  • After a last minute decision to go home to New Zealand after being away for 6 years, I finally get to spend some time with friends and family. This 2 part series gives you a sneak peek into my childhood and upbringing!
    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!!

    In this clip I realized why I continue to tune in and watch Paraly's adventures: Colin never forgets where he comes from and who helped him get there. Case in point: at the 15:00 minute mark, he thanks a staff member of the television crew by name. That is the mark of someone that takes the time to understand how everyone is involved and impacted. Much respect.

      because its one of his oldest friends 12:53 - but you re totally right anyway. he doesent advertise for shitty nuitrition supplements to buy a 2million 60 foot trimaran. 😅- totally amazing he does this all without any affiliate marketing.

    Watching you with your dad got me all emotional. I lost my dad in 2020 and he was a lot like yours, could do anything and loved his kids. He was my hero. On a side note, watching your channel for the last year or so has me changing directions in life and planning to take the family to sea. We are making preparations to transition from land life to sea life. Thank you for documenting all that you do, you are truly an inspiration to so many people.

      Oh you just about made me cry. Losing someone is so hard I husband was killed year and a half ago in a car accident and you miss them so much. Peace and love. 😢

      Totally agree I lost my dad, he was my hero, funny enough he lived in the BVI's where Colin bought Parlay 😢 😀👍

    I lost my fiancé last year in a climbing accident. Grief from a sudden loss like that is so complicated and devastating. Just you coming and honoring her, definitely was special to her mom.

  • @limeygal1

    I think everyone knew that you would have a great family and I just wanted to say thanks to them for letting us into their home.

    Way to go Colin. The way you honored your friend and gave all the donations to her brother brought dust to my eyes. Happy new year bud.

    Was amazing to meet you in person and had such an awesome time on the meet up with the other Patreons…crazy that I ran into someone who grew up at the same yacht club as me back in South Africa many years ago…and even sailed with my father in a Cape to Rio race in the 1970’s….👍😀

    Out of all the TH-cam creators out there, Colin is the one that I would enjoy having a beer with the most. Seems like someone who would be a true lifetime friend that would never let you down, no matter your circumstances. Far a few between will you find that type of soul. Just glad to have found this channel a few years ago. Very inspiring. Hope his 2023 is is at least half as good as his 2022. Couldn’t happen to a nicer person. Cheers to you Colin.

  • @ot0m0t0
    @ot0m0t0 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    As a builder and a roofer I wanted to say, man that house is something amazing. Your Dad is truly a master and it kind of makes sense how you ended up the way you are.

    Been grateful to be a kiwi many many times before, but this Patreon meetup with Colin in NZ was definitely one of the high points for us. ❤️🇳🇿 We really enjoyed meeting his parents who are such lovely folks. It’s easy to see why he turned out so well 😉 Looking forward to Oct 2023 🎉

    This is a wonderful start to 2023, Thank you for honouring Naomi in that way. It was an honour to be introduced to your family and friends. I now can see where your interest in engineering started, what a talented father you have. Enjoy your time at home and once again thank you for sharing so much of your life. Happy New Year! 🎉

    Colin you are a fucking rockstar! Your five minutes of fame back home compares nothing to your fame out on the water the world is your stage my brother! You have a heart of gold! I am 56 and just starting out on my live aboard lifestyle, and maybe our bows will cross paths one day Fairwinds and following seas brother!

    I see where you get your good looks and smarts. Your dad is very handsome and sharp as a whip. News guy needs to know that you love the ladies, not men. Thank you for your kindness to Naomi's family, and for sharing your family and home.

    Happy New Year! "Twenty years from now you will regret the things you didn't do more than the things you did, so what are you waiting for?", he asks. I stopped waiting and bought a $1 boat. It's not hurricane damaged but it's not much more than a hull and a mast. I'm planning on splashing it in the spring of 2025. Thank you for your channel.
    I lost my sister on 2022/12/07 exactly one month after I lost my brother on 2022/11/07. I don't have much more time to waste waiting.

    Lived on Great Barrier at Medlands Beach 52 years ago for five years. Alternate lifestyle. Awesome community of great families. My twin daughters were raised there. Beautiful natural rock pool there, 2m deep, only seen at low tide in the middle of the beach. They learnt to swim in there. Check it out. East coast surf if wind is easterly massive swells come all the way from South America. Medlands and Awana are the best surf beaches Colin! Love NZ, our home too. Regards Murray and Jean
