- We finally make it to Huatulco, Mexico, and attempt to clear into the country, but are completely oblivious to to the local laws which got us unexpectedly in a spot of bother...
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!!

i am 73 now and love your videos. Your comment about 20 years you will regret not doing things you wanted/thought about is so true. Ahh the things i let pass me by. See you next Sunday-----i hope.
That’s the wisdom of Mark Twain
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do.” It’s a famous quote by Mark Twain and his kindred spirit Colin MacRae… 🤓😂🥳🏌️

Dear Captain Colin!!!
I am writing from Hungary.
I watched your videos from start to finish.
I am very hooked on the series.
Congratulations on your capat. I'll joke and stick with you.
Unfortunately, we don't have a sea, only a big lake, I sailed a little on it.
Sea sailing was on my bucket list, but now it is unlikely that I will be able to do it.
I am 73 years old, so I live through videos.
I follow many yachts, but yours catches my attention the most.
Enjoy life, the water and the many people who surround you and love you.
Stay so human and helpful.
Good wind and few hurricanes!!!

Collin, all you have to do is go to the next page on your Cerbo display and set the AC current limit to 17 amps. Thats around 2000 watts and it wont pull anymore than that from the generator, it manages it all on the fly. If you had a multi control panel you would have a dedicated knob for that setting. Just remember to put it back to 30 or 50 when you have shore power.
Was about to suggest the same. Victron is awesome in this regard. So versatile.
Parents had a boat, and we extended the operational use time of our laptop and tablets by (used both depending on how often we used each) either storing the devices in a Zip lock or vacuum sealed bag. It reduced the exposure too moisture and salt air in the boating environment.
This Crew came through Nicaragua and were next level fun. Hope to see them again, especially the basque girl, such good vibes.
As a 62 yr old permanently disabled person I live vicariously through your videos well as , Rylie and Elena and the boys videos. Thanks
I have a travel channel as well. I’d love to take ya along. 🤙🏻✨
It's pretty easy to set the shore power limit on your Multiplus so that you don't overload your generator. You can configure your Multiplus to let you use your Cerbo GX to adjust your limit depending on if you're plugged into a generator or shore power. Time to read the manual. :)
Jamie cracks me up, always has a whitty remark. Keeps the vibe positive on the boat. Genuine
It is imperative that someone aboard any vessel understands all systems for successful cruising. This cannot be stressed enough. A boat is no place for dreamers alone. Sharing such knowledge on this channel is appreciated.
Man this episode was awesome. The videography and image quality was off the charts. Keep sharing we love our Sunday morning parlay shows.
You need to enable power assist in the multiplus settings. You can also limit how much the multiplus pulls from the generator so the inverter will keep everything within limits and you won't overload the generator or shore power. I have a nearly identical system on my RV that I full time travel in and that is how my setup functions.
ahhh watching first episode today of sailing yacht today!!
I'm so happy Nerea is back on board ❤❤❤❤
Watching the new episode of below deck sailing right now as watching this TH-cam video. 😅
So the Mexican officials just sat and watched you cook up your food, that's crazy. I guess they want you to have to buy local. Can't wait for you to head on across the Pacific. Keep sailing❤
People, the Mexican Customs is operating , just like Customs in the Majority Of Democratic NATION'S to Protect their Nation from imports of Foot and Mouth Disease, And, other Vet Diseases, And, ultimately to Protect Public Health.
Some Commentator's are making comments disparaging the Custom Official's.
At a Time Of Million's Of Human Premature Deaths from the CORONA VIRUSES VARIANTS PANDEMIC, We ALL Should Respect these Official's Braving Meeting And thereby Enabling International Travel.
As an International Lawyer, I Respect ALL PEOPLE, ALL OFFICIAL'S, AND ALL INTERNATIONAL TRAVELLERS WHO ARE HELPING TO STOP THE SPREAD OF THE CORONA VIRUSES VARIANTS PANDEMIC.
Conversely, I would discourage All People who Disrespect These Official's who are so Glib in their throw away comments of Disrespect.
It should be noted, that every Nation which FAILED, REFUSED, OR, NEGLECTED TO IMPLEMENT NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS AGAINST THE CORONA VIRUSES VARIANTS PANDEMIC immediately, actually suffered the Disproportionate High Levels Of Premature Deaths WORLD Wide...
Among those Nation's
1. Brazil
2. Trump's USA
3. United Kingdom
Accordingly, before Glib Commentator's Disrespect Official's doing their Official Job's, THINK...Do you want Good Health Or Premature Death?
Well Done to the Mexican Official's doing their Official Job's, while showing some kindness and permitting the crew cook + eat their food. Incidentally, the Mexican Customs did not have to allow the crew to cook and eat the food. In NATION'S Ports all around the World importation of food is strictly enforced, including in every Nation where the crew originate.
Now, separately, I have one question, what make of Motorized Winch Handle was utilized in this episode?
Another great episode. Really good to see Nerea again. You always seem to get great crew members. Look forward to more adventures.
Crazy process to clear into to Mexico!
Hey Robert! It really is. We went through a crazy process in Cozumel. They said we needed to use an agent, but we didn’t. They said the online payment was not received, so we had to pay twice. We couldn’t use the immigration office at the airport, they made us go to the one in downtown. It took us a few days, but we finally got everything we needed.
Kind of ironic considering how the USA is just letting people flood in from Mexico haha
Isn't it amazing how they let their citizens just run across the border to America but scrutinized the hell out of people trying to get into Mexico???? Lol
We Americans are completely stupid.
@@michaelpowell9164 Americans can go anywhere they want in the world, Latin Americans have to “sneak in”
It was eye opening for me too.
When they were made dump out all their food or eat it, only to eat local food that made everyone sick, I felt really bad for them. 😔
I’m not a sailor (yet!) but after running into you in La Cruz with Alie & Ben, I’ve been binge watching and I’m hooked on your channel! Another great episode!
Loved it again, keep sailing you bunches of sunshine people ✌️😎✌️and Happy Easter !
I enjoy your videos. It makes me wish I had known this life when I was younger. It is definitely the road I would have chosen. Super excited BDSY is back tomorrow.
We built a house last year and moved in in May. We have had Starlink from the first night. It’s amazing. Enjoy.
Colin love the videos keep up the great work and thanks for taking us along.✌
As for laptops, I don't know how you handle them but in any case it is a good idea to store them in a nice casing together with silica-gel to keep them as dry as possible.
Narea! Score! Great crew for your crossing!
Great to see Nerea, but I cant help but wish Jordon was there too. They are so funny together, and would be an awesome addition. I didn’t realize getting into Mexico would be so difficult.
I'm feelin for ya Parlay crew. I also had the best but most salmonella ridden shrimp taco in Mexico. Aye I was sick for an entire week and almost blew a gasket. The Parlay adventure keeps rolling.
Fascinating that the new crew young lady is originally from Basque Country in Spain! The dude that just won the Masters Golf tournament today, Jon Rahm, is from Basque Country of 1500 peeps! They may know each other! Small world!
Yay, thanks for another great episode Colin.
Glad you enjoyed it!
its about time i been telling everyone for the passed 2 years that you all need starlink the best for you sailors ..
Great episode Colin getting closer to where we are now!
Nerea is on board!! Fun watching your adventures since I ran into a few of you off the coast of Nicaragua 🇳🇮 🤙🏼
Love the hat, you look like a local🤗 Gotta say I audibly laughed several times and can’t wait for next video🤣
Thanks Kiki! We miss you!
@@ParlayRevival 🫶🤞I’ll see y’all soon ❤
Nerea and Colin are so cute together! ⛵
Another great video Colin.. As for the laptop issue. Apple is one of the worst to have around saltwater. What I have always used on the fishing boats in Alaska for nav, temp readout, and the other important boat stuff along as personal use is just Dell desktop/laptops. We usually have 3-4 at one given time on the boat. They last 3-4 years with no issue. We tried Apple 2-3 years ago and 3 of the 4 laptops died in 6 months. The 4th died a month later.
Agree completely. You can get factory certified refurbished Acer Nitro 5 laptops for about $700 direct from Acer. You can get 3 laptops for the price Colin is paying for one used Mac. The Acer Nitro 5 i5 laptops absolutely scream. Best bang for you buck.

another day in Paradise @Sailing Parlay Revival.... keep safe
Hilarious mate, been using a silly WiFi extender for over a year. Darn sure beats the cost of a sat phone subscription. Here's the funny part, I am at the point of no return heading to Hawaii from LA and I've got 4 bars on my phone! As it turned out my radar could only see 25 miles but a few hours later I discovered we were piggybacking off a cruise ship, then a cargo ship, then....my phone rang. It connected to a NAVY ship and they were rather unhappy with me and told me to disconnect immediately. I told them to add a password but once I told HOW I was connected he laughed and said nevermind. I took a photo of them passing us 1/4 off and laid on the horn as they did. It was more like "hey little sailboat look how fast can go. Nanner nanner!"
Dielectric grease is not meant to be used on electrical contacts since it is a insulator. It will actually increase the resistance of a electrical connection.
You couldn't pay me to go to Mexico. Good luck to you guys there
Love Mexico. Lived there for five years.
The Scottish man is a hell of a character! Lol
Mexico sounds like a hassle! Good vid.
Lovely to see you again Neera, you been away for too long !
Hi Colin, when you get a corroded connection, the resistance goes up. When the resistance goes up the current goes down, not up. The reason the connection heats up is that the resistance dissipates the current, becoming a heater, so not passing the current to the load. It's a common misconception, so just clearing this up. Cheers, love the channel!
Technically you're right, the resistance goes up, but what causes the heating is the voltage drop across that resistance. P=VI, hence the heat.
@@chrisviviers5649 Right, I was trying to keep it simple for most people. The volt drop being the dissipation heating effect
@@hallga007 Also, if you have the access to get a voltmeter across the connection you can search for high resistance if you see any appreciable voltage (more an a few millivolts).
@@hallga007 Sorry dude, just thought it may help someone to understand the physics.
No sorry needed, I think our discussion could help a lot of people further understand what actually happens in a high resistance circuit. The word SHORT is thrown around a lot when an open circuit is actually the case. Cheers
The fun on Parlay never ends✌️💜
Those Honda gensets are fantastic! I have one and have used it well for the last 15yrs. Very well made unit, low emissions and so, so quiet. Mine is a EU2000, 1st generation and still going strong. Only use it when I really need it.
You should get daisy to come join you on the boat for awhile
Hey Colin! Next time you run the Honda generator just change the Input Current Limit on your Victron System to whatever the shore power can supply, typically down to 15 amps AC from those small generators. Then you can run whatever you want on your AC system like your watermaker, and whatever AC power isnt being used will then in turn be used in the Charger to charge the batteries. As soon as your turn off your watermaker or other AC loads it will all go in to the batteries through the charger. Basically by setting the Input Current Limit you will never Over load the shore power, whether it is coming from a Generator or shore power pedestal. Love your videos and can't wait to see your trip across the ocean! - Hunter
Your wire diagram looks familiar. Try turning down the incoming current limiter on the inverter. It will prioritize power to the loads from the generator and automatically reduce battery charging capability. Once the loads are gone it will automatically go back to charging the battery.
Huatulco is my favorite spot in Mexico. Please make multiple crossings videos to Tahiti. When sailing doodle did their crossing those were some of his best content.
Nera is here? Yay!
In 1980 we took a 35 ft ketch from Marina del Rey to Cabo and then up into the sea of Cortez. To guaymas and back to Seattle . We spent six months in Mexico. We had our scuba tanks and compressor. Met lots of people cruising north and south . We buddy boated with a boat called the terrapin. 37 ft cat . I was seventeen . My father was the captain . We had never sailed . The boat was new . So we had minor breakdowns.
We made about fifty miles a day . At seven knots . Only time we went ashore was for fuel and water . Caught lots fish and mom was an excellent cook . We met lots of wonderful people . Sailors are a special breed of cat . The terrapin went on south at the sea of Cortez .onward to south American to the catamaran river .up to a motel called the the catamaran. We had traveled with for a couple weeks . Together Dale and Gloria if your out their a big hello . It was a trip I'll not ever forget . Thanks for bringing back memories.
That was great. Thanks for sharing the adventure.
Im all caught up now. So glad you got Starlink, now you can post on the longer passages. Epic.
Great to see you in Mexico, my wife will kill me if she finds out you were in Huatulco in early December when we were there, hopefully we legitimately missed you i’m sure you will atop in Puerto Escondido for the surf, looking forward to seeing that!
Amazing videos, as a (currently) armchair sailor, I really appreciate your content and learn a lot from your detailed instructions. Regarding the number of laptops and electronic equipment you go through, it’s almost definitely due to the humidity. If you have the room you would benefit from a dehumidifying cabinet for your electronics. Something like a Sirui HC70 should fit a decent sized laptop and your camera equipment. Running at 110-240v AC it should run at just over 11 amp hours per day if running 24/7. Once again, GREAT content and Happy sailing!
omg colin the cats out the bag all over youtube about you and daisy hooking up
Keep it going parlay. Epic just epic.
Love your adventures…keep the dream alive…
Happy Easter
I live in Ft. Myers and got my Starlink like 3 months before Ian came through. It was extremely difficult to send messages and make phone calls after the storm without it. That thing came in just in time! I ordered a Starlink as soon as I heard about it, because we ALSO got hit by Irma in 2017 and had the same thing happen then!
I imported a catamaran from Miami last year. We had a local that knew the capitanía de puerto, and most of the paperwork had been done before we arrived. It took 3 hours to clear up all the details so we could leave the boat.
So great to have nerea back, she is the best :P
DUDE....Mexican Custs did that same food trick on us too at each port. We had frozen meat.
All we had to do was pay them money. They wanted $125 US....we said how about $40bucks!!
We were good to go!!
Samething with a refrigeration compressor we had to ship in from the States. Custom says....they can't let us have it...
They said give them $30 bucks...and meet them outside. And they handed us the new compressor.
Jeffery....⚘
Happy Easter Folks!! Have a blessed day!!!🐇🐰🐇🐰
Had macbookair and iPad since 2012 only cases I’ve ever used were from chrome bags both still going strong as live aboard electronics…and I really think it’s the case because my phone doesn’t have the same resilience
Hello, fellow youtuber!
I happened to be in a Yacht passing by you and saw your TH-cam channel advertisement, so I’m here. 😊
You're good with the editing. The flow of the video is great. Lots of smiles (except for the tacos)😊
Hey Colin, in the generator input options on the Victron inverter you can current limit the input so that you don't run your little 2I at full noise.
You can control the maximum amp draw for the generator through the DMC or the interface so it doesn't over draw the generator. I have a custom generator.
oh my god.. the Australian Sloth... that had me cracking up. I wish I could run away and join you guys.... Any need for a Scuba Diving PSW? (Personal Support Worker)
Really good to see every thing going so smoothly and the new crew members should help with the minor problems. Mexico is very complicated!
UUUUUUU, the famous and beautiful Nerea on board. Dream of a mamasita, good to see you once more. Love from Antigua Guatemala, OsoYolo.
obviously a small issue since you rarely run your genny (and you probably know this) - but you could set the max input on your inverter/charger to a smaller value when you are in that scenario again - so that it knows not to pull so much from your genny.
Yea not a bad idea. Think the solution is to charge the batts, then run water maker later. Same overall power use but not overloading the gen.
Haha. Starlink. I'm watching Parlay in the South China Sea on a Seawind Cat heading to the Philippines. It's great! When we were meeting on Zoom to plan this trip in January I said I wanted to bring my Starlink 'to see if it would work.' The general consensus was, ya no, maybe someday but not this trip. Later it was, 'Well, if you really want to...." Soon as I plugged it in just as we left Vietnam, everyone loves it. I think just about every cruising sailboat in the world plugged in Starlink in the past month.
Nice crew you got and you will have fun in Mexico, hopefully you get the chance to hook up with Delos before they leave.
Thank You for the tip re dielectric. Wonder how many cruisers aren't aware of that.
Fabulous content once again!
You guys are amazing. Your video production is on another level. 🙌🏼🔥
Be careful with those Mexico tacos lol! Hey if you make it up to the California Central Coast. I will drop off primo wines and local beer. We have the best!
I live on the beach in Mexico; four laptops, now a Mini with caracol all around and humidity absorbent pellets (Amazon). So far three years and its the same speed and all.
Love it!
now with starlink a live broad cast of the pacific crossing may be in order, that crossing been along time coming,,
watch this space!
THX ⚓⛵
I also like quick translate. It brings up the language once you have put your detail's in your computer, you have it all on one page.
Hey Colin concerning your laptop dilemma. Don't know if this would work for you but maybe when not in use throw it in a sealed bag with some of those silica moisture extractor thingy's. That may be more hassle than you want to go through but just a thought. Love the content keep it up!
I think their problems are probably electric power issues and lightning strikes probably didn't help.
Also Apple laptops seem to just be problematic.
I love Expedition Drenched and everyone on her, especially THIS lady! As for power, you need double the solar and the new wind generator Rick Moore and Sophisticated Lady added recently. Those black spots on the white pad next to you for much of the time (16:38 for instance) is black mold, poisonous
.
4:18 this could have ended badly! I just recently broke my foot! 😵😎
just a hint, you can cover the PCB in the laptop with a conformal coating to make it waterproof and saltproof its not perfect but drone PCB covered in is last fine in the rain
Just a thought use Silica gel packs inside the hard drive compartment to help prevent moisture change the every 30 days also use die electric grease on the connection points to help reduce corrosion I have done this to reduce salt air from my computer control devices close to the shore helps just a thought good luck
Saw it coming y'all...plop, plop, fizz fizz..lol
Hope you all are having lots of fun Always! Just a comment, sorta ridiculous, Then as I laughed about it! Why Not A RICE BOX! for the electronics while not in use! Yep, it sounds good to me. And No Fatties burned either! Smiles
I love you Pitty!! Also what a complicated mess trying to get into Mexico. I suppose it's for the best.....? I love I found your channel!!
It’s so ironic that Mexico is so tight on clearing for meat and dog health etc…. Wyld!
Great show again
More please
I have a challenge for the guys on Parley. You consider yourselves singers/sailors so I'd love it if in one of you videos you sang the Niel Young song Old Man. I have always loved it and apart from the meaning behind it you guy have the range to sing it was. How about it?
3:00 Have you looked into Thinkpad? Great alternative to Mac, very durable. "Mil-spec" (Mil-SPEC 810H) . Also cheaper with more performance. Their P Series are Mobile Workstations. The Z series is the video editing option. 3 year international transferable warrenty from new. Another option you can take out the Mothereboard of whatever you currenty have and conformal coat it.
Hello Elle, from fellow West Coaster… Surrey, BC.
Starlink RV service is going to be geo fenced and Starlink Marine is going to be really expensive, starting at 1,000/mo USD.
Love this stuff!!
Welcome back narea missing your voice and the slang ….
Ever thought of buying a solid state desktop with water cooling? The desktop box needs to be fully sealed that no tropical seawater air can get near any pc component. For the attached cable one would need to build an outside extra enclosure, or maybe such sealed desktop cases can be bought. They would be needed in certain work environment for safety reasons, like production of inflammables. Such a desktop pc would be more powerful than a laptop and should last at sea as long as on land. The point is that no air is needed inside the case for cooling. All cooling like for the cpu, power graphics card, power supply, etc, would have to be done outside the desktop pc. Or look for fanless power desktops designs, it doesn't have to be water cooling, it just came to mind.
You could set up a server system that works with something like a Zero Client. Many Zero Monitor Clients with keyboard could boot onto the server and work at the same time. Zero Clients are very cheap, especially second hand. But maybe there are newer systems. You would need to run cables to the places where people work and can plug the Zero Clients into the network, cable is better than wireless. Good Luck!
Nothing wrong with your schematic - Victron inverters can limit the power the take from mains (generator) so you can lower the amps allowed to draw from the generator to avoid overlaoding it - i use this all the time for different mains sources. Enjoy
