Nope Nothing To See Here

We rode a F*****G SUBMARINE to a shipwreck! Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 116

The crew takes a road trip around Mauritius to check out some local sites including the 7 colored sands. We go on a mission to find a grounded bulk carrier! While waiting for our permit to come through for St. Brandon Shoals we go on the hunt for wrecks to scuba dive on and end up hitching a ride on a f*cking submarine! Yeeeeewwww! (more…)

A drone crash, a lost tooth and a live concert! Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 115

As Dillon is paddle boarding back to Delos one night there is a bit of a mishap and he knocks his tooth out! We do a night diving mission to try and find it… but to no avail. As you can imagine, he must’ve given his mouth a good whack if he ended up knocking his tooth out, which is definitely what happened. I remember squirming when it happened because I just had an awful idea about how painful it would be. Although, what I will say is that he was lucky that he only knocked out one tooth, as it could’ve been a lot worse.

I’m not sure what he’s going to do about his lost tooth. He hasn’t mentioned either way if he is just going to leave it as it is, or if he is going to see his dentist at the earliest convenience. If it was me, I would be straight to the dentist trying to get it sorted. In fact, I would even consider getting something like a smile makeover, as if you weren’t aware (like I wasn’t initially) that a smile makeover addresses majority of appearance issues, and if you had a lost tooth or other dental issues that you were conscious about, this would be a good way to achieve a smile that you are proud of. Of course, I will support Dillon either way though.

After his paddle boarding accident, I do have to say that I am a bit nervous about getting back on the board in case the same thing happens to me, but this is just a fear that I will have to get over. That wasn’t the end of our action-packed day though, as then, in a random connection, we end up going to see the epic GoodLuck Live Band at a local resort! After the concert we start sailing south and decide to give our new splash drone a shot…uh oh! (more…)

The Delos Diaries: Part 3 “It’ll be all right.”

Night is descending upon Delos and I am sitting here surrounded by the Delos Crew. Brady is cooking, everyone is freshly showered and I am recovering from an epic hangover.

It’s been a strange few days.

Four days ago I received some bad news. (more…)

Meet Elizabeth!

So guys, I’m in South Africa.

This time last year, my world had crumbled and I didn’t know what on earth I was going to do with my life. Hope had disintegrated. Joy was gone. All I could ever hope for was another day of feeling slightly less worse, feel a day with less pain. (more…)

Sailing the Roaring 40s in 30 foot Waves! Sailing SV Delos Ep. 107

In this episode we sail through the roaring 40s and it was crazy! Definitely the most intense part of our 3000NM passage from South Africa to La Reunion. We had wind speeds of over 50kn, 23–32ft (7–10m) waves and in the middle of everything our autopilot breaks and it’s hand steering from now on! A bit of a tester as our new crew have not hand steered before. (more…)
