Our Sail Just Got 10 TIMES Longer 😳 Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 457
Be the first to comment!
It’s crazy how fast plans can change on the open ocean 🤯 The only constant in a sailor’s life is change, and today we found this to be as true as ever. After spending months in the safety of the Marquesas Islands of French Polynesia waiting for the cyclone season to pass, we were finally ready to get on the move again. Our plan was to make one last stop in Fatu Hiva which was only about 40 miles away. But once we got out underway, our plans quickly changed from a 40 mile day sail to a 400 mile open ocean crossing!

Would You Sail Away? (Hit By Our Neighbor 😳) Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 455
Well, there’s a first time for everything! After well over a decade of sailing around the world and dropping our hook in all kinds of different places, we found ourselves in a rather unique position that we never expected to deal with. It takes a lot to get me riled up, but this did the trick. But luckily one of the best parts about sailing is that you get to choose your own backyard, so when the neighbors are rubbing you the wrong way, just pack up and head off to the next one!

We Make MISTAKES…THIS Isn’t One Of Them. Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 454
We’ve made all kinds of blunders over the years…Plenty of moments spring to mind from sailing at full speed right into a reef, running aground more times than we can even keep track of, and so many others…some comical, some truly stupid, some a bit scary…but a few months ago when we decided to make that awful upwind sail from The Tuamotus back to the Marquesas Islands to avoid cyclone season, we’re happy to report now that all of our suffering turned out to be worth it, as two big swirling red balls were now filling up our screen when we checked the weather forecast. It had been a longggg few months here too, and honestly it has been one of the tougher times we’ve had on Delos in a while. The Marquesas Islands are such a special place in […]

LOST TOOTH 🦷 (A Very Rough Sail)…Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 453
We get absolutely ROCKED out there 😳 We just arrived back to French Polynesia, and we were ready to make some moves to a more protected anchorage…but the forecast was not in favor. And after days of waiting around, we decided to brave the ROUGH conditions and trade one day of suffering in exchange for a peaceful anchorage and a good night’s sleep. We bashed straight into massive waves, strong headwinds, and current for hours…and all three of us were on the struggle bus. It was every bit as gnarly as we had expected, and was definitely one of our more miserable sails we’ve had in recent memory. But once we made it to our spiffy new backyard it was totally worth it! And that’s when things start to get realllllllly interesting…I really can’t even describe to you our DIY […]
