Capturing Castelhanos the WILD SIDE of Ilha Bela- Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 172

Brazil Sailing Videos

Team edit with Leeesir, Killa Kiril, and Capt. Breeyawn! It’s a great mix of personality and beautiful nature! We kick off by celebrating Leesir’s birthday. She wanted to go hiking, but the weather wasn’t cooperating. YEAH says Lizbef 🙂 We end up having a party on Delos instead with lot’s of caipirinha’s followed by a Japanese inspired cooking marathon. YEAH says everyone 🙂 Up next we jump in a Jeep and take a 4×4 trail to the wild side of Ilha Bela, Castelhanos beach, where we encounter the raw beauty of the island and also the largest waterfall, over 70M (200 ft) high! Pretty soon it’s time to set sail for our next destination, so Capt. Breeyawn heads to the local marine store to sort out some parts, where he gets to practice his Portuguese skills with some success.

We’re gonna get you VERRRYYY DRUUNNKK! Sailing Vessel Delos Ep.171

Brazil Sailing Videos

Brazilian CHURRASCO TIME!!! :). We decide to sail Delos to the other side of Ilha Bela, to some cruising grounds that look really sweet on the chart. At our first stop we get eaten alive by man-eating flies known locally as Borrachudos! We flee to another anchorage and take some time to reflect on what it means to live and work on a sailboat. We get an awesome message from some locals that want to host us for our very first Brazilian Churrasco! Not knowing what is in store for us we arrive to find a fridge full of steaks, cold bear, and we proceed to have one hell of a party. Thanks guys!

Bikinis and waterfalls in Brazil!! Yep we promised so here you go 🙂 He He! But before we head into the Brazilian jungle to seek out waterfalls…. Our new amigo Felipe drives us to the mainland to attempt checking in. It takes all day to navigate the Federal Police, Customs, and Navy offices but we finally are legally in Brazil with Delos! We get to experience our first Coxinhas and Brazilian street food which is frickin’ delicious. During our after passage clean Mr. Brady “solves” the mystery of the missing voice recorder. Nice try Mr. Brady but we were ahead of you every step of the way 🙂

Ever wondered how it feels to breath under water for the first time?? In this episode Lisa and Liz get to experience just this feeling, as Mr. Brady teaches them how to scuba dive… Delos Style 🙂 A lot of personality and goodness in this episode as Brian rallies the troops to clean the filth off Delos and we struggle to go ashore as the swell has gotten huge in the last 2 days just as we are preparing to leave for Brazil!

Stay Calm, Breathe Deep, Face the shark- Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 162

Sailing Videos South Atlantic

Secret dive spot? Possible shark encounter? Yep! We’re in 🙂 After hearing about a secret dive spot on the other side of Ascension Island we pull up the hook and take Delos out for an exploratory dive mission. We end up at a place called Bird Island by the locals, and for very good reason. Pretty soon we find ourselves anchored in one of the most incredibley beautiful places we have ever been. And right on top of a Galapagos shark nursery! How cool is that? We spend the day doing dive after dive, checking out the underwater wonderland. Really hope you enjoy this video and if you do be sure to LIKE it and SHARE IT with a friend. Fair Winds, Peace, and Love from Brian, Karin, Brady, Alex, and Lisa

The heart of Ascension Island – Sailing Vessel Delos Ep.161

Sailing Videos South Atlantic

Ascension Island has an amazing local population from so many cultures! The fact that there’s a US Air force base means they know how to celebrate the 4th of July pretty well! The day after the party we head out on a local boat to join a fishing competition… The only problem? After trolling for 5 hours It seemed there weren’t many fish in this world class fishing destination. We sat down with Craig and Ellen to ask them some questions about how, and maybe why, the oceans around Ascension island are in trouble.

Hello Tribe!!! This is a really fun one 🙂 I had an absolute blast editing it! So in a nutshell… We arrive to find Ascension nearly deserted. After checking into the island Liz spots a boy and goes berserk. Being good wing-men Brady and I lure him to the US Air Force base for a drink. And to know the rest of the story you have to watch the video 🙂

Oh yeah- we have a crazy encounter with a Galapagos Shark while scuba diving. Pretty intense experience but all ends well. Fair Winds, peace,a nd love from Capt. Breeyawn, Kazzatron, Mr. Brady, and Alexandra Azul.

Sailors Nightmare – Our toilet EXPLODES! – Sailing Vessel Delos Ep.157

Sailing Videos South Atlantic

Fair warning here- this episode contains scenes of our toilet basically exploding. There is poop flying all over the place. And a bit of cursing… If you are really sensative about this sort of thing consider yourself warned! It’s a true Sailor’s NIGHTMARE!

Our toilet stops flushing and during the troubleshooting process we end up with about 20 liters of PURE FECES straight into our head 🙁 Of course Capt. Breeyawn is on the case to sort it out. I’ve never seen anything like it! Hope you find it as amusing as we did, re-watching this disaster..hehe. Much Love! Kazza and the crew

Just hanging out in St. Helena. Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 156

Sailing Videos South Atlantic

So is this where you guys come to hang out?!?!? Ha Ha you’ll see 🙂 This is a great one guys! In a nut shell Brady and I almost destroy ourselves acting like silly boys playing in massive waves, I lose our beloved Mavic Drone trying to film an old volcanic magma dyke, and we have a funny misunderstanding of words with the locals… Good stuff, hope you have as much fun watching as we did editing.
Fair Winds, peace and love from Delos to you! Brian, Brady, and Karin

Hey Babe you wanna go for a ride?!?! Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 155

Sailing Videos South Atlantic

We get our hands on a couple of rent-a-dent cars for 12 pounds a day and begin our land exploration of St. Helena! Amongst the wickedly steep one lane roads we explore the vacant St. Helena Airport, a fort at the top of the island, have a crazy Chinese/English fusion Karaoke night, go for an incredible dive with Manta rays, and then mix a custom version of Ramukanji on an antique organ in the biggest church in town. Totally cool! Much peace and love from Delos to you!

Working remotely while Sailing with Saltbreaker – Interview With a Cruiser – Sailing Vessel Delos

Cruiser Interviews Extras

Questions with timestamps below guys 🙂 Two brothers decide to put normal working life aside and follow their dreams of sailing around the world! Sounds familiar?!?!?! They bought a Valiant 32, fixed her up, and paid for the trip by working as they go on random technical jobs using satellite internet. Add Windows 365 software in there and anyone who works remotely like these guys is going to have the full package! These guys are the real deal and some of the most interesting people we’ve met out sailing. Totally cool, young cruisers with the right mindset. Glad we got to hang out with you guys 🙂 XXOO The Delos Crew

Trends in Modern Yacht Design- Interview with a Naval Architect- Sailing Vessel Delos

Extras Sailing Extras

Hey Tribe! We know you LOVE the technical side of sailing so we put together this special interview with a naval architect. Kiril did an awesome job filming and editing this together, and we sure hope you learn as much as we did!

Olivier Racoupeau is a naval architect and has designed cruising yachts for Amel, Wauquiez, Garcia, Beneteau, Fountaine Pajot, and many other custom projects. A few months ago while we were in La Rochelle the team at Amel asked if we would like to interview Olivier, who is responsible for the design of the Amel 55, 64, and the new 50 foot sloop that was just launched. We pretty much jumped at the chance to pick his brain about the differences between modern cruising yachts and those from Delos’s era.

Modern yachts are obviously full of exciting new tech that wasn’t even available 5 years ago let alone 20 years ago, so they’re really something to behold. Besides all of the technology that helps with navigation, the living quarters now look like they’ve come straight out of an interior design magazine. Sleek and timeless with beautiful neon lighting similar to those found on brands like Neon Filter that nobody could have dreamed of in recent history make these modern yachts well worth a look, even if you’re unfamiliar with the yachting world!

We learned a lot and hope you do as well! Peace, Love, and Fair Winds from Brian, Karin, and Brady.
