Are you ready to take on Brian’s Seahab challenge? :D I think you are! I absolutely love what Kiril and Brian did with this episode! A pure and honest reflection of why we love sailing on the open ocean, and how we find our happy place out here amongst the waves.
Lots of love ~ Kazza and the crew

I edited together this mid-week bonus video about something that I've often thought about.... What would you do if you got a breach in your hull and started taking on water? We got to practice in a real life scenario when a boat dropped their hook super close to Delos and asked for our assistance.
We have an emergency! We’re taking on water! Yelled the boat that just dropped it’s hook right next to us. By the time we arrived the water was nearly to the ...

Happy New Video Friday Delos Tribe!!! What’s the best way to explore a new island? We had barely dropped the hook at the small Puerto Rican island of Culebra before 2 locals approached us in their boat. It turns out they had been watching our videos for years! Little did we know that Nestor and Annabell would become our family for the next few days. Showing us all the secret spots of this incredible island, cooking us local food and getting deep into some boat projects. I ...

It's hump day Delos Tribe, and I think sometimes we can all use a mid-week relaxation break :) Since posting our previous Slow TV episodes I've received quite a few requests for more. So take a few minutes, run this in the background, and come sailing with us for a bit on the ocean! As always, we're constantly trying to make these better so looking forward to your thoughts on how to improve the concept.
Here is the YouTube description: Want to zone out and ...

Update 2- It's gonna be one hell of a party, the event is SOLD OUT!
Update- At this moment there are only 50 seats left out of 300, which means this might end up being the biggest Delos get together to date :) I just wanted to let you all know before we post to the public. So excited to see you all there!

Happy Friday Delos tribe! In this masterpiece of editing we explore Saba Island, both above and below the sea, and invite 2 total strangers into our home. For a couple of days we show them not only how we cook, clean and sail around but also take them with us to work :) Sharing our home and this lifestyle with complete strangers is one of the most amazing experiences. It brings a completely new dimension to this adventure. And is something we love to do! We set sail for the infamo...

A few days ago I had the pleasure of recording a podcast with Mason Gravley from The Adventure Sports Podcast. He asked some incredible questions about how the the trip started so many years ago and what it's like to cross an ocean on a sailboat. It was an absolute blast, and I hope you enjoy! Fair winds- Capt Brian

There will be a small charge to cover the cost of renting the venue, but it will definitely be worth it.

Happiest of Friday's Delos Tribe!!!! Want to see how a modern city looks after being buried in a pyroclastic flow? After randomly drawing our Patreon crew contest winners Martin and Crystal, Delos sets sail leaving Antigua in our wake. After a few hours of fantastic downwind sailing we anchor ourselves in the protection of the island and begin our exploration. It turns out the entire south portion of the island is an off-limits exclusion zone to protect the popul...

Have you ever wondered what we’d do incase of a pirate attack? Where the name Delos comes from or what the story is behind the big face carving in the saloon? All of these questions gets answered in this video! Alex’s friends come out to visit and bring with them HEAPS of questions! Their first time on a sailboat also means dolphins, beaches, 30KN squalls and seasickness! A lot of first timers in this video! Hope you like! :D Much Love!! Kazza and The Crew.

It’s the story of how Karin and I met, and includes some footage that I dug up from the very beginning of the trip when I first left Seattle and Delos crossed the Pacific. I edited it as a story told to our unborn daughter, who could actually be born at at any time now. It's the story of "How I Met Your Mother." I hope she can watch this in the coming years and lau...

Thanks for your support and making these videos possible Delos Tribe :) After 2 weeks of exploring the southern end of Dominica we set sail towards the northern tip to explore. The wind was directly behind us which made for perfect conditions to fly Brians Favorite sail! The Mizzen Ballooner! After some drone flying and filming we end up in Portsmouth where we learn about some incredible history, say a sad goodbye to Nate and Jordan and then set sail, once again! Its almost wedding time!

Ever heard of black water diving? Neither had we until we arrived in Dominica and DRENCHED challenged us to hang off a dive boat in the middle of the night in 5,000 feet of water to see WHAT was rising up from the depths! It was pretty terrifying, trippy, eye opening and despite our nerves we would DEFINITELY do it again! We are under the surface for the majority of this episode, enjoying the crazy drop offs, colorful coral, abundant fish life, stunning octopus and even Blue’s first SEA HOR...

Hello Delos Tribe!!! Yes, that is indeed me having one of those once in a lifetime "laughing moments" realizing I am actually in the water and swimming with a sperm whale!!! Our mission to film sperm whales in Dominica began one afternoon when we received a random email from Nate and Jordan. “Hey guys! We have an idea…. How about we approach the government and see if we can get a permit to swim with the whales there? Who knows…” Well, one thing lead to an...
