We Found Hikers Paradise in La Reunion! Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 109
After sailing 3,000 miles from Cape Town, La Reunion Island absolutely blew us away with its natural beauty and friendly people! It’s just a small speck in the middle of the Indian Ocean, but has incredible hiking, waterfalls, diving, surfing, and culture.

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.

It’s not for everyone! Sailing the Southern Indian Ocean- SV Delos Ep. 106
Sailing up the Wild coast! We lose sight of land as we turn east across the strong Agulhas Current, Sailing into the big Southern Indian Ocean! A rough sea unchecked by any land, and we felt it! Struggling to keep our food down Delos starts taking in water through the bow thruster and that’s not our only water leak 🙁
Dodging Massive Storm at Cape of Good Hope! Sailing SV Delos Ep. 105

Sailing at 18 KNOTS down the WILD COAST of South Africa! SV Delos Sailing Ep. 102
After chilling out in Richards Bay waiting for a good weather window to sail south we finally get what we’ve been waiting for! 30 + knots of wind, 5+ knots of current and some big seas rocket us south along the Wild Coast of South Africa! Brian has to visit the local Dr. because of a strange bite on his hand, and we set sail once again to continue our passage!
Soooo cooool!!! It was such a pleasure to meet with Andy and Mia from 59-north.com. They’ve done **176 amazing podcasts** and we’re humbled to be in such good company!

09:00 It’s 260 NM from Mossel Bay to Cape Town. The forecast is very light over the next two days and we decide to go for it. Better to have it light then against us.
08:00- What a nice feeling it is to sleep the whole night! Nothing like a solid 9 hours ? I peek my head out the aft hatch and find a cold, rainy, grey morning.
Day 3
00:00- The wind is starting to come out of the south now. It’s nice and light, about 10 knots so perfect conditions really. I cut the engine off and unfurl the genoa. Delos is now cruising along at about 7 knots and perfectly happy.
