First we sold everything and sunk it all into our dream boat, a Lagoon 450 catamaran. Then we found out it had broken bulkheads which would cost $100k to fix. The manufacturer refused to take responsibility or even assist so I searched the world for help and somehow connected with Sailing Parlay Revival. I abandoned my family in Texas and sailed across the entire Carribean to Panama to figure out a way to make our boat whole again.

Where's the content????
Never use the word REPEAT on a radio. It means bad things.
where is the storm,,, pathetic sailing channel , like most of them, cheers
19:36 wait a minute. Didn’t you tell me you were worried the mounts would not come out because they were rusted so bad??
Yeah dude no shit! Did nobody tell you that lagoons are the least capable boats you can get? Like seriously. THAT is the "Lagoon experience" 😅People do not say without reason that "they build the boat around the curtains". Btw you do know who are "they"? Interior designers. Yeah. Through that lack of performance mindset you get a rudder that is in front(!!!!!) of the prop and not behind so you get a proper hydro flow around the prop! Like wtf!? Yeah, that steering issue is also "Classic lagoon". The one I sailed in croatia for two weeks was not able to be steered by hand. It was always going to the side only the autopilot could somehow manage to steer straight ahead. But you couldn't use the winches when using the autopilot because the battery system was waay underpowered for even basic sailing(The moment you realize lagoon is a big middle finger to anyone who loves sailing). But yeah. the boat builders have no sailing in mind. They only think about chartering(It's like the apple of boating who completely lost the touch to it's customer base). I'm DEAD serious. All these issues are often read on several sailing forums. It wasn't a unique instance. I know it's always a hustle to sell a boat and buy a new one. But LITERALLY EVERY other boat is a better sailing boat. I would check out Privilege. Like the around y2k models 96-2008 there you can get quite the nice luxury(with high polish luxury woods, LOVE IT)boats around 45foot for 250-300k. Check out Zatara they have a freaking beautiful 585.

Yeah these girls are trippin. There is literally no land.
Maybe your boat is just faster than Parlay? 😏how bout that!
Yeah I felt those movement perpection glitches on land when I was sailing for 2 weeks on a 2019 450 in croatia. Quite the experience.
Just found your channel and looking forward to follow your journey.
You are lucky,boats have (filotimo)
I love your wife, she is so funny!! You both remind me of my husband and I working together on a boat project we did. We called out boat B.O.A.T. (Break out another thousand) they are such money and time required to enjoy them.
How do you buy a boat and get insurance/loan with no prior sailing experience/log/certification? I'm about to go get my asa 101-114 to even start that process because everyone has said that I can basically kiss insurance goodbye (let alone any part of financing) if I don't have SOME kind of cert/training.
Now I know why the videos aren’t weekly. That’s maximum on the stress chart. Glad y’all made safely.
Why do kids draw on everything, I ask that every day!
David! First, I'm LOVING your videos! Very entertaining and informative. And, I have discovered that you actually read comments! 😀 Unlike many KZreadrs. And, even from non-patrons! Suggestion: As an American citizen you can use Zelle for donations. NO MIDDLE MEN, and instantaneous receipt of the money!!! Post your Zelle account information. It's EASY. Look at one of KZreadr Catherine Gregory's videos to see how easy. ❤😀👍
not a bad idea...i'll give it a shot! thx!
@@david_shih You're welcome!! 😀❤👍
Wish he would publish a video every week, not once in three months. Best sailing channel ever!
aw too kind...working on getting vids out sooner! they just take forever to edit!
I always Love to see your videos. Learning how to navigate a sail and keeping everyone safe is a Captain's goal. You do learn quickly and have support from Mary too, which helps. After reading many comments i feel you already know the severity of having so many changes to your voyage and improvement of your crew and sea skills. Glad Jamie was onboard to assist. We all could use a well experienced mate. Sea school and more time on the water will make you safer and future sails more comfortable. Don't be afraid and always remember to learn from any mistakes you or even others make. My goal is to learn something new every day. Lines on deck look cool, but always better in a secure box somewhere. Great high seas fix with the zip ties. Ospho rust elimination will stop rust on mount plates and ready the surface for paint to assist against corrosion. Ospho is great in the engine room and any iron protection. But be careful in use and onboard storage. Be safe and we look forward to another adventure soon. Randolph and Traci
hey thanks for the constructive feedback randolph! we're learning... ill try the ospho stuff for rust, thx!
@@david_shih a old boat Capt, Captain Dan was his name. Showed me how Ospho worked on his engine room and was a great time saver in prep for paint.
I don't know whether to laugh (I do) or cry at your VIDEOS!! Tons of RESPECT, David!! Carry on!! 😀
aw thanks brother! cool bird!
Yep.. the kids .. being out there.. makes me nervous 😶😒
I started looking for boat action .. when I stopped hearing from la Vega bond folks // colons friends / the guy that s u supposed to be following 🤔 no s them ,, I must say .. u are telling way more info .. with what's going on with different things 👍🏾👍🏾
I watch others out there on that big """"" ass ocean """" U guys talk bout whole different shyt 👀👀👍🏾
Groovy episode. Not quite planned great, but in all fairness it was your first real trip. Next time make a check list of things to do before sailing and then double check it with an experienced sailor.
yeah checklist is the way to go, too many things to forget
We ended up Hand steering for 2700 miles across the pacific after ours failed.
that is insane!!!!! bet you were zombies by the time you got there!
Beautiful boat, yeah have to be handy or collectively handy to run a boat stuff always happens.
So true! Lots of “figuring it out along the way!”
Tell the truth ... gud for you ....!!!!😅😂😂😂
All fixed now thankfully! But what a crazy time that was!
You can break the tip of the rod when you pull it right back like you were doing.
Thx Had no idea. Fishing newbie here! How are you supposed to pull it?
@david_shih yes you are doing the right thing but go from 5 o'clock to 2 o'clock, it's called tip loading your rod and you can break the tip of. Keep up with the videos.
Man you fouled your own prop... and more .. Your playing with your lives..
i know...did it to ourselves...we're learning...
Dude.....Where the hell ya been...hope all is okay.....crazy video
all good, trying to get rid of all the land stuff so we can cruise full time
@@david_shih Just checking in.....all the best
Sorry but this sounds foolish to sell your house to live on the boat full time. With millions of people fighting to get into a home along with rising housing prices and interest rates, it will be even more difficult to get back into a house once you get tired of this lifestyle. Most people quit this sailing lifestyle after a few years for many reasons. Just remember that every year your boat is depreciating in value while real estate continues to go up in value. For example, say your house is worth 700K and you sell it now. Years down the road when you get sick of this lifestyle and want to go back into a house again, an equivalent house that you want to live in may cost you $1.2M and with an even higher interest rate! On top of that, you now have to pay an even higher property tax just to live in the same kind of house that you lived in before. So unless you got $10M in the bank, this lifestyle is not practical. So please DO NOT SELL YOUR HOUSE.
oh...it's definitely not practical, i'll give you that. but it's a dream you know? we're debating hard on if we should keep it and rent it, but we need some of the cash out of it at the moment.
@@david_shih David by the way....Sailing Zingaro is already quitting boat life and are planning to buy property in Europe.
dude your video are amazing your deserve more,exited for next video also i recommend you changing those batteriers you have as littium batterie as their 10x time lighter and way more efficient
thanks voz! and yes, we're going full lithium soon!
I had to laugh right off the bat seeing you two unable to communicate.
Man, the inspection should have caught those mounts, i would think.
Nice to get a video!
Sorry, you're so sympathetic people, all the four - but this is gravely irresponsible. Especially with small kids. Boat obviously far from seaworthy, you lack even the basic knowledge - and find it funny to place yourself and others into risk? Once, you may - hopefully before running into serious trouble - have enough experience and knowledge, you'll have learned, how quickly 'trouble' at sea can switch into existential threat. If you behave for yourself and your wife like drunk teenagers - your choice. But the kids....?? It's not fun wacthing this.
Pretty ridiculous decisions.
bro that's sooooo much work. I only have an 18 footer im restoring and it's killing me
New subscriber. We Love the energy. Me a my wife laughed the entire time. ❤
You did this with your family on board? in a broken boat! You sir are an idiot!
This was reckless u taking the boat on such a trip with out shaking the boat out with smaller trips close to shore
Where hell have you been!
I am living my life thru you vicariously. I will have to win the lottery to catch up to you.
You should not be on the ocean in a modern vessel like what without AIS. I hope that's on your 'to do' list.
Awesome episode. I enjoyed watching!
What you call garden sheers are actually TIN SNIPS lol.
oooooh that's what those were. no idea where they even came from!
@@david_shih Haha :)
This video makes me NOT want to sail :D
why are so my youtube sailors just fools taking children on board sailing into a storm with dodgy engines .As a mariner you should always be compentent not just winging it .find a weather guru pay him the 20 bucks to organise your passage with tides and weather
What a couple dopes. You're both supposed to monitor channel 16, the hailing and distress channel. Then move to the appropriate working channel.
Dude...proud of you. So many challenges and you made it through. Seems like a rite of passage in both literal and figurative sense.
