Nope Nothing To See Here

Dear Patrons! 

If you’ve followed our progress on the Svalbard Episodes you probably know we’ve been working our butts of in post-production, and we’re ready for our first developmental screening!!! We’ve created a 3 part mini series that covers our month in Svalbard. As Patrons we want you to be the first to see it!  A developmental screening gives us a chance to show this production to YOU, and get YOUR feedback before we make the final touches. 

When:  Saturday, August 31st 2019 16:00 – 18:30 

Where: Folkets Hus, Skärgårdsvägen 7 Gustavsberg, Stockholm, Sweden (1km / 10 min walk from the boat show)

Agenda:   The first part will be a presentation about the trip with stories told by Capt. Brian, and 59 North Sailing (Andy and Mia).  Following that we’ll show Part 1 of the 3 part series. Afterwards we’ll find a place to share a beer and talk sailing!

Register: There is a limited number of seats, so please RSVP if you plan on attending!  To book your space please SWISH 100 SEK  (9.3 Euro) per person to number 123 653 66 76 (Rutgerson Marine) . IMPORTANT: Write your email address as the SWISH message.  This will be used to confirm your place.  

After the screening, we will provide a short survey so you can provide your feedback.

FAQ: 

• I don’t have SWISH, how do I pay? Send an email to [email protected] and give your name and how many you’d like to register and they will help you with an alternative way to pay. OR head to https://www.getswish.se/private/get-started-with-swish/
• Who will be there from Delos?  Capt. Brian will be there to tell a few stories and do the screening.  Karin and Sierra might be there, but not sure yet.  Sierra is only a few weeks old!
• Will you do the same thing in the US at the Annapolis Boat Show? Please write a comment below, if there is enough interest we will try to organize it!

If you are in the US, and would like to attend a similar event during the Annapolis Boat Show please leave us a message below.  If there is enough interest we will try to put something together.

We are so excited to show you what we’ve been working on!  

Much Love, The Crew

Hello everybody, Capt. Brian here with a little update.  Yesterday morning at high tide Brady, Alex, and the new crew slipped the dock lines and motored out into the Atlantic Ocean.  If you want to keep track of their progress real time I’ve posted it at svdelos.com where you can see current position, notes from the crew, and weather also courtesy of Predict Wind.

Yesterday someone asked me if I was a little nervous, after all this is the first time that Delos has gone anywhere without me onboard.  Brady and I have sailed across three oceans together, some more than once.  We’ve actually logged just over 75,000NM at this point which is the equivalent of three times around the world at the equator.  He’s been with me every step of the way and we’ve actually learned how to cruise and sail long distances together.  I know he has the experience and knowledge to safely navigate Delos.  So no, I am not really nervous in that aspect.  The crew and boat are solid.  

At the moment however I can’t help but to feel a touch of envy.  I know that Karin and I are exactly where we are supposed to be right now, we’re settled in a little apartment in Visby, Gotland, and Karin’s mom has even loaned us a car.  I bought a 2nd monitor and now have dual-displays which has increased my editing productivity like crazy.  We’ve been going to doctors appointments and all with the baby is happy and healthy!  Due date is July 28th 🙂  And yet I still find myself feeling a bit envious that Delos has left port without us onboard, headed over the horizon and onto new adventures.  I know Karin and I are on a completely new adventure in itself, but the pull of the open ocean is very strong my friends!

Karin and I would like to do a live Q&A to fill you in on what’s going on, our plans for the future, and of course answer any sailing questions you may have.  We will post something on this when we figure out a good time.

Fair winds, Peace and Love from Brian and Kazza in Sweden
