Nope Nothing To See Here

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

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!

Exploring BRAZIL! Waterfalls, bikinis and beaches! Sailing Vessel Delos Ep.170

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 🙂

Welcome to BRAZIL!!!! We Crossed the ATLANTIC!!!! Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 169

After 15 days and 2,240 miles at sea the crew spots the coast of BRAZIL!!! We’re a little shell shocked as we go from nothing but the deep blue to boats, houses, and the smells of the jungle coming off the island. Spirits are high and we decide to start taking shots to celebrate a successful passage, which of course turns into a crazy arrival dance party for the crew. The next day we wake up a little hung over and Brian cooks our arrival breaky of pancakes and bacon. (more…)

Nana Mo’s Excellent Adventure on Delos – By Maureen

Ever since I left Delos in Grenada 4 days ago, I haven’t been able to focus on anything but the memories of that incredible experience.

I discovered Delos on YouTube last year while day dreaming about sailing away to exotic places. I was drawn in immediately and it didn’t take long for my husband Colin to become addicted too.

The ATLANTIC ocean, 6 sailors and some cameras! Sailing Vessel Delos Ep.167

Part 3 of our Atlantic Crossing!! Want to know what its like after 12 days at sea? Yea, you start to go a bit crazy to say the least. In this episode we get “creative” on how we stay occupied while at sea…. We film our own version of MTV Cribs, talk about how far we have come as a crew and fix Delos as the sea takes its toll. Much Love Tribe! (more…)

One Year on Delos – by Alex Blue

It is March 30th, 2018 and exactly one year ago I was on a flight half way across the world from my home state of California towards Cape Town, South Africa. The year since then has surely been one of the most challenging and therefore beautiful of my life. For months, I have been contemplating about how to write down what it has meant to me- a grand summation of all I have learned about the earth and myself… but every time I begin brainstorming, my mind gets lost folding into a million different thought patterns. So, in this final moment and in true Delos style, a few rums deep, I will do my best to make it short and sweet.

Open Ocean Sailing!! Whats our FAVORITE part? Sailing Vessel Delos Ep.166

After the first 3 days at sea the crew start coming to life and really focus on why long ocean passages are so good for the soul! We have absolutely no interaction with any other people so our bond as a family grows super strong  We are only a small fraction of the way to BRAZIL!

Hand Steering to the Southern Cross! Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 165

Our last morning at Ascension Island has us reminiscing about all of our incredible memories that were made in the middle of the ocean. But as we sail off the morning, our attention turns towards BRASIL and what this wild and unknown country has in store for us! With a swift sail off the mooring, we begin the last leg of our Atlantic Crossing- a 2,300 nautical mile sail to Ilhabela, just south of Rio. But I think Neptune wanted us to earn this one a bit more, and so our auto pilot malfunctioned at the last moment which meant we would have over 2 weeks straight of hand steering. But hand steering to Southern Cross didn’t end up being quite so bad 😉 We tried a bit of a different approach to the filming and editing of these four passage videos for you guys, so we hope you enjoy the themes you’ll find in each one! Mad Love from the CREW!

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.

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

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.

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

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
