WE BROKE UP - A fresh start in Panama - Episode 106
Unfortunately my relationship with Martina came to an end a couple of months ago, and I explain what happened in this episode. I then finally make it back to Parlay in Panama, and we start to get serious about repairing her cracked bulkheads...

Colin, you are the old school young man, the barter system, the community system, the worker, you may not have the subs of others right now, who cares, you never sold yourself out, you stayed true to you, and true to us viewers, fame like this will be rewarded and remembered always, you will always attract what you give, especially in our current circumstances globally, What a standout! Cheers Australia 🇦🇺

Hey mate. Greetings from Down Under. You do realise that Colin is a Kiwi dont you? We wil claim him though as he personifies what being an Aussie is all about. Have yourself a nice day and stay safe.
Mad respect. If I am not mistaken you went on Below Deck to get money to repair Parlay. No idea how you tolerated those clowns. You could have been like others on KZread who hit their fans up when they need money or a new boat. You are the man.

@@willsmith2041 Despite the 'WE BROKE UP' title, it's not until half way through that the 'boat story' switches to the 'living the dream story' with which the beautiful Martina was an inextricable part. The boat story attracts the would be sailors on a DIY budget ( My personal interest). For those dreamers out there, I myself have been in a 7 year ' living the dream ' story with a beautiful Filipina many decades younger than myself. Relationships in reality are written in blood ties, you have a relationship with your offspring and parents, what you may experience with others are quid pro quo 'companionships' and these are at the mercy of fickle nature - fair winds and foul. In time, mother nature changes our 'quid pro quo' perceptions and companions go their own way. Had the boat story not been punctuated with major holdups that necessitated working for a living to finance repairs, thus pushing the ' living the dream story ' into the doldrums, the companionship might have survived. The lesson for would be sailors, is BUYER BEWARE - get a survey done before you put an albatross around your neck.
Watched you on Below Decks - you were the most mature person on that crew. All the best

LOL, my wife is a big time viewer of the "Below Deck" series and she fell head over heals for our boy Colin. No surprise solid dude who is transparent between his real self and the YT / TV celebrity. Cheers Colin ..... 🍻
Very upstanding of you to not ‘dis’ your ex.... Rather you supported her and wished her well, and promote her. The World needs more role models and ‘stand up guys ‘ like you ‘mate’ 👍👍
It’s so hard not to root for Colin and parlay. Such a good guy. Mad respect

you have to see sisyphus as smiling.
Broken boat,broken heart,dog still loves you,there is a country and western song in there somewhere
Sometimes you just have to walk away...whether you look back is up to you....I'm so fortunate that I meet my love at 13 and we are celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary in September....like on a boat...what a ride.......
Hi Col, you’re ability to keep pushing ahead in very very difficult times is truly a huge inspiration to me, I’ve watched every single episode, I wait with baited breath for every Sunday, my wife says I’ve got a massive man crush on you and I probably do. You’ve had such a hard run of things lately and you just keep smiling, your a legend, even though the All Blacks keeps smashing the Wallabies. To you and all the crew sail well and keep safe. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇳🇿🇳🇿

What does All Blacks smashing the wallabies mean?? I guess you’re Australian 🤔
Sad to hear about the breakup. I thought you two were a good couple from the start. It is good seeing you back in Panama and looking forward to seeing the work go forward on Parlay. McFly's reaction to your homecoming was everything I expected. Dogs don't forget family and they cannot hide their emotions.
Dear Colin, so beautiful to see your reunion with Mcfly. Lost my Mugsie a while ago and still have a hole in my heart. So cheers to you , mate.
Mcfly's reaction to seeing you was priceless.
Man, dog reunions absolutely slay me. I got so weepy, especially thinking about the loss of Marty, and the loss of my own dog Magnus last year in November. Must feel SO good to see McFly again!

So true, dogs are the best in life but then the worst when they pass and you don't.
Much respect to both of you Colin, how you still support her efforts after the breakup makes me rethink my own resentments and how to resolve them. Hats off to you and best of luck always. TK.
You're a legend, Colin. A sweet, sweet man.
You Colin are the most "real" person on youtube .Keep up the good spirits! I'm looking forward to see more of that marina aera as I'm planning to move from Costa Rica to Panama..and dream of living on a sailboat!! Hooked on your channel,its a life learning channel!!
Life has its crossroads. Each path will take you to new adventures. 😎
"Really excited to start grinding fiberglass again"...That was hilarious!
Colin - Sorry to hear of your breakup with Martina. I wish you all the luck in the coming future with your Cat. and hope that it goes smoothly for you. I will miss Martina on your channel.
As a person going through a lot i really needed to hear this..thank you for always giving us some positivity..best of luck to you all

I think his philosophy on living in the present may be a detriment to any future relationships because women are always planning and looking for the security of a relationship to fall back on when plans don't turn out. Living in the moment isn't very conducive to future security. But, wth do I know? It is more fun to live in the present for sure.

So sorry to hear about the breakup, but understand and wish you both good luck and well wishes. Glad to see you back on the Parlay and working on her and get back to sailing.
Things will definitely work out. Keep making the great content. 👍
Great to see you guys are enjoying life for a little while before you start again on parlay hope to see you sailing again
So glad to see you back on Parlay, excited to see the repairs take place, and get her back in the water better and stronger than before, and with such a good friend as Jamie by your side, it will happen!,
This is why we L♥️VE your channel… amazing crew and captain, kick ass DIY projects, epic sailing… AND your chill philosophic vibe! Regret=Living in the past…Anxiety=Worrying about the future… BE PRESENT IN THIS MOMENT! ♥️✌🏼⛵️
I loved Martina! I'm sure that was heartbreaking.

How good it is to see someone who loves his dog as much as the dog loves him.
We can tell you are a genuine beautiful soul. Love your adventures and your outlook.
The most important thing was you had a form of transportation packed into the highfield, the skateboard is priceless!
So much respect for you. Have LOVED following your journey. It has been the worst year for me in 65 but your contagious attitude has been a beacon for me. XOXO
Thank you for allowing us into your lives!! Super excited to see the guys back together and stocked to see the upcoming footage and adventures!! Linton Bay looks like a nice place would love to see it one day
Every encounter, every relationship, every experience, shapes who we are. This is a never ending process that makes us who we are today, different from who we were yesterday. It's part of the human condition. Glad you are back on Parley though, and I look forward to following you on your repairs and ultimately your sailing adventures. Cheers from Winnipeg.
By far the best sailing site to follow thanks to the sheer enthusiasm and honesty you bring to us every week Colin. A real pleasure every time without fail.
Always love and appreciate how genuine you are, and your willingness to share with us. Cheers mate!
Thank you for your magnificent channel and movies along the coast lines of South America and wherever you go. I love following you, get a glimpse of that part of the world I haven’t seen . I also thank you for your sympathetic way of presenting the things happening around you . I really envy you for the peaceful way of life you present
I just started watching your channel in the past few months. So I can't wait to see you working on your own boat and moving towards your goal of sailing Parlay around the world. Also Man what a welcome from your dog,That unconditional, always loyal love from a dog is something special.
life has its ebbs and flows. the hurt is real but you have the memories and the love will always be there for her. been there brother. just remember, don't let distance determine your destiny. sometimes the distance is what makes a relationship stronger and truly opens the heart.
I missed Jamie he is a legend. Hope all goes well with the repair.
Worry is a wasted emotion, but sometimes its saves our asses from disaster. Your approach to life is much appreciated.
It’s the stopping at the yellow light everyone else blew through for me 😍 We love a safe driver
“Anyway here we are it’s time to fix this boat” I’m going to write a song about that. I feel you, seeing you be so honest about fixing a boat and relationships can be. We didn’t last the refit. Thank you, your videos are inspiration. Recently bought a 43ft tri as my next life challenge. Round Australia solo, starting on my 40 in 2 years.
The dog reunion made me cry
I've seen watched and listened to so many videos on utube and just this episode has changed my life in so many ways ... Thank u
So many valuable lessons as a fan of Sailing Parlay Revival. Very poignant life commentary applicable to wherever you are, and however you're feeling, right now.
Watching channel from day one, and love the "work" episodes and love the 'sailing' episodes. Reuniting with McFly brought a tear to my eyes. Keep up the spirit of what you are doing and take care of the dogs.
Your Amazing!!! I have been with you for quite awhile and I simply love your honesty, advice and how sincere you are. Im a firm believer in Things Always Happen For A Reason!!!!!
Eckhart Tolle, although your connection to Sailing Delos brought me here it was your compassion for the young family who's mast broke and the beautiful story within. We have all sat on that park bench, the way we grow and the route to the reward. Appreciate your truth in sharing, wish you the best always.
Welcome back home to your own boat! Let the hard work begin! Everything happens for a reason, and this work needed to be done before you were 1000 miles from land and things got really ugly or a really bad storm! I know a breakup can be hard, but remember that if you don't try you will never know if someone is the right person for you! When one door closes a new one opens up! Also, what a hard timeframe to meet someone when everything is in lockdown and your boat came apart and lightning hit your electrical. That relationship had more stress than any normal relationship! The right person will come along for you.
People come in your life for a season or more everything happens for a reason !! Follow your heart alway ❤
Don't burn out bro. Take care!
All the best for both (all) of you. Onward! 🇨🇦
Needed to hear your positivity today. Thank you!
So glad you were both able to go your separate ways in a mature way. Keep your head up!
I’ve been MIA on watching your videos and many episodes behind. The positive part is I can catch up and look forward in doing so. Sorry about the relationship ending but as you say, everything happens for a reason. Best wishes and prayers for you and the whole crew.
Geez bro you nearly brough tears to my eyes , Thats Impressive Having the Naval Architect that designed ya Boat well done
Wherever we want to go, we go. That's what a ship is, you know. It's not just a keel and hull and a deck and sails. That's what a ship needs. But what a ship is... what the Black Pearl really is... is freedom. - Jack Sparrow
Happy Earth Day Parlay Revival! Stay strong and awesome! Hugs from Colorado!
Keep moving forward Colin!!! Glad to see Jamie again! Keep up the great work guys!!! Fair winds and following seas to Martina!
Great to see Parley getting the love. Hope you dance the waves soon.
So sad to hear, but I'm sure you have enriched one another's lives and whilst you both have sadness, there will I hope be many happy memories for you also.
Nothing like the feeling of being home after being away for so long. Awesome journey!!
Good on you Colin. Your a good bloke. It shines through in your video's.
Things dont always work out like we would hope, youre a stand up guy - best to both of you
I read that book, and it made a huge difference in the way I handled stressful situations, and my life in general. I, too firmly believe that all things happen for a reason. Panama is a beautiful country, and I hope to visit there again someday.
Sorry to hear your news but really pleased at your positive attitude. Everything happens for a reason, been told that by my parents since i was so young, never really understood until i have been through my life journey of ups and downs. Good luck with the repairs, I am keeping a keen eye on how you get on.
Tank you for sharing the realities of life with us it's nice to know that there's a plan had democratic continue to share this journey with you
I knew I had always loved you as a human being! You are really awesome, down to earth and such a kind soul. Also, I’m always known to say the same thing “everything happens for a reason” I truly believe that.
So glad I found your channel you are a stand up guy and I can't wait to see parlay repaired and back on the water for her next adventures.
Ahh so happy you could get back to your boat and puppy! Good for you and crew- you will get thru it and seems like nice environs to accomplish the repairs- she will be better than ever! 🧜🏽♂️
Good one mate, let's hope once you and Jamie get Parlay fixed up there are open countries to sail to... 🤞⛵
Now that all the current breaking is done. Let the Repair begin. Gotta keep that P.M.A.🤙🏾 Positive Mental Attitude
God Bless you brother and Martina!!! you are both wonderful folks great love to both of you WWG1WGA
I'm sorry about your break up they're never easy hang in there and I wish both of you the best.
As always positive attitude and full of wisdom thanks guys I hope things go well stay safe until next Sunday 👋
Can’t wait to see what adventures you have coming up Colin !! Cheers mate
All things considered, happy you are back with Parlay. You were the perfect gentleman on Below Deck. Thanks for taking us along.😎
At :30 memories of Miami returned. Always wait 3 seconds after green to go or guaranteed t-bone. Caught you first on Below Deck, didn't realize the magnitude of your endeavor until I found your channel here. I've had 30 years airline tech, with 8+ years fiberglass/composite work and I can't imagine doing the repairs you did on the water before even getting the boat dry. Fair winds and smooth seas to ya and we'll stay with you on your voyage.

Man, I've only seen 3 video's now but I'm super inspired by you. Will follow you from now on for sure. Thanks
Mad respect,you’re both adults,living in the modern world,peace to you both
You are a very wise and impressive person. Such a good video!!
Stay the course brother! Your an inspiration to so many for many many reasons! 🐾❤️🐾
Great attitude! I am a strong believer in everything happening for a reason too and actually thought that when Parlay had problems and then you went back on the super yacht/Below Deck, Florida and Bahamas. Hopefully you gained more followers and Parteons so you can follow your dreams! Thanks for sharing the ride It is truly inspiring. Pura vida from Cosa Rica
excellent plan and positive vibes as everyone moves forward.
Glad to see you back on the boat!! 🍻 🥂 🍻
Hey Legend Thanks for the update. Can’t wait for the rehab videos to come.
I enjoyed you on that "reality show" and you proved your moral character there. I look forward to watching your progress on the fix to the boat.
God Bless you all are and is a great gift you give to us who can not get out of land locked situation. God Bless you all 🤙🏻
Bummed to hear about you and Martina. Welcome back to Mc Fly and Parlay
