sailing across the pacific ocean to New Zealand.
SV Parlay is a hurricane damaged Lagoon 450 catamaran, which Colin rebuilt with friends and has started sailing around the world. They found bulkhead damage on their catamaran in Panama, so have fixed her up, and are almost ready to cross the Pacific Ocean!!

Jamie still had the sticker on his apple he blended in!!
Extra fiber lol 😆 jk
I saw that too. Lol! It'll Put hair on his chest
7:25 🤣
He did mention that himself.
stickers are actually edible
Glad to see you bought an ozone generator. It can do so much for you onboard, its a no brainer and I don't understand why every yacht doesn't have one onboard. In fact every yacht should be built with one.
Your content is awesome and authentic. You’re better than clickbait titles.
Yes, on the island of Maui Hawaii we get to witness the birth of the humpback whales in February and March. I've been fortunate to get to see them from my kayak, where one actually swam right along us while looking back at us and then swam right underneath the kayak to the other side of us. He knew we were there and thankful he didn't hit the kayak as he continued to swim on. That was certainly an experience of a life time to remember and I'm very glad to have shared this experience with all of you. ALOHA!
I like the videos where it's just the boys hanging out.
same. funny buggers😆
Parley has a great crew, you guys definitely seems to work great together!
The voice over on the whales was classic lol. How hard was that to do with a straight face? How many beer did it take to figure out one of you could do that? Good stuff.
Having been a boats engineer on commercial fishings boats for 27 years in my past one of the cheapest remedies to help keep rust at bay on steel fittings under deck spaces was Denso Tape (Grease coating Fibre Tape). I'm sure you probably know about it but i found it a massive help and just thought it might be good to mention it. We used a Canadian brand as it was better quality and worked well. Keep up the crac boys your keeping us all on the water even if we don't have a boat.
Yup, always wrapped our hydraulic fittings with Denzo tape, even lanolin spray would keep those track rod ends from rusting.
great advice thanks.. never knew about this product, I usually brush on grease but this is way better, cheers!
Love the David AttenBrah snippet, can’t believe you got him on, shows blowing up 😂
An inspection mirror is always a good tool to have in your tool bag when going up the mast.
I'll bet the time where it was just Colin, Jamie and Tom was a "HOOT!" You three guys together make it interesting for sure! CHEERS!
Hey bru. Septuagenarian sailor here who lived and worked in Kiwilandia, as well as Ticolandia and Panama. I don’t always sail (these days). But when I don’t…I watch sailing vids instead. One of the best is your channel. Carry on.
How you keep your positive attitude is beyond me bro. Getting struck for a second time would have done my head in and I might have just thrown the keys to Jamie and walked off. But you guys handle this all in stride. Kudos to all off you. And I hope you get some new crew. Keep what you are doing, because you are an inspiration to not only me, but many others. CHEERSSSSSSS!!!
If your view is restricted for looking into a terminal box etc. try using a mirror. Most hardware stores will carry them on a little telescoping pole. Found them invaluable in tight spaces over the years. A flashlight along with the mirror in dark spaces like the bilge!
Great video as always!
Thank You Lord for your wonderful earth and your Salvation.
Hi Guys, a few tips, that depth sounder is expected to be removed regularly as sea life attaches, there is a flap that reduces the inflow of water so no need to panic, attached the blanking plug close by while you withdraw sensor to clean it. Yeah you guys are in warm water and probably scraping that hull frequently and cleaning the season from out side. Not so here in PNW. Also, install 2 mast steps at about 300mm above your max height with halyard and use a well made loop to hold, ease yourself onto step, so that you can see top of mast components during maintenance. I only use a harness as activities such as halyard rethread at sea are not safe using a bosuns chair.
Come on - you have to give anyone credit as a boat owner and especially Colin as a frickin experienced megayaught engineer to understand that some water is going to come in. 😅 This was for drama and also a little extra stress as the actual boat owner.
How friggen fantastic to witness that muma and her calf, absolutely stunning. ❤❤❤❤
Glad you are getting things repaired and back up and running. Looking forward to the Pacific crossing.
You have a great crew for crossing the Pacific good guys good friends
*Kia ora Colin & crew. Another great vid... glad the parts are arriving in to fix the issues. Awwwww to see & film the Humpback whales, now that was AWESOME.*
I’m from São Paulo - Brazil an love your vídeos. Thanks..😎🐕🇧🇷
Colin, you do a great imitation of Sir David Frederick Attenborough! Who else can you do?😂
Thanks you reminded me of that feeling
Fire up the engine drop the mooring and heading out. Feeling the vibrations though your feet and the surge of progress looking onward to the next navigation point. Your mind reviewing possibility of the destination and opportunity opening ahead. .
Priceless.
At lest two fully independent systems .
For depth sounder, GPS, charting, heading, radios etc. as per NZ cat one.
Some things are nice to have not necessary. wind speed and direction are under that heading
Your senses are more reliable than any machine.
Thank you so much for videoing the humpback and her calf. I’m not any good at technical stuff, but that never stops me from watching you work. I am happy it won’t be long until you start your grand adventure. Please stay safe!
Get yourself an ammo case for the spare electronics, the metal of the case should act as a faraday cage to protect against the EMF you will experience in a future strike, it'll also keep the electronics nice and dry :)
If there was an emp wouldn't that effect the very satellites the electronics rely on ?
@@easternsuneasternsun171 While related the two are not the same thing.
EMP - ElctroMagnetic Pulse - a wave of EMF that causes widespread destruction.
EMF - ElectroMagnetic Field - the field generated by a current flowing through a conductor - used in motors and generators, but is also a result of electricity being carried down the path of a lightning strike.
When you place items inside a steel box, then the field will tend to induce the majority of its current into the box itself rather than the contents.
Ideally you'd want the box made of soft iron, but steel should suffice.
Ahoy boys nice haircuts and great work on the nav systems! Full steam ahead. Tons o love from Auntie and the Ballie!
😍Fantastic footage of the Whales! ✨ Enjoy your time at the Miami Boat Show! ✨
lol 5:56"like a real old broken cow"!!!
Great to see that K1W1 Tom got rid of his pull start 😂
careful with the ozone! If you smell it, the concentration is too high. Do a good treatment on a timer when you are not on board.
Great episode fella. Love watching you rebuild the systems again.
G'day Crew,,
So cool to see the clippers finally come out & shave the dead rat off the back of that rough old coconut ,, ha ha
Respect ...!
Colin- I have seen a ton of creators lately having trouble with the GoPros. They just aren’t innovating anymore and seem to have been unable to keep up to compete - so their products are actually going backward. For your lifestyle I would recommend trying at least one of the dji or insta360 cams. They’re about the same price and the magnet systems are insane. And they work. Haha! Stay safe
The David Attenborough impression was 🤭🤌
Thank you, watch you guy's every Sunday morning with a cup of coffee.
Ya'll just keep plugging away at it and I love watching it!!!!
Wow man! Excellent.
@Sailing.Parlay.Revival. hey man!
Had the pleasure of seeing a humpback whale today of the coast of Costa Rica while on a catamaran. AMAZING!
I am glad you are getting her ship shape again .. Thanks for sharing your lives with us!! An who gives a rats who is upset about some hair.. when ppl comment like that... It says more about them then it does about you!!
✌🏼💗😊⛵
My achy breaky heart has to wait till next weeks episode . . damm.
I have been watching your videos for a while and decided to go back and start watching from the beginning great job guys
hahaha Jamie "not far off" with a quickness. hilarious
Gotta love it
Their isnt anything this crew cant overcome. You all work so hard to get parlay going keep up the great job
True 🏴☠️ love it! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Finally a boat with an ozone generator,if it is powerful enough it is going to fix any mold problem, and bugs and critters and bacteria while you are away (do not breeze).
I am laughing so hard at the laundry lines!!
On the positive side, your bilge alarm works!
Best Hair Cut of the Channel ever 👍
Go Pro is total rubbish ..
Nice hair cut Tom!
Jamie......there is a sticker on the apple u are blending 😂😂😂
great episode as usual Guys. Know the feeling about opening the hole in the hull, Scary stuff. After watching your NZ episodes i hope all the family are ok after the really crap weather Auckland and Northland have had over the last week. I'n UK based but my son and daughter-in-law live in Blenheim and i watch Stuff to see what is happening over there. Auckland is the best city I have been to. Love the whole of NZ.
Auckland isn't THAT good, you should try some other cities in New Zealand, much better than shitty old Auckland.
Whoever did the Sir David Attenborough voice over had me going! Until the Parlay Revival boys came out! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
What a hilarious David Attenborough imitation😂😂
Love it
If you're worried about water ingress and you have SCUBA onboard have a diver with an empty tin can cap the hole from the outside. We even used this trick to install through hulls without hauling. Two people; Pre coat the outside section of the through hull with 5200 before the diver gets in the water; diver positions themselves close to where the through hull is to be installed; inside person drills 3mm hole from the inside pushing the drill past the flutes to the shank; diver covers the drill with an empty can; inside person now drills the full-size hole; diver takes off the can and pushes in the outer section of the through hull into the hole sealing the opening with their palm; inside person secures the fitting and installs the valve. Sounds scary but does work with minimal water ingress.
Just hope the diver doesn't drop anything!!
Omg Jamie! You left the sticker on your Apple in your smoothie! Lmao
Keep going, you guys are the best! Another week before next video…that part sucks ✌️☀️
The narrations is spot on
you should make a power plug on the marine equipt that you can unplug whenever you suspect a lightning storm it be alot less stuff to replace and your not using it at anchor
That's an interesting idea.
The only foolproof solution is to disconnect and remove the expensive stuff and put it all in the oven or any other metal box. Tedious but worth it if you are leaving the boat for a few months.
@@jessiebrader2926 it will travel through power wires untill it ground at the water its not a emp the oven is not needed just disconnect from the system the key is really making sure nothing is grounded after you disconnect it cause very high voltage is always going to come down you wires from the anchor light
Super smooth transition with the depth sounder.
It looks like you guys had fun on this episode. Another fun one to watch! (Ya GoPro, get your shit together, hahaha)
For that blind work above your head, get an adjustable mirror on a long stalk, such as a motorcycle rear view mirror. Bodge up a mount that will grip the mast. Once in place, adjust and voila, you can see what you are doing. The idea also works for blind holes below deck where you cannot get both your head and hands into. A life and frustration saver...
Just add stirrups to the boson's chair.
Bonding does work...naturally your mast and riggin could ground out through the keel and zincs... but bonding to the motor mounts may pass future harmful hits through the shaft / prop...considering a house I grounded out from hits to hydro stacks, etc, by no6/9 cu wire what your mate did by putting the wire in water would work.
Another great video. You guys always know how to have fun and get projects done. We recently purchased a new gopro 11 with the media mod and we have had nothing but problems with this gopro. Pure junk. Locks up and won't shut off. Sometimes records but no audio just like you experienced.
Likely the last gopro product we will buy. We enjoyed the part where you swapped the transducer while the boat is in the water. Great work Colin and crew.
Jamie knows - The secret to a great apple smoothie, is just a dash of sticker.
Do lightning rods on the mast, both bows, and sterns. 2 gage wire and tie railings together. Down to blowout panels just above the waterline. Surge protectors on everything. Then you can take a direct hit with no issues. Right now it's hitting your lighting or systems on the mast and smashing your whole electrical system. Lookup Thompson's Method for details and specifics in building a system. Thompson's Method is the USCG standard for lightning protection. All you need is 5 lightning rods, wire, and connectors.
Especial appearance: Sir Attenborough. 🤣🤣🤣 Great!
Scary shit seeing that water pouring in mate. .😮
David Attenborough is a national treasure in the UK great attempt at his voice 😂
Hi bro. I’m from São Paulo -Brazil and I love your vídeos and all work you deed on Parlay. Fantastic job, congratulations…😎🇧🇷🐕
Use spray bomb clear coat on those tie rod ends, for that matter, clearcoat anything that will corrode. It will help slow the corrosion.
Nice new editing styles and backround music. Great work.
love your attitude , everything is turned into a positive / learning experience, 😁😁👏🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽happy go lucky 😁👏🏽👏🏽 awesome human !! 💟🤙🏽
Hate to say it but it's quite good with just the guys as things get done.
The apple sticker in the smoothie 😂
Great to see you all climbing out of the hole, again!
Always use a loop d loop on any cables in weather, water will pool at bottom of loop, saving all rest of cable from corrosion..👍🏿
Poke bowls are sooo damn good California has the best I've seen so far
Good intro Jamie
Sir Richard Attenborough, very nice! 😎❤️
Hey guys, I found your channel via David Shih and watched the last year of your videos while at home sick. Just thought it a bit funny when I checked on Google Earth where you were in dry dock at Linton Bay, if you have a look, both David's boat and Parlay are still there in the satellite picture. Love your channel. Keep up the great work.
Thx
Small correction. The humpbacks you saw weren't from Antarctica, they were mostly likely from California or Oregon. Antarctic humpbacks would be there in the northern hemisphere summer months.
Loved the voice over about the whales!!! Too funny!!
Avoid lighting strikes drop anchor to direct the voltage to the ground
Google Rosemary water....it acts like Rogaine.....great stuff
Fantastic episode, thanks guys
Great video! Hopefully you come to the end of the lightning strike damage soon. Really feel for you guys
yeah ohms law is pretty easy to master . a very simple formula hope it helps u in ur time of woe.!
Attenborough impersonation, nice touch!
apple still had the sticker bro lol in the smoothy
Glad to see thing coming together. May get a chance to come say hello in Miami. Stay safe guys.😀
Fantastic video as usual
Stainless steel rivnuts work really good for mounting things to the mast and they can also be used in fiberglass for mounting just about anything.
pro tip.... next time you go up the mast, attach another strap to the bottom of the seat/ harness. that way when you need to do work on the top of the mast and you run out of line you can stand on that piece under you to get another few feet of height
If the boat is going to be left unattended for some time, would it do any good to disconnect the more expensive bits from the system? The only things that have to be left on would be bilge pumps and solar/shore power connections and converters.🤔
8:26 Looks amazing
Great intro performance by Jamie - it shows he can doing it in a very professional manner and not need that camera shy.
Great episode Colin. See you in mexico
Autopilot is not a navigation aid. It’s an equipment make it more easy so you can have less attention to navigation. So it’s an easy fix increasing risk of sailing. Anyway there shall always be a lookout. A lookout stearing the boat is a sharper lookout than one using an auto pilot.
