DAVID!! Another amazing video brother. Also, please please please make more educational / entertainment content. I've been studying sailing for a few months now and your simple explanation of the halyards and sheets made it finally click for me. Can't wait for the next one! You are setting a new standard for sailing content.

Such an epic start to the trip. Neptune tests everyone in some way or another. You were tested and found worthy!! FYI There is a reason why we use a double 8 or figure 8 follow through to tie into a climbing harness with dynamic rope. A bowline is great because when it's unweighted it's easy to untie. Great for things like sails. Not so good for the 1 Knott keeping you attached to the rope. Figure 8 won't loosen when unweighted and is still easy to untie when done.

Shihlatte - where have you been Spoonta man! You bring a added adventure to your travels with the Parlay gang, can’t wait when you actually get there with your wonderful family on the high seas, the gentle sea breeze flowing through you hair, the bronzed and tanned body glowing from the evening sunset, the flying fish gathering for a encore performance of Phantom of the High Seas upon your highly modified foredeck’s with the your wonderful wife and adorable children singing the theme song from the Sound of Music 🎶. Ohh what a feeling Dave Shihlatte 😊😊😊

I been following this journey here and at Parlay's and this is now in my bucket list. I got angry when the sail was torn by the wind, everything seemed so good and out of nowhere that happened.

Very well done David! Looking forward to following your adventure!

Absolutely KILLIN the game in 2023 David. This video was a lot of fun and I am LOLing at your great sponsored segments.

Hey David. Great videos. Just watched one where you and Colin went up ur mast together. My only suggestion is to always use a second safety line when working up the mast. Our halyards get tons of abuse over their years of service, and even as strong as we think they are, they can break (or slip off a winch.). In fact, in ur video, look at how close your partner is to the end of the halyard on the winch. Holding with fingertips. One slip on ur partner’s part and the only thing that would have possibly saved you was the knot at the end of the halyard. Keep up the great work. Eric.

Hey David, before too long you'll be diving off that same height of the mast to make perfect 10-10-10 splashless dives into the crystal clear waters of a secluded anchorage! Or not. 😀 Swimming with Manta rays is amazing. But just wait until you swim with a whale shark! Totally safe to do (check local laws first) and the big ones can reach up to 40 feet. Plankton eating bohemians so no "Jaws" worries there. So, only episode #3. I'm buckled in for the rest of your journey!

@@david_shih for the Indo-Pacific whale sharks...usually from 30°N thru 35°S. They migrate and can range very far above or below those points. Once you make it to the Western Pacific area, from say... Fiji down to Australia, odds should be pretty high of spotting some close to shore as they feed through their migration. The Internet has quite a bit more about the wheres and whens in greater detail.

I think you hit the button with the worms/parasite remarks at the end. So often you see fishing and eating raw fish in the sailing videos here..seldom they talk about the risks. While getting sick by the sea..ya ya besides sea sickness😅..by the sea food can be a big problem when you are in the middle of the ocean or far away from good hospitals. Food security also a big item in a ocean sailors life, especially in the tropics. Waiting for your next video!!

Most of the worms are at the bottom of the tail, especially in Amberjack. Why don’t you slice the pieces as thin as you can, then lay them out flat on wax paper or some kind of tray and do layers. You can flash freeze them before you eat them, if they’re really thin, it shouldn’t take but a few minutes & to me it takes better cold. I like seeing you on these trips, you add a lot to the whole crowd and us at home!

@david_shih

that's not a bad idea on the slice super thin and freeze, but from what i've read you need to get it down to -35 for an hour or so or the parasites live. i'm actually considering getting a special vaccine freezer about the size of a microwave for the boat for this exact purpose!
