WHAT IT’S LIKE TO BE “FAMOUS” FOR 5 DAYS! - Episode 132
It was an absolutely crazy few days in Annapolis where we had a small taste of what it would be like to be famous. People were queuing up for a signed hat, and we couldn't walk 5m down the road without being stopped. And we were among 30 other sailing channels at the show, so it was amazing to be part of such a huge event, and get to know some of the other sailing channels out there. Overall, the most humbling experience of my entire life.
Other sailing channels featured in this episode: SV Delos, Cruisers academy, Odd life sailing, Expedition evans, Sailing the far side, Spearit animal, Sailing Zephyr, David Shih sails,
Footage was shot by all the Parlay crew plus David Shih sails.
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 to their catamaran in Panama, so have fixed her up, and are almost ready to cross the Pacific Ocean!!

You should be well on your way to figuring out why people like you. They trust you. You are an honest guy telling a story of what has happened to you in real life. Real. Key word there. Your real life experience has helped a lot of others who are finding the truth of your story fits in their boat, and their lives, too. You have been very candid but haven't been a jerk about it. Character. Honest. Integrity. Those things still matter in the world, and this is why you find people supporting you. Your humility and the reaction you had to being so in demand at the show just reinforces the assessment folks have of you. Hold on to that humility, Colin. I suspect this is far from over....

Fantastic Karen. Just fantastic. Way to make an absolute fool out of yourself in front of thousands. Well done! Hope she learned her lesson.
Wow!!! that was crazy the way that lady just lied and was caught on YOUTBE saying that no one from France was there and then the Frenchy waltz in and greets you personally. That's not egg on her face but a full Porta Potti after a Beer party with chili. That was so awesome at so many levels. Keep it going Colin
In a former life I helped with a lot of book-signings. When I bumped into you in the Friday afternoon heat, you definitely had the look of somebody who had spent too many hours face-to-face with fans. To your credit, you appeared to be handling the experience better than most of the authors and cooks I worked with back in the day. Well done for putting in the effort and making the 500th fan feel just as special as the first!

The measure of a reputable company is not it’s ability to manufacture “quality” product, it’s the willingness to back up that product, admit to possible flaws, and embrace the solution. Lagoon has proven they are “on board” with that concept.

Screw the bed comment you and your crew rock!!!

Colin, your inspirational quote at your intro to all of your Parlay videos, ("If you want an inspiration to live life to it's fullest, 20 years from now you'll be more disappointed by things you didn't do, than by the things you didn't. So what are waiting for?") should be on all of the Lagons brochures. What a sales pitch. Your a wonderful ambassador for all of the sailing industry.
This is hands down the best Annapolis boat show video out there. Thanks for making us feel as if we were actually there! I regret not being able to make it there this year. Would have loved getting to meet you all.

But every time I look at the vastness of this lake, I always think of your channel and what you guys might be doing at that exact moment in time. Maybe you also were looking out at a vast puddle of water wondering what’s next in life.
