This is what makes a good sailing video......new sailing channels take note....lot's of notes....Way to go, David and family, keep up the great work......best to you. 🥰
Still the best thing about the David Shih TH-cam channel... Mary Shih! Wow! She just seems to steal the show, and that resignation... video taping it... priceless!!!
The best part of your videos is your positive attitude and determination in the face of adversity. Most people would have thrown in the towel by now, but you prove that with a dream, a great attitude, a little determination you can accomplish most anything, if you simply do not quit.
Man you have won me over. No one is this honest about failures yet you put it all out there. I don’t know what it is about sailing but it almost like hone ownership - the first time tests you to your limits. But its all downhill from there. Much love from a fellow Texan
Can't stop laughing. You are so brave filming the Victron plunge. Most people would have left that out. But you are not afraid and it's so good for people to know that there is definitively a LOT of boat work for every hour of sunshine. Not sure about you young guys but me I see it as a perfect retirement lifestyle because it keeps you a) active b) mind focused on problem solving c) Keeps you looking towards the next destination the next challenge d) keeps you living slim and not in the couch watching TV. Best of luck keep it up !
I have watched a freaking ton of sailing videos….this has got to be my favorite! I can’t image how many hours it took to create this outstanding video. Thank you David and family!!!
@@david_shihIt's exactly what we want and it's even better if it's not the norm. New exciting innovated editing and filming will just make you stand out and blow up. I know why you don't get the content out like we want you too! It's because you like to save money and have pride in your own work. I agree and think your the goat at editing a video. But I also think you have that it factor on your channel that it can grow fast with consistent content releases. It would help you grow so fast and help pay for your family to live the dream in style.
Always too long between posts, but when you do...100% Quality. Seeing the Chosen One put a smile on my face. You and the family are in good company my man. Cheering you on as always, David. All the best.
*Kudos Mary! Way to quit and being able to rock it in a bikini after four kids shows what a bad-ass you are!* David I forgive you for posting irregularly. Your videos prove that you’re truly passionate about creative fun videos for us to enjoy. You’re a hard working and busy papa taking the time to film life going through the journey of creating a wonderful alternative family sailing lifestyle for you and your beautiful family. That’s a process that takes a long time with limited funds, time, and while learning new skills for filming, editing, boat work, sailing, etc…plus on top of prepping a home to sell and while raising a family. For now just keep working on keeping the dream alive.
The chosen one is back. I also think that mini me has a great future. However the biggest accolade goes to Mary for Keeping all the kids incl the biggest kid happy is the main job. Well done Mary. I love your videos because they are just so different. Keep being yourselves.
sometimes you just have to take the leap of faith just react as things come up, no panic just getting it done is some times the best teacher . Your adventures are so enjoyable to see/hear . Good to see your family is going for the ride. Keep posting , If you can number them so I can keep track if I miss any.
Great video ! You wife rage quitting was sooo satisfying and I wasn’t even the one quitting ! Chosen One joining and bringing bolts was too good. Steve seems to bring good luck and definitely a good attitude. I hope you are sailing the world sooner rather than later.
You say months….. We all know it’s been years!😂 Cheers to the chosen one. For Mary. That quitting was Epic! Now, stay on David’s @$$ so he will keep making these amazing videos, so y’all can keep Epic Sailing going. Love you guys. Keep up the great work. When you decide to work…..
One thing I learned when I was half way from Georgia to Colorado was that big hose clamps from a truck stop are far superior to zip ties. I had to bond two pieces of exhaust back together. Grab yourself a bunch of hose clamps and you will be surprised how often you use them. Helps that they are almost all stainless too....
David & Mary…it’s so great to see you guys back and David, your creative filming and editing skills are amazing brother! Mary’s EPIC quit was so funny…love how you incorporated the kids! Can’t wait to see the next one! Fair Winds from Austin!
Great! I love your ability to tell a story and make it interesting and humorus. Your video skills are the best as well. Keep it up and I'll keep watching. I'd love to see an episode every week but I'll settle for the quality you make. It"s worth the wait.
Wow smh, David…. Your ability to tell a story and make amazing videos is absolutely mind blowing!!! In could watch your content alllllll day! I just wish they were more frequent. Weekly at least. 😊
Very cool video David. Nice to see Tom and the chosen one giving you a hand on your boat. It's true owning a boat and sailing isn't all fun and games it's actually more work and sleepless nights than having a job at home where you can sleep every night well most of the time. Loved the way Mary quit her job WELL done Mary. Looking forward to next video cheers
Love the ratchet strap engine lift. You can lower them slowly, you just have to use the lock, open the ratchet system and lower the lock down a tooth or 2 at a time. It is slow, but I have used them to install a SBC in my old corvette that way! Love the video!
We are a sailing family of 5 on a 38 ft classic monohull. We spent 3 years preparing our boat that was forgotten about under a tree for 13 Years! We have cruised thousands of miles and visited multiple countries after leaving New York for points south. The cruising life is a constant challenge but very rewarding.
Ahhh, welcome back Mr Shih, nice of you to drop in Great video bud, nice to see Tom aboard, great guy to have a round, as demonstrated in here Props to Mary for binning the job, sounded a far too toxic environment Kids look great too, love their enthusiasm Have fun
I couldn’t stop laughing, sorry 😢 I can understand the pain. If you can dive the best place to be is a marina. You’re not a sailor until you drop something important overboard. My ex husband opened a concertina tool box on the jetty to do a 5minute job and it concertina’d our whole complete tool box into the drink.
Welcome back. Even brand new boats have issues. Many years ago I bought one new. The joys of boating lasted about a month before I was in a situation where everyone else on the boat was having fun while I had my ass in the engine room fixing things. Even worse the manufacturer used cheap electrical terminals and after about six months I started having intermittent electrical issues. That was a fun job redoing all the termination points with the right marine grade terminals. Hopefully all the major stuff will be finished soon and y'all can get to sailing and having some fun. Oh and I loved the way Mary quit. You have no idea how many people out here would love to do it the way she did. I sure hope she gave them a piece of her mind on the way out the door. Hell with giving two weeks notice too. Employers don't give you two weeks to prepare for a layoff or termination.
Great video David, great to see Tom is with you and Magregor from the clan Magregor, AKA The Chosen One, what a team. It's all about boat life on a budget which is so interesting and real. Keep it up.
I loved your video , I owned a Lagoon 42 which I bought in Croatia and sailed to the Canary Islands where we live . We will never forget the experience, but you are so right about the effort it takes . Thanks all the best .
Always prefer the boat work vids over the beach babes! Great editing and storytelling. And we all start somewhere, even those pretentious sailors who can't help but point out everything you're doing wrong! Your willingness to adapt and ability to problem solve will take you far - fair winds, and happy sailing!
David I finally subscribed to your channel. I must admit that your videos are very addicting to watch. I just wish you could push them out every week or 2 weeks.
Please more of this. Watching people do boat work while sailing around the world is what got me into watching sailing channels... shout out to the @TheOKellys..
brother you're on track to be the best boat youtuber the world has ever seen. I knew this the day you set foot parlay !! i hope you guys reunite and buddy sail
I bought some cheap lithium batteries 172 each for 100 amp with Bluetooth, I had two of them installed and they work great. I get 100 amp from one and 108 amp from the second one. Soo happy with them.
DS the intrepid captain of the high seas is back on the youtubes after the long vacation in the big ol hot city of H! Great edit.. 3 months of hard work paying off! Best Rock and Ty!,-
Oh my God… I haven’t watched in a while… That’s some funny shit! Super Dave I stand by my comments from several years back… you have more talent than so many others! I see you stress on Whatapp but you kill it every time! Bravo Brother 😂❤
Great to see you back david and a loony as ever ! lol really enjoy your enthusiasm mate ! and what a great family and friends you have ! rol on the next one your doing great my favorite sailing channel and well done mary :) who want to work when she can share in your life style dude :) fair winds and best wishes as ever ! jollyjimbo from Germany :)

Thoroughly enjoyed this video!! Thank you! It's definitely a hoot watching your videos. You won't remember but we met on a dock at last year's Annapolis Sailboat Show. Your son was on your shoulders. It was fun talking to you.....I love your attitude, especially the way you describe boatlife.

Aww thank you! The resignation was a long time coming. I kept going back and forth for months and never had the balls to do it!!! Best decision ever!
I agree. That's the most memorable part.
Such a treat when David Shih drops a video

Chronicling the boat work is my favorite part of these sailing channels!

There are very few YT channels with irregular timed videos that I absolutely adore! This is by far my favorite!!! Keep it up!!!
aww...my fav comment in this vid. thanks bro!
You have no idea how much you're inspiring me David! I'm a DIY guy. I love your lifestyle. I can't imagine how bored I'd be with a fully new boat.
Such a treat to watch your videos. You and Mary are a perfect team. You have a beautiful family keep crushing it David. 🎉
Thank you! Will do! too kind!

Ah yes, it was quite satisfying! They asked me to leave early and paid me for the full 2 weeks so it was perfect! Stephen is the best!!!!❤
He’s back! Nearly stopped watching Colin to watch, then thought no, he’s kept me waiting so he can wait! 😅

Amazing, keep them coming David, bet your wife giving up work was the best feeling in the world!

I agree. David is the reason I began watching Parlay!

What a great video and man so many great moments like Mary quitting to Tom’s smile when he laid on the bumper.
Glad to see another video 😊
Mary is badass. Living the dream of rage quitting on her birthday. Happy birthday to Mary!
Awesome to see The Chosen One also joining your crew. Hope that you all will have some epic cruzing together. And Mary, what a BOSS move. 💪💪💪
Dang , David seriously took the glamor and romance out of blue water sailing. This episode was very sobering , a serious wake-up call.
Great video Dave..Dad of the year...your enthusiasm is incredible
Great! I love your ability to tell a story and make it interesting and humorus. Your video skills are the best as well. Keep it up and I'll keep watching. I'd love to see an episode every week but I'll settle for the quality you make. It"s worth the wait.
look how far you have come David! I knew with a little help you would have done it. Your a very smart man David. Best of luck I will be watching.
Wow smh, David…. Your ability to tell a story and make amazing videos is absolutely mind blowing!!! In could watch your content alllllll day! I just wish they were more frequent. Weekly at least. 😊
We'll settle for biannual 😢
The house is almost on the market, so we’ll have more time for editing! 🤞🏼
Great video! KUDOS to your wife for shedding those inadequate people she worked for.
I agree you need to put out some videos man. We are all waiting to here from you. Have a good day.
Awesome video. The talented Tom, the special Chosen One, and the entire family.
