aw thanks eric! and yes, can't ask for more than a Jamie!

Am sorry, this may be fun to quite a few people, perhaps also to yourself, but this was a great video of HOW NOT TO SAIL. A boat that is basically not seaworthy, a crew that knows absolutely nothing, equipment that is failing, this is a disgrace. I worked as a pilot for the coast guard in the Caribbean for many years and flew countless SAR missions. Accidents can happen at any time and you (plus your boat) need to be prepared for that. You were obviously not prepared. Do yourself and all others on the water a favor: get this boat in seaworthy condition, repair all the equipment, make sure it functions, get sailing lessons, get lessons in navigation, rules of the sea etc etc. Your life and that of your family depends on it.

I hope this was the low point in your sailing career. You and Mary have a good attitude, but you had your family out there. That boats condition was sketchy when it left the dock.

I've chosen to believe that this video was mostly filled with made-up drama for the camera and wasn't actually documenting all the dangers he put himself, Jamie, the crew of the Parlay, and his family in. I'm better off with 6 AGM batteries I have to constantly move around the cockpit instead of having an AIS! WHY BOTHER TO WRITE DOWN THE CHANNEL FOR THE RADIO OF YOUR ONLY LIFELINE OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN?! I CAN PROBABLY JUST RUN INTO THEM OUT AT SEA!!!! WHY SHOULDN'T YOU WAIT FOR THE ONLY SAILOR WITH ANY EXPERIENCE TO GO BELOW AND DO THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT HE JUST SAID?!?!?! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Little Coms Tip(actually it is a legal requirement), you should always be listening on Ch16, even if you are on an agreed channel or in this case misunderstanding 72 or 69 Ship to Ship Ch your VHF should still have Dual Watch and listen for any traffic on 16, or have a second VHF always set to CH16. If you both had 16 on you could of called up and moved to your chosen channel😉

@david_shih

yeah...we should have set the boat radio to 16...or one of the other handhelds...or just set it to scan

Glad everyone made it home safely. I raced a 150 mile long race thru some pretty bad storms in the Gulf of Mexico. We finished the race and tied up the boat in a slip around midnight. A little while later I saw a friend's boat come in, so I walked over to see how they'd done. He said they survived just fine but one of their crew got severely seasick and had puked 28 times. About that time, we heard a noise nearby and we turned around to see that crew member puking off the pier. My friend turned to me and said, "29 times".

Always enjoyable to watch David turn a disaster into a funny time at sea

Wow, that was painful to watch. Fortunately no one was hurt, thank God Jamie was there. I recall Parlay's post about this 2 years ago, but I don't think they covered all the mechanical issues. Hopefully you've spent the intervening 2 years making sure the boat was indeed ready to sail, and have had a chance to sail in less challenging conditions with some proper instruction. You've got good sense about mechanical things, and great enthusiasm, but any one of the number of rookie mistakes you made could have been tragic.

Where ya been brotha? Great video as always and very entertaining even though a lot of it was painful for you folks but that experience is priceless. Jamie is a beast and a heck of a sailor. You and your family will be to one day. Take care and God Bless...

Rough start, but all part of the process! I'm sure Colin was frustrated, but you guys are just starting out and he has the benefit of many years experience - all in time! FYI I've seen a lot of folks keep diving knives secured in mounted locations throughout the boat for just such emergencies; make sure it's in a spot you can access in rough seas, and in a sheath for protection. (Good opportunity to teach the kids some safety measures, as well.) All in all, really great video editing, and glad to see you back at it; important part is asking for feedback and not giving up, so you're well on the way! Fair winds. ✌
