Its really hard to believe almost two years have gone by since sailing into Cairns, Australia from the Solomons. Apart from a 4 month break where each of us went to our respective corners of the world, we have lived, worked and traveled this amazing country the entire time. View More
Don’t get me wrong, we’re not absolute lushes but Delos does enjoy our daily sundowner, or two, or three… We were provisioning in Cairns to take us to Darwin, a trip of about a month in length and did the calculation. Alcohol here in Australia is stupidly expensive. View More
Even though we had to wait a few extra days for “The Beast” ( Maggie, our new dinghy) to arrive, Cairns kept us busy before we started sailing north. View More
It’s one of those wonderful brightly lit nights where the full moon dances on the wave tops and you can see the entire horizon even though it’s well past midnight. View More
We left Cape York and Queensland behind and are right smack in the middle of the Gulf of Carpentaria! It’s a 350 mile crossing and we hope to make landfall in Gove, Northern Territory tomorrow afternoon. View More
We have some big news; Delos has a new addition in the family! I know what your thinking and NO! Nobody is pregnant! Meet Maggie. She weighs 75 kg, is beautiful and shiny, and laughs at the thought of carrying 10 people or the sight of a rocky beach… We just got new dinghy! View More
Just an hours drive outside of Cairns is the beautiful Daintree National park; there is a welcome center here and a walk that leads up into the amazing tropical forest. View More
Its really nice to start a new adventure in the same place where we left our last one… A year and a half ago, we ended our south pacific journey in the backpacker city of Cairns, Australia. It was the finish line after a pretty epic adventure. View More
How did I end up here? Random coincidence or destiny? By Karin
There are several choices that have created shifts in my life and a few that stand out above the rest. View More
It seems like the universal Karmic scales have balanced for Delos, giving back in spirit what was taken from us last season. View More
Apparently there’s this thing out there called The Facebook and The Twitter and it seems to be catching on. We’ve given into social anti-social pressure and created a new position called “Social Media Deck Hand” AKA JosjeRama. View More
I have been back on Delos for 12 days now. It truly feels like I never left. Its hard to believe that the last time I was here was over a year ago. View More
Getting off the dock is the first step and sometimes you just have to unhook that umbilical cord that delivers unlimited power and water and just do it. Just get off the dock and see what happens. View More
When we pulled Delos into the Bundaberg Port Marina last February there was a lot of uncertainty in my life. I honestly had no idea if this would be our last adventure together, or if by some lucky stroke of the stars I’d be allowed to continue on. View More
Wow, if you asked me where I’d be living 4 years ago I’d never, ever have guessed Melbourne (pronounced Melbin’). But yet here I am living on the South coast in the Land Down Under. I’m only 300 miles from Tasmania! Life’s strange like that. View More
As I sit here writing this it’s been just over 9 months since we cast off the dock lines in New Zealand and headed back to the islands. 9 Months! It seems like just a few weeks ago we set sail for Fiji. View More
We left Ghizo, Solomon Islands with a forecast for light and variable winds and were prepared to motor for a day or so looking for breeze. Fortunately the passage gods smiled and gave us 5-10 knots right out of the reef. View More
Delos is currently 640 miles from Cairns, Australia! She is sailing at an impressive 7.5 knots with 17 knots of breeze on the beam. At this rate we should make landfall sometime on Monday! View More
