Sailing through a massive squall, the weather finally calms enough for us to put the pollywogs though an equator crossing ceremony and go for a naked swim!
Nope Nothing To See Here
Sailing to La Réunion was not only my first real sailing experience, but my first dive after getting certified. Only being used to 5 meters of viz and harsh Atlantic temperatures, my mind was blown when I first rolled into the water. It was warm, gin clear and full of life.
Sailing to the equator we are hit by a big storm and practice heaving to to try and make Delos comfortable in the big winds. After being at sea for close to 2 weeks, Delos sails her way towards the Equator!

Part 1 (South Africa: Before the Passage)
Many people envision the cuisine on a boat as not much more than eating cold baked beans out of the can and rationing out water and moldy pieces of bread.
But not on Delos!
Sailing Hardcore – Gettin’ on that lean! SV Delos Sailing Ep. 75
Sailing time! Delos leaves the Andaman Islands behind and sets out on our 1,700 sail to Cocos Keeling, Australia! We plan for about 3 weeks at sea.
Never having had a case of sea sickness during my many voyages, totaling around 8000nm, I was extremely surprised when I started feeling waves of queasiness almost as soon as St Francis Bay disappeared behind the horizon on our trip from South Africa to Reunion Island.
Before crossing the Indian Ocean the crew sat down to figure out a route and game plan. We needed to get from Asia to Africa, avoiding the worst of the weather and making the most of the monsoon season and trade winds. So, we sat down with two very old school technologies.
Thank you so so much YouTube Family for making so much possible! We hit 100,000 subs 🙂 If you haven’t subscribed, do it now for more updates!
We finish our circumnavigation of the Andaman Islands and arrive back in Port Blair. During our celebration dinner out we meet a really cool local guy named Santosh.
