The time had finally come to make a choice that had been weighing on us for a while. When we left the build months ago, the plan was simple: sail Delos to Fiji and leave her there while we carried on with the project. But once we actually made it here, another idea started creeping in—what if we kept going all the way to Australia, closing out this chapter on Delos once and for all and allowing us to focus ourselves 100 percent on the build. Both paths had their pros and cons, and we went back and forth more times than we can count. In the end though, we landed on a decision that felt right. But that wasn’t the only thing on our minds…The generator saga was still in full swing. After days upon days spent in the […]

Buckle up for this week’s episode it’s a doozie! The title of the video pretty much says it all, and yes it was as bad as it sounds..our generator had been out of action and when I dug in to see what was going on I was absolutely shocked at what I found. This turns into quite the project, and it definitely required me to channel my absolute highest levels of MacGyver instincts, and the help of a very skilled local welder. But luckily, despite all the long sweaty days in engine room, the marina we were staying at is AMAZING and a dip in the pool combined with a frosty brew and a juicy burger and we had everything we needed to power through!   Get behind the scenes with exclusive bonus content, early & ad free videos, meet […]

Ahoy Delos Tribe, we’ve got a pretty, ummmm….interesting video for you today 😂 The time has finally come to sail from Tonga to Fiji, and it was time to bring in the big guns. Our very own VIP crew member, the one, the only…DAN THE MAN! It was soooo freaking cool to be able to show Dan our world. After a year in Australia with him giving his whole heart and soul to the build and teaching us everything he can about welding, it felt great to be able to give him a taste of what we’re working towards. But in true Delos fashion, this would not be a boring passage, and Dan definitely got a taste of the kinds of curve balls that the ocean can throw your way. We hope you enjoy this passage as much as we […]

For those of you who have been missing the build videos, we’ve got the next best thing….endless boat work 🤣 The biggest difference of course being that instead of a fully equipped workshop and every tool and part that I need, out here we have to get a bit more creative with our solutions. We also give you our first glimpse into what has been a new world for all of us, Sierra has started home schooling! It’s definitely been a new type of challenge for us, but also lots of fun, and it’s such a joy to see her grow and develop. So between the boat work, the home schooling, and of course you have to throw in some bad weather because…well, boat life… and we’ve got our work cut out for us in this week’s episode! We hope […]

We’re back into cruiser mode in full force, and it feels fantastic! And of all places to ease back into the life, Tonga is a pretty great one. There are tons of anchorages to choose from, and because there are so many small islands everywhere to protect from wind and swell in every direction, it’s like anchoring in a swimming pool. We also have some very cool updates to share from the build with everything Dan and the team has been up to while we were away so far. […]

We’ve got a doozie of an episode for you this week! After a very challenging 8 days at sea, we had finally made it to the calm and crystal clear waters of Niue, a literal rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. We were suuuper excited not just to explore this very unique part of the world, but also to get some good nights of sleep and recuperate a bit…we were a bit rusty after all since our long stint on land, and this last passage had hit us pretty hard. But only about 24 hours after arriving, as Mother Nature has a tendency to do, everything changed completely, and we found ourselves faced with a VERY tough decision…Neither option was good, but the stakes were high and we knew we needed to get this one right. In this […]

She’s ready and rarin’ to go, but we on the other hand are still brushing off the cobwebs 😂 But we manage to make the best of it, and after some princess dance parties, some very rowdy fishing, and a casual stop over at one of the most pristine and remote reefs in the world, I’d say it’s fair to call this passage a win despite the absolutely BRUTAL rolling. For those of you that have been excited to get back into the […]
