    "The chosen one", is a great human being - he adds depth to this channel, which is already good.

    A big thanks to the legend that gifted you the other saildrive.

    When you see so much support it’s a reflection of your character

    Nice work Colin. Sometimes the simple changes can be the best ones! I recall being stuck in Death Valley in 1952 for over ten hours with a leaking radiator hose on a 1950 Mercury woodie station wagon. The outside temperature was 125 degrees most of the day. We had tried to refill the radiator from the water tanks spaced 1-2 miles apart along the Valley floor, but the boil over was going to burn up the engine. My father, an Aeronautical Engineer and his buddy also an Engineer were stumped. At about 7pm a car stopped to see if we needed help. It was a crusty old man with one arm took a look under the hood and asked my father one question; “Do you really need that hose going to your heating system?” At my young age of 6, I saw the amazed look on my father’s face. The repair took 10 minutes and we were on our way again.
  • One of your best episodes! So great being able to witness Colin's engineering wizardry and the crew's hard-earned successes... not to mention Tori's incredible smile! 😄
  • @james419
    It amazes me how Colin copes with everything that is thrown at him, his memory is fantastic for the engineering bits and pieces - Thanks for another impressive episode
  • @coreyhopkins1831
    Great episode team, awesome to see fellow Kiwis banding together to help each other out in our time of need.
  • @andjuju6476
    What a great Captain, this man can fix anything.
  • @antandshell
    Colin ❤ you must have effected so many lives of people around you. when your time on this earth ends, there going to be thousands of souls welcoming and celebrating your earthly accomplishments ❤️
  • Colin is the best friend I have never met. He's so genuine, an absolute template of what we should all be striving to be.
  • @debbiecollins1154
    GREAT GREAT VIDEO! Thank you for all the shoutout’s to the people who make it possible for PARLAY to continue for giving us awesome adventures. Just have to say WELCOME BACK JAMIE I MISSED YOU AND COLIN DID AS WELL 😂🤪
  • @jasoncox7874
    exactly 25 minutes and 15 seconds of smiling ear to ear. Thanks Colin!
  • @rolandtb3
    Oh yeah baby! Water babies, splash day baby! Succesful sea trials, some upgrades,diesel filled, cleaned. Ready to welcome Jamie and resume the western coast circumnavigation of Western New Zealand. Huge shout out to all who helped with the logistics!
  • Good job, Smokos, and funny joking, Jamie, that your first mate. Welcome back, Jamie. It's good to have the first mate back. Fantastic team effort to get Parlay back in the water in such a short turnaround. Thanks to everyone who contributed. Colin, your quick knowledge impresses me. Brilliant!
  • @caliaccarino4416
    Fantastic to see you getting Parlay back in the water. Great work, Colin and team. Have fun on your lap around NZ
  • @nhreef
    Love that Steve has become a part of the crew. What an amazing addition. Just show how great Colin is having him along.
  • @alexmawdsley
    This was a pretty good example as to the importance of experience. It would be easy to panic about the backwards prop situation and overthink a solution, but experience prevailed with the simple, correct solution to the problem.
  • @yamahagriz8820
    Love that Chosen is back. So cool. Also all the support and gifts during your haul out was phenomenal along with your mechanical skills on the fly. Great episode!
  • @BernieRunns
    I might not have "buy a hurricane damaged Lagoon 450" money but this channel is one of the main reasons I bought a motorcycle for a tour of Mexico and central America. Because I don't want to regret the things I didn't do. Thanks Parlay, you are a huge inspiration.
