Hello, I wanted to share this. I lost my dog last night to a tragic accident. My wife told me to watch something that would make me smile and forget. I came to this channel. Great Episode as usual. Thanks, SPR!
I’m so sorry for your loss@the tingle I have lost 5 fur babies in my lifetime and all are tragic. I have a 16 yo fur baby and I cry even thinking about him passing.
As I diver I am not fond of this cage diving practice, well I guess the cage is not the problem, but the chumming. I was diving in the Red Sea last year in waters with oceanic white tips and other sharks. It is amazing to witness them in the water. They are majestic at a distance, but we do not want to encourage them to come close to divers by associating us with food.
I've been diving for over 20 years. There is one thing I learned about diving in waters with large predators.. don't. If you get caught in a bad situation in a long safety stop dive... you are a sitting duck. You don't feed ANY predator (not just sharks...) because not only do they associate divers with food but because of their large size you can easily be bitten or attacked. Conservation ( justly or not...) has increased shark numbers to the point where some areas I used to dive I no longer frequent. Don't put your life in someone else's hands. They are there for money... not you. Think it's just mistaken identity? Try this: ruclips.net/video/sUhdHQlUJi0/видео.html . It's not about mistaken... wrong place... wrong time... wrong activity... you're on the menu.
@@doctordemento965 nice to think youre entitled to be in the ocean..... fun to see youre entitled to safety.... im confused though, why do you think you can enter somones home and act like they have to adjust to your whims..... i would have thrown you out of my window if you acted like that in my home, mind you i live on the 4th floor ;)
Are you sure they were oceanic whitetip and not whitetip reef sharks? Two entirely different species, the oceanic is one of the most dangerous species on the planet. Or, were you on a caged shark diving tour?
Hi Colin, here in the game reserves of South Africa we do not feed the lion for instance to guarantee a sighting for the visitors, you just take pot luck. It should be the same for the sharks. As to sailing round the Cape, there are some really nice places to wait for a window to go round, Hout bay, Kalk bay and obviously Cape Town. (pricey though)
Great footage of the sharks, I so love Rakiura, but not sure about the cage people feeding sharks there, bit of a tourist hit tho, I did swim there or take a dip as it is cold. Thanks for sharing this great episode.
I´ve drunk there bought a lobster fisher a handle, he threw ashore a bag of lobsters when I was staying at the Edmond Hillary hut up north on the island. Great pub
They do the same thing here in Florida. They feed and swim with the sharks. Now they have learned the sound of boat motors means food. I spearfish and fish a lot and we have a huge problem with them here.
Great episode. With abalone clean/cut off all of the dark lip or green lip stuff so you are left with the white meat. Cut the meat into match width 1-2mm slices. Throw some flour 1 cup and some curry powder 1 tablespoon "kerns" into the bag and chuck the ab slices in shake. Get oil hot then fry for 1 -2 mins. For a dipping sauce, equal parts mayo and tomato sauce mixes together and a decent squirt of hot taco sauce. Min n dip. Guarantee best abalone! Thanks for the episode. Cheers
@@ParlayRevival Dude thanks for the content, you are living one of my dreams. Sailed / raced yachts when I was younger mainly on a 42 catalina, family nowadays with a land lover wife and two young kids. For now my caravan is my land yacht. Australia not such a bad place to be stuck on land but I do miss the sailing. You have a unique crew, in that everone from our side seems to get along. You guys make for great watching, keep it up. With the sharks you have to remember they poach seals off the rocks and you guys look extra yummy to them sitting on your floating rock :) i remember a day when I had to go in and pull 20 odd winds of rope off our rudder at 8 in the morning after filleting a dozen snook and throwing all the bodies off the back the night before in the sir Joseph banks group (White pointer city). Sir Joseph banks group is well worth a look along with thistle Island if you are heading towards south Australia. Dangerous reef is worth a visit to see the Big great whites.
It wasn't very popular when it first started and im pretty sure that hasn't changed I know there are places we use to swim as kids all along the south coast and S.I thats no longer safe anymore, and we were always taught shark danger. You have to have some big balls to go diving in those waters now
Big Sharks - better place to be is on the Yacht bro, another top episode there Colin!! A lot of history down the Southern parts of NZ thanks for allowing us to be part of your travels - Be Safe, Be careful, and God Bless the crew! PS Jamie has a schit load of clothes on let’s hope he don’t get the runs 😮
Wonderful that you guys got to see them, but I don't agree with baiting and virtually teasing them and yes as you say Colin, pretty much training them to associate boats with food and in fact humans with food. I also hate to see them smash into the cages, not sure if it causes the damage on their faces but wouldn't be surprised.
So many first in one episode you are spoiling the RUclips family 🎉😅 (I saw a couple of kiwi on the way from Auckland cbd to Henderson walking on the side of the motorway but never close like that!)
Large ships actually lower the sea level around them while under way, the shallower the water, the faster they go, the greater the effect. It's a consideration for large ships in harbours for sure. The QE2 years ago actually grounded (going into New York) because they did not take consideration for the effect, sometimes referred to as the squat effect. Wanting to see a Great White, who knows it might be more than happy to see you - dinner time. Frankly those teeth tell me all I want to know. You can see Orca's if you want off Gibraltar, the Orca's themselves do their best for you to go swimming with them 🙂 100 years ago... my house is much older than that (1850's) 🙂
Calm your tits down.. Where in Florida did they use to shark cage and for what sharks? Great whites? Chumming far away from the populated areas and off the beaten path, there’s no problem (if you look at their annual migration, mating places. People like yourself are probably nit aware tha5 the government are chumming up the waters close to beaches where an aggressive shark has been spotted (or several). to get them attracted to the drum lines (for the big 3 but also at times for smaller sharks as well. It’s just not in the news or being written about. Florida has way too many bull sharks for example which can be very vicious and aggressive (bull sharks have the highest levels of testosterone of all animals, ramming you like a bull, found in rivers, inlets can survive where fresh water meets salt water.
“Until the sharks started started attacking people” - There is absolutely NO way you or anyone else can prove your theory. It’s impossible to confirm that cage diving could be responsible for increased shark attacks. That’s just ludicrous and frankly irresponsibility shit posting, The real reason for mire shark attacks is the sharp increase of them everywhere. (Bulls, tubers, great whites etc7. They all need ro eat a lot. They are coming closer to shore to find food. But it’s often a case of mistaken identity or aggressive territorial behavior by some sharks.
Calm your tits down… There’s no way you or anyone can prove that shark age diving is responsible for more shark attacks. That’s just disillusioned and dangerous spreading of misinformation.
I don’t think you are even aware of the chumming done by the government off many beaches where they set dry lines to catch the mist aggressive sharks, if they have a problem is certain areas.
Sharks look pretty knocked about by attempts to penetrate those cages. I reckon leave ‘em alone to be wild and find another tourism business, cause there’s plenty of magnificence around there to experience. Ab diving is probably more sustainable for tourists to get their thrills. Bloody cold tho🥶
feeding sharks is not okay...surprised the NZ government allows it...considering they think pitbulls are so dangerous 🤔 It might be cool to see a great white but what you all saw was not "real" . I heard your hesitation to do this and wonder what your thoughts are as a crew? The Kiwi birds are so cute! I am at Latitude: 48° 30' 33.11" N Longitude: -123° 09' 1.08" W come visit! 😅
Colin I have had 100's of encounters with White Sharks surfing at Trail 1 San Onofre CA. They are not interested in eating us. But they are inquisitive. I had 1 encounter where 2 guys brought a hobie kayak down to Trail 1 and paddled out past where I was surfing and dropped a chum bag and a baited hook. in 5 minutes they had a 7 foot juvenile on the hook. I caught a wave and went left on my backhand. I notice the dudes line is taught as I ducked and barely missed running into a line that had a hooked white shark. I paddled in and watched him land it on the beach. He flipped it on it's back and took his left knee and held the sharks torso while his right hand went into it's mouth with no gloves and he took the hook out. He then turned it around and grabbed it by it's tail and dragged it out about 30 yards. He then rocked it back and forth and then released it. It was crazy to watch and I have the photos to prove it. I called fish and game on them because they chummed the water I was surfing. They came back a few days later and I knew both of their cars because I took photos to give to fish and game. I let the air out of their tires and left a note on their car. It said, " This time I let the air out of your tires. Next time I'll take a baseball bat to your car!" I have sailed on a 52 ft Lagoon from Ft Lauderdale to Newport RI! I am really enjoying watching your lifes adventures on Parlay Revival.
And my alltime favorite vacation was Tortola where I promised my wife this isn't a surf trip. We booked a week at The Sugar Mill. I had no surfboard and we arrived the night Trump won the 2016 election. I go to have breakfast and see The Bomba Shack is firing and my wife let me rent a board. I ran into a New Yorker with a long lens and asked him to shoot me because I rip! lol He did and I have pro shots of me ripping The Bomba Shack on a Chinese NSP 6" 2 with catamarans in the background. They are the only surf photos I have of myself and I put them on aluminum and have a 4 photo sequence of me gouging the bomba shack.
My opinion, I lived in Hawaii for 8 yrs…in peace. I look at the shark issues in the Bahamas, where just about every anchor, the sharks come rocking up because of people feeding sharks with their catch. There were a lot of attacks this year. It’s not nature to chum sharks. “Conditioned response” is a man-made problem that will affect generations of ocean travelers to come. Not a fan of chumming for tourism. Just my opinion. On a lighter note, big congrats on the journey south man. What a great team❤❤
@@MizzAugust7the scars have nothing to do with the cages, they attack seals for a living in the shallows bouncing off barnacled rocks all the time. The cages are designed not to hurt the sharks if they bump into them
South Africa incoming ... whooo whooo would LOVE to see Parlay docked here, and meet you all one day! Happy to be your local tour guide 😊🙏 Great shark encounter - makes me think of the terrifying boat attacks around Portugal and Spain; hell no thanks!! That small bite in your boat hull will be a solid reminder not to mess with them gnarly ragged toothed bad boys! They even look like beat up street fighters 😅😂
Man what incredible footage. You guys knock it out of the park! Parley crew is just so inspiring, you show such amazing and unique adventures that this beautiful world has to offer. Thanks for bringing such amazement every week. Top notch.
Well, one thing about being 2-3 miles from where you saw the great whites, is the shark cage boats are chumming, so there are less likely to be sharks where you are diving because you are not chumming. At least one could hope. You are right, sharks don't eat humans because humans taste YUCKY! LMAO! Seriously though, our blood has too much iron in it which makes us smell bad and taste bad to sharks. The problem with the sharks where you are is that they are used to humans and boats and see them as food sources, therefore it could make them more likely to attack humans even if they don't eat them. I would think though, they are probably hanging out over where they get chummed more. I don't think it is a good idea to chum sharks for cage diving. Frankly, it isn't a good idea to feed wild animals period. It teaches them bad habits and can make them dependent on humans, and in this case, it could turn really bad, because they are used to humans and boats and are not afraid of them.
Wow, calm seas AND once in a lifetime encounters.. totally understand the pride you have in New Zealand,, such a breathtaking one of a kind place on this big blue ball.. bravo one and all 🍻 CHEERS PARLAY
Hi @Colin, Big lover of your channel. I'm from South Africa and a dive instructor in Cape Town, so when you do the Cape of Good Hope trip it would be absolutely epic to take you and your team for a dive in the Cape Town kelp forests. I was also very conflicted about the shark cage diving industry but after chatting to many experts in the industry and the studies done it is refreshing to know the sharks don't associate food with people and the boats. In Gansbaai, we have many studies done revealing that its always new sharks that come past and not the same sharks over and over. Cape Town is well known for Port and Starboard (two Killer whales) I have seen myself in the bay and they love hunting Great white sharks in the area, yet the real killer is always the commercial fishing industries with drag nets. There is no control over how much they take out and collateral damage to other species. Would really love to meet you once Parley is in Cape Town so hope you see this comment. You are such an inspiration.
9:32 poor baby…. I might attack boats also if I’d been scared like that by them and THOSE people 😅 they are just misunderstood puppy dogs (the pitbulls of the sea) 😉 I don’t agree with attracting them in and getting them dependent; but, that is the local livelihood
A much needed “up-lifter” after a hard week. Smiled constantly and cracked up at Colin’s wee slip after his blurb of walking gracefully amongst the kiwis 😂 DAYUM….Ted’s got to step up his game! 🤣👨🏻🍳
I dont think its good that they are feeding the sharks. They’re learning a new behavior that boats and people equal food. We see this in the US with those cleaning fish off docks discarding carcasses and this occurs close enough to public beaches. Sharks now present in areas theyve never been. Sharks actually charging in shallow waters close to the shore . People getting bitten. Not good IMO
I think you should repair it with clear resin so it can be left as a talking point. Or fill it with a colour epoxy and smooth it over leaving the mark. It is now part of Parlay's history which would be great to preserve. Just a suggestion.
Sharks are beautiful and smart creatures Cage diving is unnatural for them and as you said all the boats were chumming. The sharks were expecting food and competition, still nobody was eaten. all the scares you see on the sharks are from the same activity that was done to parlay, testing. (you don't know until you try) glad you went in the water after this experience and showed us the viewer the biggest thing to fear is fear. Those were very big sharks though ha ha ha
As for the chumming, I’m definitely not in favour of that. After living in Brisbane, we had too many people taken by great whites, why get them used to people just for entertainment. You are all real adventurers as well as sailors, and get the most from every port you come into. I have to say I wish I was a lot younger so I could do this as well, so thanks for always showing us all the exciting things at each location. Just a question, I don’t know if you said where Britt is from, but I detect a Canadian accent, or rather a lack of accent.
Nice to see Colin reinforcing his New Zealand foundation exploring and treasuring his homeland as he will know himself better and feel more self confident about where he is from and what that means.
Amazing shots of the great whites. It was like watching shark week again. Love them but wouldn’t test your theory either about humans not being on their menu Colin. I hope Jamie didn’t shit his pants 😂
It is because of people who chum and fishing boats and big fisheries who feed sharks from the boats that are the reason these sharks attack boats...duhhh
True story. I stumbled into a lecture for meteorologists. The speaker said up to three days forecasts are pretty accurate these days. 4-5 days is a 50/50 proposition. Anything over 5 days is a, "Wild Ass Guess". This was a professional talking to professionals.
I don't think you need to hear it from a meteorologist. Anyone who relies on forecasts knows how inaccurate they are. In Australia, they forecast two weeks in advance!
Memorable highlights: Farthest SE of New Zeland Stewart Island, great whites, boat bite, whaling station, beer night, abalone harvesting, kiwi bird(s). Great white get accustomed to feeding. Can the area ssafely upport 6 or more big ones? Do the predators destroy the local habitats or preserve them? Does chumming impact on the local fisheries?
What an awesome video Colin❗️ Thank you for all the effort you put in. Most of the channels have started focusing on their products and other shit. You seem to have remained focused on content, and it shows. God Bless you and the Parlay Crew✝️🙏😇🇺🇲🌎
Do a lot of diving, love sharks, and seeing them in their natural habitat has always been a privilege….but HATE the practice of cage diving, which is basically just associating humans in wetsuits with food….😡😡 (but awesome episode none the less 👍😄)
Amazing episode thanks for sharing. Not sure chumming is a good thing, leads to changed shark behaviour/trouble, but tourism to help protect this important apex predator is helpful…. Double edged sward.
You don’t want to condition sharks to swim with your boat. In the North Atlantic in the Bay of Biscay whales are breaking sailboat rudders. They ram them. Discuss…
You also don't want Great Whites to associate humans with food. It the same reason that National Parks tell people "don't feed the bears". It's not because they don't want bears to eat, it's because they don't want bears to associate people with food and they don't want bears to lose their natural instinct to hunt, aka survive in the wild when no people are around to feed them.
I always wondered why they are called great white sharks, until I saw one broach they really do have very white bellies. That was in the Hauraki gulf too, fished it all my life and never saw a GWS until 3 years ago and saw 4 of them in one summer.
Mixed feelings about the cage boats and white shark tourism. We are separated from all beasts by our ability to think and reason. We advance our civilization through knowledge. The more people that become aware of creatures like the Great White, I think brings about our desire to protect them. When things are localized and we are largely unaware things like seal clubbing, whale fishing, and unrestricted safari hunts go on. On the other side these are God’s creatures and we are given the responsibility to preserve life unless we are threatened so we must be concerned about the welfare of these creatures.
There are definitely more responsible ways to educate people about sharks. You can't really say that Great Whites won't attack people when you are literally feeding them and making them associate people with food. They need to be left alone and allowed to survive the way God intended.
sorry but i could care less about the whalers and conditions ,they did something that other countries still are allowed to do. which i wrong but love the channel and education parley
He needs to hop on one of Captain Paul Watson's Sea Shepherd boats and take a trip on the Southern Ocean with him as the Japanese poach humpback whales. It might change his opinion a bit.
Colin, contact Trevor, NEXT OFFSHORE ADVENTURE, in J-Bay South Africa. He's a lifelong Surfer and Sailor there. He's moved multiple Catamarans from South Africa to the Caribbean. Great wealth of sailing knowledge. OH, you would love surfing J-Bay too. Just watched his channel today from their International Surfing Competition.

As I diver I am not fond of this cage diving practice, well I guess the cage is not the problem, but the chumming.

You don't feed ANY predator (not just sharks...) because not only do they associate divers with food but because of their large size you can easily be bitten or attacked.

It's not about mistaken... wrong place... wrong time... wrong activity... you're on the menu.
The oceanic white tips in egypt like to hang out around the dive boats, too. Guess why.
@@doctordemento965 nice to think youre entitled to be in the ocean..... fun to see youre entitled to safety.... im confused though, why do you think you can enter somones home and act like they have to adjust to your whims..... i would have thrown you out of my window if you acted like that in my home, mind you i live on the 4th floor ;)
Are you sure they were oceanic whitetip and not whitetip reef sharks? Two entirely different species, the oceanic is one of the most dangerous species on the planet.
Or, were you on a caged shark diving tour?
@@slynn5138 you see oceanic white tipps quite regurlarly in egypt ( atleast diving in ephilstone and the brothers).
Oh and no cage, of course.
Fascinating episode!
Thanks for watching Mary!
Congratulations! You did it!! The adventures just keep getting better and better!! See ya next week!
Thanks so much!
Really Great underwater footage of the Great White Sharks swimming around Parlay!
Thanks!

Would be so cool to reunite with our South African friends 🙌🏼

Absolutely stunning creatures
Thanks for watching mate
I’m watching SGP at New York while catching up on some great white sightseeing with “sailing parlay” today!!!
Woohoo 🙌🏼
I´ve drunk there bought a lobster fisher a handle, he threw ashore a bag of lobsters when I was staying at the Edmond Hillary hut up north on the island. Great pub
I can't believe with all the horror stories and damaged rudders, that you guys would subject your boat to such risks.
Love this episode! Thanks Colin and crew! XO
Such a cool experience.
Thank you for sharing!
They do the same thing here in Florida. They feed and swim with the sharks. Now they have learned the sound of boat motors means food. I spearfish and fish a lot and we have a huge problem with them here.
Thanks for sharing mate! Definitely a tough one
That's awesome to be so close to an Apex predator.
I made contact with New Zealand from the coast of Maine two days ago on my HF radio!! Wonderful people there💯❤️
That's 9124 miles across the US and the pacific to make contact all on a little radio!
The best!
Fantastic….new subscriber!! ❤
Very exciting!
I saw tigers in the wild in 2009. Nothing like seeing an apex predator in the wild.
It’s pretty crazy!

Chumming sharks for cage diving is a DISGUSTING business ❗️They did it here in Florida until the sharks started attacking people, then outlawed it.
I agree.
Calm your tits down..
Where in Florida did they use to shark cage and for what sharks? Great whites?

And my alltime favorite vacation was Tortola where I promised my wife this isn't a surf trip. We booked a week at The Sugar Mill. I had no surfboard and we arrived the night Trump won the 2016 election. I go to have breakfast and see The Bomba Shack is firing and my wife let me rent a board. I ran into a New Yorker with a long lens and asked him to shoot me because I rip! lol He did and I have pro shots of me ripping The Bomba Shack on a Chinese NSP 6" 2 with catamarans in the background. They are the only surf photos I have of myself and I put them on aluminum and have a 4 photo sequence of me gouging the bomba shack.
LOL
I don't understand that inlet. Why don't they expand it by another 3 or 4 meters and dredge it? Seems pretty dangerous even for smaller boats.
WOW
Thanks for watching!
"You got nothing to worry about" says the guy wearing camouflage. Coming from a place were everyone hunts, I'd be worried.
We were very worried 😅
Thats the stuff of nightmares... /Catta from Sweden
Thanks for watching!
They didnt get scarred up like that from being- passive.
Basis da India! When you head to Africa.
Sounds good 😊
I think that putting in chum and looking the sharks is silly but people will to do what will pay them.
Check it out if you come past South Africa..😅😮
My opinion, I lived in Hawaii for 8 yrs…in peace. I look at the shark issues in the Bahamas, where just about every anchor, the sharks come rocking up because of people feeding sharks with their catch. There were a lot of attacks this year. It’s not nature to chum sharks. “Conditioned response” is a man-made problem that will affect generations of ocean travelers to come. Not a fan of chumming for tourism. Just my opinion. On a lighter note, big congrats on the journey south man. What a great team❤❤
Just like leaving food at camp in Yellowstone and being surprised the grizzly bears attack..same here.
Training them to associate boats with food is crazy.
Its why they are so scarred up on their noses. all of them.
@@MizzAugust7the scars have nothing to do with the cages, they attack seals for a living in the shallows bouncing off barnacled rocks all the time. The cages are designed not to hurt the sharks if they bump into them
The cuts and scars on the noses of the great whites give us a glimpse into character and life of these beautiful fish. Thanks for the “great” footage!
It’s crazy aye!
I would say that damage was from the cages as you can see the lines of the cage on their snouts.
@@petermcgreevy6386 or from breaking loose/hunting the abalone???
Great to see Katie and Brittany leading the narrative for a bit. Would be great to see more of that.
Thanks for the positive feedback Steve! The girls will love hearing that
Had the same thought. Keep adventuring!
Jamie is allright at it too. Bit of a character😆⭐️
South Africa incoming ... whooo whooo would LOVE to see Parlay docked here, and meet you all one day! Happy to be your local tour guide 😊🙏
Great shark encounter - makes me think of the terrifying boat attacks around Portugal and Spain; hell no thanks!!
That small bite in your boat hull will be a solid reminder not to mess with them gnarly ragged toothed bad boys! They even look like beat up street fighters 😅😂
They sure do look so beat up! So much respect for these animals though. Hopefully we meet you in SA one day 😊
Man what incredible footage. You guys knock it out of the park! Parley crew is just so inspiring, you show such amazing and unique adventures that this beautiful world has to offer. Thanks for bringing such amazement every week. Top notch.
Thanks so much!!
Well, one thing about being 2-3 miles from where you saw the great whites, is the shark cage boats are chumming, so there are less likely to be sharks where you are diving because you are not chumming. At least one could hope. You are right, sharks don't eat humans because humans taste YUCKY! LMAO! Seriously though, our blood has too much iron in it which makes us smell bad and taste bad to sharks. The problem with the sharks where you are is that they are used to humans and boats and see them as food sources, therefore it could make them more likely to attack humans even if they don't eat them. I would think though, they are probably hanging out over where they get chummed more.
I don't think it is a good idea to chum sharks for cage diving. Frankly, it isn't a good idea to feed wild animals period. It teaches them bad habits and can make them dependent on humans, and in this case, it could turn really bad, because they are used to humans and boats and are not afraid of them.
Awesome episode guys! The quickest 25 minutes ever! Gotta rematch now!
Such a crazy episode aye Chose!
Holy socks that shark was a big bastard. 😬 Chage diving? Nooo thank you.
I just named one of my boàts Parley Wannabe!!!!!! Thanks heaps Collin 😊 You guys Rock ❤ Just a old dude from Pender Harbour BC ☮️😎👍🇨🇦
Thanks Tom! Hope to catch you guys out on the water some day!
Wow, calm seas AND once in a lifetime encounters.. totally understand the pride you have in New Zealand,, such a breathtaking one of a kind place on this big blue ball.. bravo one and all 🍻 CHEERS PARLAY
Cheers Bill 🍻 appreciate you watching
Hi @Colin, Big lover of your channel.
I'm from South Africa and a dive instructor in Cape Town, so when you do the Cape of Good Hope trip it would be absolutely epic to take you and your team for a dive in the Cape Town kelp forests.
I was also very conflicted about the shark cage diving industry but after chatting to many experts in the industry and the studies done it is refreshing to know the sharks don't associate food with people and the boats. In Gansbaai, we have many studies done revealing that its always new sharks that come past and not the same sharks over and over.
Cape Town is well known for Port and Starboard (two Killer whales) I have seen myself in the bay and they love hunting Great white sharks in the area, yet the real killer is always the commercial fishing industries with drag nets. There is no control over how much they take out and collateral damage to other species.
Would really love to meet you once Parley is in Cape Town so hope you see this comment. You are such an inspiration.
Thanks for sharing Phillip! We’d love to meet you when / if we end up going around Cape of Good Hope 😊
@@ParlayRevival It would be an absolute pleasure to meet and host you guys. Fingers crossed
Great whites could be my favorite shark. Fishing around San Francisco bay and ocean never seen one yet. But keep looking. The red triangle.
New Zealand is so beautiful but dangerous. I can see why so many good sailors come from there. They deserve their bragging rights!
They say if you can sail around NZ you can sail anywhere and I see exactly why they say that now!
Humans SHOULD NOT be doing that. Sharks then associate people with food. Meat is meat to a shark.
9:32 poor baby…. I might attack boats also if I’d been scared like that by them and THOSE people 😅 they are just misunderstood puppy dogs (the pitbulls of the sea) 😉 I don’t agree with attracting them in and getting them dependent; but, that is the local livelihood
I do NOT agree with feeding sharks for entertainment. This practice should be prohibited.
"Be very quiet and graceful" 14:43 LOL
😂
A much needed “up-lifter” after a hard week. Smiled constantly and cracked up at Colin’s wee slip after his blurb of walking gracefully amongst the kiwis 😂
DAYUM….Ted’s got to step up his game! 🤣👨🏻🍳
We miss you Marcie!
Love fresh abalone!
@@ParlayRevival
200mph+ hurricane 1/2 the size of the USA in Antarctica will hit all countries.
Look into it.
I dont think its good that they are feeding the sharks. They’re learning a new behavior that boats and people equal food. We see this in the US with those cleaning fish off docks discarding carcasses and this occurs close enough to public beaches. Sharks now present in areas theyve never been. Sharks actually charging in shallow waters close to the shore . People getting bitten. Not good IMO
I think you should repair it with clear resin so it can be left as a talking point. Or fill it with a colour epoxy and smooth it over leaving the mark. It is now part of Parlay's history which would be great to preserve. Just a suggestion.
I Ike the way you think.
Definitely will be keeping it 🤙🏼
Sharks are beautiful and smart creatures Cage diving is unnatural for them and as you said all the boats were chumming. The sharks were expecting food and competition, still nobody was eaten. all the scares you see on the sharks are from the same activity that was done to parlay, testing. (you don't know until you try) glad you went in the water after this experience and showed us the viewer the biggest thing to fear is fear. Those were very big sharks though ha ha ha
5 white pointers around the boat.....gonna need a new set of undies
😂
WELL WORTH THE WAIT! Great episode. Can't wait for next week. Again.
Thanks!
If I was there i 'd have watched too but I definitely don't agree with feeding them.....and I'd have kept well away from the side of the boat.
As for the chumming, I’m definitely not in favour of that. After living in Brisbane, we had too many people taken by great whites, why get them used to people just for entertainment.
You are all real adventurers as well as sailors, and get the most from every port you come into. I have to say I wish I was a lot younger so I could do this as well, so thanks for always showing us all the exciting things at each location.
Just a question, I don’t know if you said where Britt is from, but I detect a Canadian accent, or rather a lack of accent.
Britt’s Canadian!
@@ParlayRevival Thanks for replying, you go girl🇨🇦
Nice to see Colin reinforcing his New Zealand foundation exploring and treasuring his homeland as he will know himself better and feel more self confident about where he is from and what that means.
Amazing shots of the great whites. It was like watching shark week again. Love them but wouldn’t test your theory either about humans not being on their menu Colin. I hope Jamie didn’t shit his pants 😂
Haha we’re pretty sure he did 😂
It is because of people who chum and fishing boats and big fisheries who feed sharks from the boats that are the reason these sharks attack boats...duhhh
Great whites, kiwis, and Paua on the same episode! Well worth the wait. Keep up the adventures!
Thanks for spelling it out- only have Conch in Fla, I though they were saying- Powa
Thanks Tom 🙏🏼
True story. I stumbled into a lecture for meteorologists. The speaker said up to three days forecasts are pretty accurate these days. 4-5 days is a 50/50 proposition. Anything over 5 days is a, "Wild Ass Guess". This was a professional talking to professionals.
I don't think you need to hear it from a meteorologist. Anyone who relies on forecasts knows how inaccurate they are. In Australia, they forecast two weeks in advance!
Haha we say 50/50 onboard a lot.
Mother Nature sometimes has a mind of her own but yes we trust the forecasts up to three days too
@@ParlayRevival have you guys blocked me from commenting? I only ask because they are either being removed or not being recorded.
Memorable highlights: Farthest SE of New Zeland Stewart Island, great whites, boat bite, whaling station, beer night, abalone harvesting, kiwi bird(s).
Great white get accustomed to feeding. Can the area ssafely upport 6 or more big ones? Do the predators destroy the local habitats or preserve them? Does chumming impact on the local fisheries?
Those sharks have some serious scars
Poor things
Right!?
One more consideration about rounding the tip. Traffic of freighters has increased due to ... So, watch the shipping traffic and ask for local info.
What an awesome video Colin❗️ Thank you for all the effort you put in. Most of the channels have started focusing on their products and other shit. You seem to have remained focused on content, and it shows.
God Bless you and the Parlay Crew✝️🙏😇🇺🇲🌎
Do a lot of diving, love sharks, and seeing them in their natural habitat has always been a privilege….but HATE the practice of cage diving, which is basically just associating humans in wetsuits with food….😡😡 (but awesome episode none the less 👍😄)
Appreciate the input Brett and thanks for watching 🙏🏼
Amazing episode thanks for sharing. Not sure chumming is a good thing, leads to changed shark behaviour/trouble, but tourism to help protect this important apex predator is helpful…. Double edged sward.
Indeed, thanks for sharing!
You don’t want to condition sharks to swim with your boat. In the North Atlantic in the Bay of Biscay whales are breaking sailboat rudders. They ram them.
Discuss…
You also don't want Great Whites to associate humans with food. It the same reason that National Parks tell people "don't feed the bears". It's not because they don't want bears to eat, it's because they don't want bears to associate people with food and they don't want bears to lose their natural instinct to hunt, aka survive in the wild when no people are around to feed them.
Why would RUclips unsubscribe me from this channel??
A few people have been saying that with RUclips in general. No sure why it’s happening
I'm glad I was already on the toilet during the shark part of this video 😂
😂😂😂😂
😂
I always wondered why they are called great white sharks, until I saw one broach they really do have very white bellies. That was in the Hauraki gulf too, fished it all my life and never saw a GWS until 3 years ago and saw 4 of them in one summer.
They are pretty incredible creatures
Mixed feelings about the cage boats and white shark tourism. We are separated from all beasts by our ability to think and reason. We advance our civilization through knowledge. The more people that become aware of creatures like the Great White, I think brings about our desire to protect them. When things are localized and we are largely unaware things like seal clubbing, whale fishing, and unrestricted safari hunts go on. On the other side these are God’s creatures and we are given the responsibility to preserve life unless we are threatened so we must be concerned about the welfare of these creatures.
There are definitely more responsible ways to educate people about sharks. You can't really say that Great Whites won't attack people when you are literally feeding them and making them associate people with food. They need to be left alone and allowed to survive the way God intended.
Great episode- love the kiwi- nope I’m not swimming anywhere there (same in Tasmania- GWs there a plenty)
We loved the kiwi too!
@5:00 Look at it this way Jamie, if a shark does bit you it won't make it through all of that. You'll be fine... ;)
😂
What brand and model are Jamies sunglasses, they are dope...like to have same if he does not mid someone in Croatia wear's same as him!! 😅😅😅
Haha they’re bollé
Random question but where is your woollen jumper from Colin?
The warehouse! Super cheap and lots of people have asked 😅
Is the shelled animal that you ate much like an Abalone (gastropod mollusk), or is it from another family, and does it taste like an abalone?
Same as abalone
NEW INTRO...FASTEST LAGOON ON THE PLANET THAT GOT BIT BY A WHITE SHARK...............❤
Haha I like it
I will be waiting in Cape town south Africa 🇿🇦 be safe 🙏
Thanks 🙏🏼
But the Carey’s Bay Historic Hotel is an awesome spot for lunch
🙌🏼
sorry but i could care less about the whalers and conditions ,they did something that other countries still are allowed to do. which i wrong but love the channel and education parley
He needs to hop on one of Captain Paul Watson's Sea Shepherd boats and take a trip on the Southern Ocean with him as the Japanese poach humpback whales. It might change his opinion a bit.
Delos did cape of good hope..if they can,,you can...all about the weather window
🙏🏼
Colin, contact Trevor, NEXT OFFSHORE ADVENTURE, in J-Bay South Africa. He's a lifelong Surfer and Sailor there. He's moved multiple Catamarans from South Africa to the Caribbean. Great wealth of sailing knowledge.
OH, you would love surfing J-Bay too. Just watched his channel today from their International Surfing Competition.
Scroll back a couple years and we were buddy boats with Trev and Kerry! Great people.
@@ParlayRevival Sorry, that's right. Forgot.
Yes, off Panama...west coast.
Okay captain that mosquito kill is a once in a lifetime just like the shark bite on your Stern
That’s for sure
Jamie is hilarious and it seems he does not even try to be funny!!!!
Those sharks have some pretty nasty marks on their noses. Never come across one in the wild. Scary.
A pretty wild experience for sure
Don’t feed the bears!🐻
