Delos goes way up the Kinabatangan River, deep into the jungles of Borneo! Along the way we spot Proboscis Monkey’s (AKA Dick Nose), massive crocodiles, and even pigmy elephants! Awesome times 🙂
Nope Nothing To See Here
Well, to be honest I didn’t know much at all before I arrived in Langkawi, Malaysia, to meet up with the Delos crew who at that point was Brian and Karin. Me and my girlfriend Frida were probably as blank as a page can be when it comes to boats and sailing.
Awesome footage of the crew playing with Dolphins in Cocos (Keeling)! Such smart animals, they loved our attempts to mimic them!
Thanks to these guys for sharing their music with Delos and the rest of the world!
Tossing and turning throughout the night, it didn’t seem like I got much sleep at all. I remember waking up in the middle of the night really frustrated. All I wanted was to sleep. Or even a bed that was still.
It was the most peaceful night. The wind was nice and easy under 10 knots from the ESE, and we were cruising along under the full moon being rocked up and down by the big, gentle southerly swell.
Ragnar joins the Delos crew all the way from Sweden! He busts his head on the mizzen, and helps the crew to replace our dead batteries and repair our head.
I woke up this morning rolling back and forth in my bunk. I went up into the cockpit and noticed no wind. We were motoring along and swaying with the waves. The past few days were really cloudy, but today was quite sunny, so I decided to sit at the bow.
Officially now day 6 at sea, it was 4am when my alarm awoke me from a deep sleep. With eyes half shut, I walked outside to find a fresh 20 knots of breeze still from the NE.
Delos is swaying really nicely. Not too rough, not too still.. perfectly comfortable. I sank into the cushions of the saloon, ginger tea in one hand and pillows squished behind my head as I lay back and put a movie on.. Avatar.
…..We had some 1600 Nautical Miles ahead of us… We were in the Andaman Islands, India and our next destination was across the equator and into the southern hemisphere to Cocos Keeling Islands, Australia.
Scuba Diving In The Middle Of The Open Ocean!- Sailing SV Delos Ep. 47
After an unplanned 8 months cruising around, the time had come to leave the amazing Philippines. Our next stop Malaysia! On the way we stop at one of the most magical dive sites we have ever seen filled with Sharks and turtles, then continue our sail to Malaysia!

With nothing to do and no place to be we found ourselves drifting through the amazingly beautiful El Nido. We found an incredible island where our days blended into weeks.
How did I score a part of this adventure with The Delos Crew you might ask? WELL.. it all started when I was backpacking in South America. I had noticed The Delos crew put a lucky draw to be a part of their crew for 10 days. How exciting!
We leave the big city of Manila behind and set sail for Coron, Palawan, Philippines! Along the way we stop at Apo Reef for some snorkeling and diving, then a random African animal safari park on Caluit Island.
Hello darling friends!
It’s been an intense time with new impressions adapting to a life at sea. First arriving on Delos; straight into work mode doing the Haul out, welcoming the rest of the crew and provisioning part one in Langkawi.
