Ahoy Delos Tribe! Welcome to part 2 of our passage to the Bahamas mini-series. Hope you enjoy and have a fantastic weekend! Much Love ~ Kazza, Brian and Little Sierra
What's a day in our lives like offshore sailing? In this episode we show you our daily routine, including the dull and exciting things that happen in a single 24 hour period on a small sailboat at sea. We get a call from a boat next to us asking for help, we do a bunch of sail changes, a...

How do you shop for 3 months of OFF THE GRID living on a sailboat? In this episode we find ourselves in the port of San Juan, Puerto Rico preparing to set sail to some very remote islands. Knowing it will be months before we can get supplies again we decide to do a huge provisioning run and fill Delos with enough food for 2 adults + 1 baby for 90 days which is 540 servings plus snacks, drinks, and other necessities like toilet paper! The food in itself is a crazy missi...

Have you ever wondered what the steps are for getting a catamaran off a reef? In this episode Brian helps our neighbors @tgt_sailing after they run aground negotiating a tricky harbor entrance. We also dig into some boat projects and fire up th...

Conditions change fast out here and it's not always blue skies and bikini weather. How can an idyllic anchorage turn into a hell hole of swell and waves in the blink of an eye? Hope you enjoy this video of a not-so-ideal night of our lives. Much Love and thank you so much for all you've done for us with your support! Kazza, Brian and little Sierra
After a few hours ashore we come back to find our dingy anchor has broken loose and Maggie is washed up on the rocks....

Ahoy Delos Tribe! Sending you all much love from our little uninhabited island here. We are doing well, spending our days with Sierra on the beach, swimming, hiking, and also kiteboarding and fishing. We are so grateful to be safe and able to continue editing and releasing the videos during this time. Today's video is from our time in St. Croix, and was filmed before the virus craziness began. Sending you all much love from Delos to you! Brian, Karin, and S...

Our first overnight sail with The Little Nugget! We've sailed a lot of miles on Delos in all sorts of conditions ranging from flat calm to storm force winds. But now with only two people and a baby onboard we need to learn to sail differently. We need to find a way to keep watch, get some rest, prepare food, and of course take care of Sierra all at the same time! After a middle of the night departure we find some wind, unfurl the sails, and set out West for a few hundr...

Ahoy Delos Tribe! Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy out there. Today we have a little treat for you- a brand new podcast with On The Wind! When sailing through the BVI's we ran into our good friends Andy and Mia from 59 North Sailing. During a windstorm in the BVI's we had a nice dinner, shared a few drinks, and did a little podcast about life sailing with a family.
It begins with a quick update about what we've been up to in isolation and how we've...

After three weeks all we have left in our fridge is two apples and a pack of beets. We decide it's time to leave our hideout and sail around the corner of the island so we can provision the boat properly. Our time at anchor getting used to life onboard with Sierra has been fantastic, but it's time to get a move on and start our sailing for the season!
After heading into the beach one last time and fixing the broken dinghy engine we set sail and provision Delos w...

Hello Delos Tribe! We're now entering our 8th week our here.... Our plans for this season involved some off the grid sailing, but recent events have taken it to a whole new level. We wanted to have a live stream with you guys and talk about how the pandemic has affected us and other cruisers in the area.

In this episode we discover the ups and downs of living on Delos with just the three of us. There are some things that are much harder, and other things that are easier...... After a heartfelt talk from Kazza about the videos and a special omelette breakfast surprise we decide to tackle a project of installing some more solar panels.
In a previous episode we removed a solar panel to install our new Viasat Internet, so to replace the lost capacity we decided to work wi...

Imagine that you live on a sailboat, work on a sailboat, and travel on a sailboat. Then you have a baby.... We were extremely nervous setting out on our first sail with The Nugget. How would she react? Would she like it or would it be a total disaster? Do we need to rethink our lifestyle and future plans? Well there's only one way to find out! With clear skies and what they call "reinforced trades" blowing 25-30 knots we set out straight into it tacki...

"Come on over to our sailboat we have SUPER fast Internet, even in the middle the ocean!!!" Is something I never thought I would say. But here we are in a brave new world with satellites zooming overhead beaming internet down from space. And now we're literally catching these space beams with a very fancy, very shiny computer controlled gimbaled bit of hardware and using it to stay connected and work remotely. Both at sea and in the far corners of the globe! In t...

Kazza and I are just so excited for you all to meet our Lil' Nugget- Sierra Ebba Trautman, and share in our adventure as we try to figure out the sailing life with a baby on board!!! Sierra was born in Sweden and when she was 4 months old we decided it was time to head back to our floating home. So far It's been an emotional roller coaster with many highs, a few lows, and more than our share of poop stories....
Sending Lot's of Love and hope you guys enjoy the video. T...

Hey Patrons!
Hope you're having a beautiful Thursday night and getting ready for a fun weekend. Blue and I are in Lake Tahoe, with my brother Brett and his family, who came up to visit us from Florida :) Their kids have never seen snow before!! Despite this February being one of the driest on record, we're having fun in the sunshine on the lake and are planning on doing some "Spring Skiing" tomorrow :)
Anyway, we've decided to end our season with a big ole "SEASON FINALE" ep...

Happy Friday Patrons! We won't be releasing an episode on Patreon Today. We are working super hard on our season finale and will be releasing it next week. Instead of pumping out a few episodes we would rather take the time and make a longer format episode that we are super proud of. After we release our Season Finale you'll get to meet Sierra officially when Brian and Karin take back over the channel :)

After completing our passage from the Azores to the Canary Islands we say see ya later to Sean and Chia.

Slow TV sailing is meant to be watched in the background at the office, workshop, or home. Put on and enjoy the sounds and sights of what it's really like out there.

Hey Patrons!! Happy Valentines day!
There's a lot packed into this one :) After 3 months of being onboard its finally time to say see you later to our DELOS SCHOLARSHIP winner, Ruben. It's bittersweet as we go on one last 4x4 adventure as a complete crew. After we say our goodbyes to Ruben, we check weather and make the spontaneous call to set sail for the Canary Islands, Spain! The 914 mile passage puts us to the test both mentally and physically. After 8 sleepless days of b...

We had the time of our life going up in this little beast and hope you will enjoy the views too :) After our adventure in the air it was time to dive into the deep blue and make our ...

Hey patron family!! This episode just finished uploading overnight :) . Happy Friday!!
Would you rather dive with sharks or gallop on a horse when you don’t know how!? Well in today’s episode, we get to do a bit of both! We go out with a local dive shop into 600 meters of water and have our first experience witnessing a dive shop chum. We know this can be a controversial issue so we just sat back and learned what we could about the beautiful Blue Sharks that finally built up enough ...

Sending you good vibes where ever in the world you might be!
The Azores have a long standing tradition of sailors painting their boat names on the jetty walls before setting out to sea, and in this episode we take that tradition to heart! Little did we know the majority of the MASSIVE concrete pier would soon be smashed by Hurricane Lorenzo and have a very serious effect on the island. It was a hard place for us to leave, but after wrapping up ou...

The azores are continuing to blow our minds!! We were lucky enough to get a small break in the every changing weather of the North Atlantic to leave the harbour and explore. This anchorage will always hold a special place in our hearts.
After a few days we're chased back into the harbour for protection so Sean and Chia went on a little surf mission! Lots of love to Chia for editing the last part of this episode when her and Sean g...

What a beautiful passage this has been! This episode shows our last few days at sea during our 12 day passage from Bermuda to the Azores. Senor Brady flys the drone, the crew lose track of time, and we are blown away by the beauty of sailing up to the island of Flores in the Azores! Hope you enjoy, BB and crew.
Kiril did an awesome job taking the lead on editing this one!
Much Love,
Brady and Blue
