Not to mention its intense currents, dangerous coral reefs, violent storms and other severe weather conditions, just to name a few. Let’s not forget that it covers a third of the entire world. The mere size of the Pacific Ocean presents its own challenges. I have always felt that they talk about this passage nonchalantly, like “Oh no big deal, when we cross the Pacific…” Are you kidding me? It’s a HUGE deal. The biggest journey of their lives will begin shortly, as they have been working tirelessly to finish last-minute preparations for the crossing. They are getting ready to embark on the first big leg of their trip, (and arguably the most important) crossing the Pacific Ocean. It is the incredible work that he and his friends have done on Parlay and his dream of circumnavigating the globe, which is about to become a reality.

They continue to fix her as they go, chronicling their journey on their YouTube channel, Sailing Parlay Revival, which releases a new episode each week. Determined to fix her up, he and his friends hauled her out of the water and completely rebuilt the boat. The insurance companies deemed the vessel a constructive total loss. If you don’t know the incredible story of Parlay, here are Cliff’s Notes: SV Parlay is a hurricane-damaged Lagoon 450 Catamaran that Colin bought in Tortola, BVI after Hurricane Irma. I guess I should have figured it out sooner considering they were donned head-to-toe in Parlay Revival gear, but I was too starstruck to notice at first. To be fair, Colin was there with Daisy Kelliher (Chief Stew on Seasons 2-4). This is one of those moments where the hand-to-forehead emoji would be appropriate. I thought they were there promoting Below Deck. I knew nothing about Parlay or that their YouTube channel even existed. I immediately recognized Colin being the fangirl of Bravo’s Below Deck that I am. I originally met Colin MacRae and Jamie Vandenbulk at the Newport International Boat Show, where they were promoting their YouTube channel Sailing Parlay Revival.
