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.
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!
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!
Sailing action in the Southern Indian Ocean! After 1,500 miles and 13 days at sea we cross the equator and battle with the wind and current to line ourselves up for our final turn to Cocos Keeling. We hit terrible squalls with rain and bad winds and the crew gets bounced around a lot.
Sailing through some of the worst weather we’ve ever seen on Delos with massive squalls of solid 40 knots, gusting into the 50’s. The crew gets bashed around by the wind and currents as we crawl our way south and east.
We’re blown away by the beauty of Cocos Keeling Islands, which is actually part of Australia. We’re talking crystal clear water, white sands beaches, and an amazing anchorage protected by a beautiful reef.

An Entire Atoll To Ourselves In The Indian Ocean- Sailing SV Delos Ep. 88
Sailing 1,500 miles from Cocos Keeling we make landfall in the remote, exotic paradise that is CHAGOS!!! We quickly discover that the entire atoll is completely deserted and we have the whole place to ourselves.
The crew goes on a fishing expedition to the south end of Saloman Atoll in the remote Chagos archipelago and discovers an abandoned village vacated by the Chagosians over 50 years ago. Even though the village has an eerie vibe to it the chance to explore such an amazing place is just too much to pass up.
Sometimes it’s not all sunshine and rainbows out here! We continue to explore the very cool islands of Chagos, checking out the abandoned village, exploring the countless beaches, and tracking down as many coconut crabs as we can find.
