The quality on these videos is top-notch. I think you do a great job of making sailing very approachable in your storytelling. I love this video. I don't know how you don't have half a million subs yet.
Not Wannabee Influencer! Your videos rock David!! Found you from Parlay but you and your family are first click watching for me. Keep up the great work David and family!! Send much love for your voyage ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Had me rolling with the foul weather gear/ Rain jacket joke 😂. Looking forward watching this passage - A sailor is an artist whose medium is the wind. Stay Safe ✌

i definitely tried, but i can tell you right now it didn't make it... the 1st few days were plagued with seasickness, but I did manage to knock out 12-15 episodes tho!
@@david_shih It's all good David, we love your videos! Seriously, you are the best young sailing channel on YT, we just love grinding you because you take it so well.
man i loved that intro toooo! it was so fun to shoot. i was on a stage in front of all of the rooms and balcony and people were watching and laughing the whole time.... but i couldn;t stop!
Good thing this posted after everyone set sail. Not sure Colin would have allowed so many items on board if he saw that single photo clip to begin with:-) Just teasing, this was very helpful actually. I'm thinking forward to when I can set sail, and continue to try and learn from these videos! Thank you as always for the content!
David Shih, that guy could talk the leg off a chair”😂😂 absolutely love that line and hearing it a second time on your video was even better! Know you are all having a blast out there. Smooth sailing David
Life on board the Parlay without Shihlatte! Can’t imagine that !! Welcome aboard “Below Deck - Jamie 465” Keep those wonderful uploads happening and the crew sane, but not annoy Jamie and don’t be a pain- Looking forward to what’s a coming Shihlatte 😊😊
@@david_shih Idk why the yt decided to change my name from the name you know - packrat garage - and have clue none how to change it back. The absurdity of life strikes again.
If I were to draw a Venn diagram that represents the stuff David Shih packed and the stuff my wife thinks she would need for a Pacific crossing, it would be two non-overlapping circles.
David you crack me up, my man! Love your sense of humor and video style - the opening drone shot was great! Also love that you are a family guy. Will be following you here and on Parlay. Fair winds!
Bro I am not even two thirds of the way through this video and watching you talk about flashlights has me so stoked for the upcoming videos. Great intro shot by the way. Love that idea. Cant wait for the rest, cheers!
Hey Hey David Shih and Mary Shih and family!! Good to see you back!! I'm still boat searching but making very hard with the intrest rates so sky high. Hopefully to find me a Hurricane damaged catamaran since Florida likes Hurricanes 🌀!! But cant seem to find the actual Auctions companies that do them Insurance autions! Either I'm internet dumb or them companies dont want to be found! Or just both! 🤪. You all probably back in Texas by now!
@@david_shih Well I think it’s going to be worth all the effort because that was an excellent video!! 👍 And I’m super stoked to see what all you put together for the crossing. 🤙 You da man!!!
Wow David you're ready to cross the ocean three or four times lol like Colin says you can talk a leg off a chair lol have a safe trip guys be waiting for your next videos and they would what happened to your boat where is it at I thought you would be sailing it.
Cool video dude and those are cool flashlights. Good to see the sextant amongst all that tech gear. Looking forward to see the film projector too. Hope it all went well.
Just love your creativity. Plus this was super interesting to see....what an incredible redundancy in each category. Now the Fat shmat part. I don't recall that being part of the marriage vows! Miss Mary will still love you. Lol.
With that wardrobe I'm sneaking out of the marina under cover of darkness while you're snoozing on land. On board climate catastrophe. "Where's Shih?" "Downwind, I hope"
What the $hit. A video everyday!! Come on… I need a So epic flower lid. Time to text Mary. Haha. Y’all rock, can’t wait till your own your own brotha. Cheers love ya. Key west out
The basics of sailing can be taught in one afternoon. Sailing across an ocean is allot more complicated. All of us learn through direct experience. You can learn and be taught how to sail in high winds and large waves. Until you actually do it, you won’t really have the skills to handle the boat under that kind of pressure. No matter how much you prepare for an ocean crossing shit will start to go wrong the very first day you set sail. You will learn fast a crew of 8 and 2 dogs is not ideal. Looking forward to seeing how Jamie and you did the Panama to Texas voyage. I have only done it once. We initially pointed toward Jamaica. Once clear of Baja Nuevo, turned Northwest to the Caymans. We then shot the Yucatan Channel, taking left fork of the current into the gulf. Tequila is nice, but rum is better. If you pounded your way past Nicaragua and Honduras, I look forward to seeing that.
cuba, can't agree more. i tell everyone i've learned more in a day of sailing with Parlay than in weeks of sailing classes. And yes, we did sail right past nicaragua and honduras...very far off short tho as we were scare of pirates.
OK, Mr. Shih. Yeah, yeah. Safety first. But hey if I'm gonna go, I soo zeroed in on that Miyoo Mini Plus and immediately looked up on amazon. Being a professional survivalist, do you recommend the 64 or 128GB version??? Does it require a subscription or internet or ahead of a work day (I mean sailing passage), can one download the games ahead of time and go from there?
hey check the description for the correct link, becuase its actually another model i got...that has a larger screen. does not requrie subscription.... i think i have the 64gb version...games are very small. download all the games for all the different consoles and you're good to go. its basically an emulator just like you can run on a computer--but its game boy sized which makes it so nostolgic..

thx singledad! if only i could do this everytime i pack...

David Shih is hilarious on the Parlay Vids, I'm finally caught up on them and stoked you have your own channel!
If I were to draw a Venn diagram that represents the stuff David Shih packed and the stuff my wife thinks she would need for a Pacific crossing, it would be two non-overlapping circles.
hahahah!!! hilarious.
Learning from comments too!
so glad you're going on this crossing the boat needs some energy Colin can be so mellow
haha thanks bro! tell colin that!
Real glad to see you part of the crew on Parley. You add wonderful seasoning to Colin/Jamie mix. ❤
I'm a simple man. I see David Shih post, I click. CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS SERIES! Now I wanna do a crossing!
awesome! glad you'll be following the journey!!!
Great job David. Excellent production.
David you crack me up, my man! Love your sense of humor and video style - the opening drone shot was great! Also love that you are a family guy. Will be following you here and on Parlay. Fair winds!

Parlays last video had me thinking you where doing the editing. Can't wait to see the rest of the crossing. Thanks for the insight on what ya brought.
Dude! that overhead shot is perfect. Loved seeing everything you brought for that crossing.
glad you liked it John! and thanks for all the support on patreon brother!
Damn David, you gonna let parlay leave your boat behind like that...figured we would see some good "Buddy Boating"
would love to, but my boat is back in texas... yes we got it there! and it would take 6 wks to catch up to him on the other coast!
So glad i got to meet you and the bride at the newport boat show - and especial thanks for the video shout out to my brother!
you too rich!!!! come hang in annapolis!
Bro I am not even two thirds of the way through this video and watching you talk about flashlights has me so stoked for the upcoming videos. Great intro shot by the way. Love that idea. Cant wait for the rest, cheers!
sweeeeet!!! those flashlights were a bit much, but i love'em
Informative & imaginative. Thanks.
Love it! I posted on Parlay's last video with a shout out to you! Looking forward to all Parlay posts and YOU, David Shih!
aw thanks scott! love it!!!!
That bulk heads shirt. That’s some funny stuff right there. Lol
hahahah making the best of it!
Great video David looking forward to the rest of the series.
thx jason!!!!!!!!!!
That was so funny. Now tell the truth - Mary organized everything and you did the narration. Nice equipment.
sadly mary already left before i did this one...thats why it took me 3 hrs to lay it all out!
Shazam! I used to cross the ocean in two days! One flight to Hickman AFB, then the next day to Australia. Easy…… LOL
A video on how you actually pack all that stuff into those 3 bags would be brilliant.
oooooh that's not a bad idea....
I really enjoy your videos because you tell the story in your style. Love you and Mary together vids as you feed off each other. Come visit Australia
thanks my friend, and cant wait to get out to australia!
You a a little “crazy” (not offensive meaning) guy and you make us laughing!!! Have a great time!!

My list is about 30 items. You did well!
And this is why catamarans are great places for all your stuff (queue the George Carlin video) 😉👍
