The Delos Diaries Part 24: “The Green Mountain and Lizbef’s Hangover from Hell.”
I woke the next morning with a groan. It was early and I could hear the rest of the Delos crew moving about. I prayed to God that they wouldn’t wake me. That they would leave me in bed so I could rest up from the past five days of partying, staying up late and basically being a bit of a vagabond.
Birthday Week for my Swedish Princess!- Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 128
Sailing through Madagascar for Kazza’s birthday week extravaganza!!!! We set out from Nosy Be for a week full of wicked sunsets, incredible scuba diving, a solar eclipse, and even nearly waking up with Delos aground during a massive tide.
The morning came too soon.
The next morning on Malin was beautiful. Tucking into freshly made bread and honey, I sat in the cockpit contentedly with a cup of tea.

The Delos Diaries Part 21: “The French Do Everything Better.”
It’s the morning after the night before. I wake up to find myself wrapped in warm arms and I smile.
Wow, this feels good, I think.
It’s Alex’s birthday.
It’s the WEEKEND!!! Just kidding it’s Wednesday :) Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 126
Sailing and Island hopping around Nosy Be is some of the best we’ve ever seen! we set sail back towards crater bay as we had to say a sad goodbye to Camilla, that was catching a flight back to Sweden. Leaving the incredible Lemur island, we did another stop at the tiny island of Tanikely!
There have been many ways I have thought about starting this sentence. I’ve started in so many ways and in different places, scenarios, maybe at the start- maybe at the end. But I had always had in my mind to start in the middle.

We’re BACK! Lemurs, tortoise and SMILING FACES! Sailing Vessel Delos EP. 125
Reunited and it feels so good!!! After one year and 6,500 NM we sail back into a familiar anchorage in Nosy Be, Madagascar! It’s so nice to be around good friends 🙂
The Delos Diaries: Part 19 “Napoleon, Hiking and the Delos Story.”
We’ve been in St Helena now for two weeks. It’s been a wonderful time with a lot of amazing adventures. We’ve even made some friends. On Friday, Lisa our Austrian managed to do a DJ session at the radio station. We had bought a bottle of rum for us all to share whilst we played songs, danced and laughed to our heart’s content.
The magical Nosy Hara archipelago in Madagascar! Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 124
After rounding the gnarly northern cape of Madagascar we make it to an amazing remote limestone island! The timing was perfect as the wind calmed down for us to enjoy a full day of diving, climbing and enjoying the beach!
We’ve been here just over a week now in St Helena. I knew when I landed here that I was always supposed to come to this place and I deeply feel that more than anything. But I am already feeling the stirrings of restlessness to be back on the ocean.
We’ve explored the land and I’ve felt a shifting of allegiance in my heart.
It’s 3am and my watch isn’t for another hour. But there’s a commotion on Delos and I’m grumbling to myself why people can’t be quieter.
Don’t they know I’m sleeping?
I then realise that there’s only one reason why the entire crew would be up at this moment.
St Helena.
I creep through the darkness, swaying with the motion of the boat as I attempt to head silently to the snack cupboard. It’s 3am, everyone is asleep and I.am.hungry.
I open the cupboard and rub my hands in glee. I pull out an oat snack bar to hear a rustling to my left.
“What are you doing?”
Our favorite sail blows upon an epic afternoon of downwind sailing… Rounding the gnarly northern cape of Madagascar we make incredible speed in 40 knots of wind as usual 🙂
The Delos Diaries: Part 15 “Time Machines and Peanut Butter.”
It’s day 6 aboard Delos on our passage to St Helena. I’m getting more and more excited by the day. I don’t know whether it’s because the currency is English, the history, or the fact that a bunch of British people live there, but it’d be nice to get a taste of home- even if it is on a random island in the middle of nowhere.
The crew is rushing around Delos with anticipation rife in the air. The reason?
We leave today. We’re securing everything down in sight, putting things away and searching for anything that could fall, break or roll.
