    There are only a few channels I watch religiously because of the quality and variety of the content and the characters that form part of it. From the comfort of a couch in Cape Town, Parlay has become a channel that I look forward to every Sunday and I never miss it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the joy your channel brings. Love & light. ❤❤❤

    Colin, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate each and every episode’s you put together. Not only is the scenery extraordinary and the music choices you make exceptional, it’s the feeling I get from watching such a great crew. My travel days are well behind, so getting to be with you vicariously is truly an honor. Keep it up, I’ll watch forever.

    Four or five years ago, I stumbled upon your channel, and it's been an incredible ride ever since. As a fellow Kiwi, I'm inspired by your determination and accomplishments. After a brief hiatus (a few years), I've finally caught up on your journeys - circumnavigating New Zealand, crossing the Pacific... your feats leave me breathless. You and Jamie have shown me that chasing dreams is tangible. Your unwavering passion and resilience have ignited my own aspirations. I'm grateful for the motivation your channel provides. I'm eager to embark on my own adventure soon. My swallow tattoos are calling, and I hope to find my way onto a boat. Thank you, Colin (a true Kiwi legend), and the entire Parlay crew, for sharing your journey and inspiring countless others. Cheers to many more thrilling episodes!

    I have watched you for a long time and rarely comment but I have to say living vicariously through you guys helps so much! I spent a majority of my weekends on the ocean for most of my life on my 36 foot trawler and various other boats on the coast of Vancouver. Sadly I had to move away from my beautiful coast line (but for good reason as I got to adopt my 2 sons) and am now in a wheel chair thanks to covid and the damage it did to my nervous system. I just sold my last ever boat an 18ft VIP with a cobra inboard last month to my niece and her husband. I took my last trip on my boat 2 yrs ago on the inlet to see the Orcas feast on the salmon run. It hurts to not be near the ocean but it kills me that I will never be out on the ocean again. Watching you and your crew experience ocean life gives me so much joy. I can't thank you enough for sharing your experience and I hope you always have red skies at night!

    I wish you were still on BDSY, I thought you did an awesome job overall on the series, you're a very good engineer and guy. I know you left the show of your own accord in order to do what's in your best interest. IMHO Gary should've got the axe, your part was way more important. You have scruples, which he does not, and nor do I believe he even knows the definition of them. Many fans will miss you for sure, myself being one of them.
    Happy sails and safe travels! 😊

    I can't thank you enough for your weekly Parlay Revival update videos.❤ I so look forward to Sundays to get the latest updates & videos of the incredible places that you go & people You meet. At almost 70 I do live vicariously through you.
    Your videos have given me something to think about other than another approaching Hurricane 🌀. This one I fear will be the final knockout punch. We have been beat to death ☠️ within these last 8 weeks with two other Hurricanes 🌀. It started with Hurricane Debbie in August. It wasn't supposed to be that much of a threat but it bitch slapped us with the massive outer bands. Now The last one Hurricane Helene 🌀was just a week ago. Its deadly damage has been felt throughout Florida & the southeast. I just got my power back on + my fence back up. We still haven't completed our clean up on everything. The sewage plants are overflowing into the Gulf of Mexico. Now we're awaiting Hurricane 🌀 Milton in a couple of days. It's now going to be a direct hit on the Tampa Bay area but it covers all of Florida. We have already lost all of our beaches with Hurricane 🌀 Debbie & Helene.So now the water will just come into the cities. I already had fish in my backyard & through the sewers & in the roads last time. I live 20 minutes away from the Gulf. So I am asking Please for your help with prayers 🙏 You reach a large audience. We need every prayer we can get here in Florida. Thanks so much for listening 🎧.
    ❤ Fingers crossed 🤞 for a Miracle 🍀🙏❤
