We Make MISTAKES…THIS Isn’t One Of Them. Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 454

We’ve made all kinds of blunders over the years…Plenty of moments spring to mind from sailing at full speed right into a reef, running aground more times than we can even keep track of, and so many others…some comical, some truly stupid, some a bit scary…but a few months ago when we decided to make that awful upwind sail from The Tuamotus back to the Marquesas Islands to avoid cyclone season, we’re happy to report now that all of our suffering turned out to be worth it, as two big swirling red balls were now filling up our screen when we checked the weather forecast. It had been a longggg few months here too, and honestly it has been one of the tougher times we’ve had on Delos in a while. The Marquesas Islands are such a special place in so many ways, but for the kind of cruising we enjoy and with the needs that we have with Sierra, well lets just say this was not our ideal living situation to say the least. But knowing that we made the right call to keep our family and our home safe made the months of rolling and struggling totally worth it.

Goodbye Delos! We’re off… Sailing Vessel Delos Ep 351

Panama Bound

Over the past 18 months we’ve sailed 7,000 NM and visited 7 different countries! Now the task at hand it to prepare Delos for long term storage in the Panamanian jungle before we fly to Sweden to visit family. There are many things to be done including folding sails, vacuum bagging clothes and food, and of course servicing the mechanical components and water maker to make sure everything functions when we return. In between preparations we take a few moments to enjoy our beautiful surroundings and reflect on the amazing, incredible time we’ve had onboard with The Little Nugget.

The Hardest Part of Sailing- (Bye Bye Taylor) – SV Delos Ep. 350

Panama Bound

The hardest thing about this lifestyle is finding new and creative ways to integrate as many “That’s What She Said Jokes” as Possible … J/K it’s really saying “Until we meet again” to all the incredible people we share our time with! In this episode it’s time for Taylor to return home to visit family and get her own boat ship-shape and ready to sail for next season. We decide to head to a dock as we also plan to fly to Sweden to visit family. On the way to the marina we get hit by a 40+ knot squall. After waiting out the blow in deep water the weather clears and we arrive at the Red Frog marina where we immediately begin a long list of projects to get Delos ready for storage in the jungle. First off is fixing the fuel dipstick, which turns into a delirious debate of twerking and “That’s What She Said Jokes”. Finally the day comes and we bid our good friend Taylor Fair Winds and send her on her way.

DRONE NAVIGATION in Uncharted Shallow Waters- SV Delos Ep. 349

Panama Bound

The only things between us and our destination is a stretch of uncharted shallow waters. In this video we set out for Zapatilla Cays, just on the other side of a shallow, poorly charted pass. I jump in Maggie to use the depth sounder and fly the drone while Karin and Taylor remain onboard Delos. After a few tense minutes we finally make it through and to our destination- Zapatilla Cays! We have the entire island to ourselves and celebrate by cracking open a few coconuts and enjoy mixed with local Abuelo Rum 🙂

Exploring a Mind blowing Wild Island (We’re Falling in Love Here) Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 347

Panama Bound

In this feel-good episode we show why we’re falling in love with Bocas Delos Toro! Please support our sponsor by visiting https://kamikoto.com/delos for an incredible deal on these amazing knives! We decide to set out on a rainy dinghy explore mission and come across a spectacular speck of land miles off the coast. It’s just a speck in the ocean, but home to many exotic bird species. We anchor Maggie and swim ashore to explore this incredible island that reminds us of something out of Jurassic Park. On the way home we make a detour at the beach where we come across our first Sloth Sighting. Karin goes a little Sloth Crazy and literally waits there until it decides to move so she can capture it on camera :). We spend the evening exploring the beach, drinking cheap margaritas and pina coladas, and generally just enjoying our life the best way we know how.

Our New Backyard is PARADISE! SV Delos Ep 346

Panama Bound

The ability to change our backyard is something we absolutely love about the cruising life. In the still heat of the morning we wake up to the paradise that is our new backyard. The conditions are perfect so we decide water sports are in order and the entire crew hits the water for a wakeboard session. Things take a sad turn when it’s time for JaeCee to fly home, but it ends in laughter when she has an un-forseen encounter at the airport…. Still laughing about JaeCee and her interesting situation we decided to hoist the hook and venture out for some exploration and snorkeling at a place called Hospital Point where we find amazingly clear water, a cool drop off, and a beach all to ourselves.

One Week At SEA… Sailors Let Loose! SV Delos Ep 345

Panama Bound

You’ve spent one week at sea with nothing but blue all around you. A speck of green appears over the horizon. Then the smell of land hits you in the face. Suddenly you are surrounded by green jungle. It’s exciting and an assault on your senses all at the same time. So what’s the first thing you would do? In this video we show the experience of making landfall after sailing from Mexico to Bocas Del Toro, Panama. The crew is incredibly pumped and after clearing in with Immigration and Customs we immediately head into town to celebrate with drinks, dinner, and dancing. Soon we find ourselves immersed in the jungle Paradise that is Bocas Del Toro, Panama. We explore the jungle, smash ourselves in the surf, and swim with dolphins in the anchorage!

How SAILING helps you LIVE in the NOW. (Part 6 of 6) SV Delos Ep 344

Panama Bound

Sailing brings people together in the most wonderful ways, and can help you to live in the NOW! After a week and nearly 1,100 nm sailed the crew is in the zone. We’ve fallen into a healthy cycle of sleep, eat, watch, and repeat. We’ve shared stories and intimate moments, laughs and meals. And so it’s a very bitter-sweet moment when we realize we have less than 1 day until we arrive in Panama. We make the most of it by hoisting our giant down wind sails on our dual-pole setup. It goes smoothly until a mishap with timing on our fore guy brings the pole flying back ad Jade’s head and gives her a good whack. She powers through and we ice her down, and the reward is the amazing display of flying both head sails powering Delos dead downwind. We have an incredible afternoon of sailing and douse sails just before we’re hit by a line of squalls at night. The crew reflects on what an amazing passage it’s been and how much (or how little) we’re looking forward to exploring Panama!

ROUGH SEAS- The Truth About Offshore Sailing (part 5 of 6) SV Delos Ep 343

Panama Bound

We’ve been at sea for the better part of a week. The days, nights, and miles under the keel are flowing by at a rapid pace. The seas and winds are building and Delos is slicing through the waves towards our destination, sailing due South towards Panama. The crew officially has their sea legs and tackles some domestic tasks that we wouldn’t dare to in the first few days. Like make a gourmet iced coffee, cook a full scrambled egg breakfast for the entire crew, and some much needed eyebrow sculpturing. Plus lot’s and lot’s of hours spent sailing and staring at the horizen. This video is a glimpse into what it’s like to be on a small boat in the middle of the ocean.

WEAPONS OUT & Piracy Countermeasures at Sea- Prepare to be boarded! (Part 4 of 6) SV Delos Ep 342

Panama Bound

What if the worst nightmare suddenly became a reality? How would you react if you were boarded? It’s day 5 at sea and we’re approaching a critical point in our passage. Our mission thus far is to make as much progress to the East as possible. There are two reasons for this. 1) It puts us further away from the Nicaragua coast and the piracy problems that have plagued these waters. 2) Improves our angle to the wind and comfort level once we turn South towards Panama. As we near our turn I take the crew aside for a briefing about the research Karin and I have done on this area. We talk about our sailing tactics, going dark at night, and how to best prepare ourselves should our worst possible nightmare become a reality.

What’s a Sextant good for? How far off were we? (Part 3 of 6) SV Delos Ep 341

Panama Bound

Have you ever hand steered by the stars and fixed your position with a sextant? It’s day 3 and Delos is gliding along under perfect conditions. We’re hit by a squall under pink silhouetted skies, but it only makes the experience more beautiful. The crew tries hand steering at night by the stars and really begins to understand why sailing can be described as meditative. The next day I break out our sextant and we begin by taking a series of sightings with one purpose- see just how close we can get to our actual GPS position using old navigation techniques that are centuries old. Guess how far off we were?

SHARK BAIT HOO HA HA! The Perfect Day at Sea (Part 2 of 6) – SV Delos Ep. 340

Panama Bound

Imagine jumping into a 12,000 foot deep pool… Only you are in the middle of an ocean and being towed under sail! The conditions are absolutely perfect and Delos is a few hundred miles off shore just drifting along in light winds and calm seas. We decide to show the crew a PERFECT DAY AT SEA 🙂 First off we decide to take the girls up the mast and show them first hand the amazing feeling of being aloft while under full sail. Then I have one of my best ideas ever. With conditions ideal we stop for a mid-ocean swim. With sails deployed all the toys come out and we have a surreal experience flying along under water like Manta Rays in the deep dark blue.

Sailing to Panama! 5 Semi-adults, 1 Baby, and 1,000 NM ( Part 1 of 6) SV Delos Ep 339

Panama Bound

WooHoo time to sail to Panama! Kiril did an absolutely bang-up job editing this 6 part series for us. We’ll be releasing the videos over the next few weeks. Hope you enjoy and have a fantastic weekend :). XXOO- Brian, Kazza, Baby Nugs, Taylor, Jade, and JaeCee

Immigration. Check! Fuel. Check! Provisions. Check! Weather Forecast. Check! The only thing left is to pull up the hook and head out. There’s nothing quite like the feeling just before a passage. It’s a mixture of anxiety and excitement all rolled together, and knowing that you are about to cross 1,000 miles of open ocean with a group of incredibly cool people only makes it that much better. After lashing Maggie to the foredeck we do a crew briefing and planning session, pull up the hook, hoist sail, and set our course East- towards Panama. Spirits are incredibly high and our new crew is in the groove spending their first night at sea. Things don’t always go smoothly as our freezer quits on day 2. But then we get wind to sail and The Little Nugget keeps the crew in shape with one of her exercise routines 🙂

Seriously Outnumbered. Panama Crew is Complete! SV Delos EP 338

Panama Bound

Welcome aboard Jade and JaeCee!!! If you’re ready for ear to ear smiles this episode is for you 🙂 Our crew for Panama is finally complete. It’s really one of those full-circle stories that will make you smile. We met Jade and JaeCee in the Florida Keys. It turns out that Jade and her Dad watched SV Delos episodes when she lived in Ohio. A few years later she bought her own boat and moved to Key West to start a life working on the water. We hit it off with Jade, and her bestie JaeCee, who both worked at the same sailing charter. And now we have a chance to show them both what it’s really like on an offshore passage! We begin by picking them up at the airport with our good friend Juan, who of course decided to do it Nacho Libre style 🙂 We put everyone straight to work checking off our to-do list. We need to get Covid tests, provision Delos, get off the dock, clean the dirty bottom, and inspect the rigging. But we have a TON of fun doing everything.

We taste our final product (It works!) Moonshiners Part II SV Delos Ep 337

Panama Bound

When the top of your to-do list involves finishing a fresh batch of moonshine life is pretty good right? Well…. Just when I think I’m on top of my game Delos throws a wrench in my plans. The generator starts to overheat. AGAIN. With a weather window looming on the horizon it’s an all out race to troubleshoot the issue and find parts. If we miss this window it could be weeks before another one rolls through. In between troubleshooting the generator, filling Delos with fuel, and other assorted odds and ends we find time to finish filtering, flavoring, and bottling our fresh batch of moonshine!

Feel the Burn… MOONSHINING 101 on a Sailboat (Part 1) SV Delos ep 336

Panama Bound

Our moonshine process onboard start to finish! Kazza requests vodka, and Taylor wants to learn so we whip up a batch from scratch. After a few weeks in Mexico we find ourselves pinned down, tied to a dock, and waiting for weather for our passage to Panama. We make the most of our time by preparing Delos for the passage, but also taking advantage of the pool, slackline, and most importantly- using our time to whip up a batch of moonshine from scratch.

A Magical World Unlike Any Other | Cenote Diving in Mexico | SV Delos ep 335

Panama Bound

In this episode we dive under the Yucatan Jungle, into a dream world filled with magic, fossils, and clouds of acid. Cenote diving in Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula can best be described as blurring the lines between fantasy and reality. In this video we get an offer too cool to refuse- a scuba diving adventure exploring the famous El Pit and Dos Ojos cenote’s in the Yucatan. So we pack our bags, cameras, and head over the the mainland. Our buddy Juan picks us up for a mini road trip to Tulum powered by tacos and beer. After meeting up with our host family and getting settled in we dive, quite literally, into the magical underwater world of the cenote. We are blown away and become instantly addicted to this new, and sometimes treacherous world the lives concealed under the jungle.

BIZARRE things 1 NM Offshore | Scuba Diving Isla Mujeres | SV Delos Ep 334

Panama Bound

We see a lot of strange things underwater, but this has to be the strangest! We heard a rumor of bizarre objects about 1 mile offshore from Isla Mujeres. With some possible GPS coordinates in hand we decide to spend the morning searching. Imagine swimming along and finding a sunken car, then a bunch of kneeling headless statues, then a group of coral-covered people. What the heck is going on here? Well you’ll need to watch to find out :). After returning from our exploration mission we comment on how nothing has broke on Delos in a while. Well, we should have kept our mouths shut because we had a major system failure involving the generator, toilets, AC, and even the water maker. With temperatures over 100F we start troubleshooting right away to pinpoint the problem hopping for a common point of failure.
