Different perspectives and views on the same time period have always fascinated me. We've found that so many details and memories of life are filled in as we edit through our footage, which is another fascinating part of being fortunate enough to make these videos. You don't remember every interaction or conversation, but having a photograph or video can help fill in the rich details of the past.
As we've sailed from the lessor populated areas into the Caribbean this brings ...

Let's make it happen St. Lucia!!! Did you know that Brady actually looks like Paul Walker? Or that you can cook a 10lb turkey in a boat oven powered by lithium batteries? Well, neither did we, but according to local bean sorter Lil' Fiz he's a dead ringer, and according to Capt. Brian you can indeed cook a turkey on a boat :) .
After getting checked into St. Lucia the girls decide to go for a horseback ride, and the boys decide to laze around and do, well to be h...

Happy Friday Patrons!!
Some days on Delos are very hard work, and some days are simply PERFECT! This is one of those perfect days that all of us will remember for a long time!

It’s exploring & diving random and off the beaten place places like this that's one of our absolute favorite parts about cruising :D We hope you have fun jumping on board today, love you lots tribe :D...

Hey patrons!! As you may know we've been in Florida for the past week, although it seems like we arrived 5 minutes ago haha. Delos is tied up to a fellow Delos Tribe Members private dock in Pompano Beach, Fl. We've been working non-stop on our to-do list getting Delos ready to sail across the Atlantic in a few weeks and spending time with family :)
Sorry its a bit of a short notice but Brian and Karin fly out on Saturday the 1st so we only have one day where we are all together.

Thank you so much for sending in your questions Delos Tribe, they were so helpful in putting this video together! We know that bottom-painting season is fast approaching in some parts, so we wanted to get this out to you ASAP. Please put your questions/comments below and we'll do our best. Since this is not a normal series video we exclude this from counting towards your per-video contribution. Just a small token of appreciation to let you know how much we apprec...

This episode is special story for our patrons :)
After our introduction to kiteboarding in Union Island we set sail North towards Bequia. Along the sail we encounter some strong head winds but make the best of it by enjoying the ride up at the bow. Not knowing what to expect in Bequia we find ourselves diving an incredible cave and getting to explore the famous MoonHole Compound! We’ve been lookin for a Delos Home Base… Could this be it??!

Kiteboarding is something we’ve always wanted to learn. In fact we had a kite on Delos when crossing the South Pacific and nearly killed ourselves trying to learn on our own. But now with an excellent teacher and some new kit we’re ready to give it another shot!
Pokemon leads us through the entire setup of a kite and harness- covering the quick release safety gear and the basics of flying. Before we know it we’re body dragging all over the place and ready for our first...

One of the things we love about cruising is having TIME! Time to relax, explore, and spend on ridiculous ideas. Anchored inside the amazing Tobago Cays marine park we decide to lift the hook and head outside the reef, to the island of Petit Tobac, where it just so happens that one of the best Pirates of the Caribbean movies was filmed. A simple idea becomes a full on mission and we find ourselves digging a hole to bury a pirates booty of Delos moonshine and some other treasu...

Dear Delos Tribe! It’s a sunny, beautiful morning here on Delos. We’re currently in the incredible city of San Juan, Puerto Rico soaking up the atmosphere and getting Delos ready for our next sail to the Bahamas.
We plan to leave tomorrow but we’re not sure if it’s possible because our jib furler started making a terrible grinding noise on the sail here. I tore it apart and found that the top seal has gone bad, letting water into the gearbox and electric motor. The motor ...

Sometimes even the most straight forward of tasks leads to an adventure. We plan to check out of Carriacou only to find that the customs office closed for good just the day before. Me meet up with Greg-OR-ry and he takes us on chill ride to the main town where the officials are hangin out. They take a short break from watching YouTube videos to stamp our papers and we’re off!
We arrive at Union island, get cleared with customs and immigration, and proceed to the infa...

Ahoy Patrons! Hope you’re having a beautiful Monday :)
It’s crazy to think we’ve been in the Caribbean for over a year now. What’s even more amazing is during the past year we’ve had the pleasure of sailing with 13 Patreon crew contest winners!! It felt like each one of these people was a close friend and it’s always such an honor to get to know all of YOU in person!
As you saw in the video above, Brian and Kazza are headed to Sweden to ...

If you like tweaking sails, sailing drone shots, and MacGyver like mechanical repairs while bashing upwind this video is made for you!!! With our shakedown cruise complete it’s time for Delos and her crew to leave Grenada behind and begin our exploration of the Grenadines. The guys from Precision Sails in Canada join us for a day sail and we set off towards Carriacou. Delos gets her new mizzen hoisted and we spend a few hours tweaking the leach, halyard, and foot tensions ...

Ever wondered what it would be like to pull a boat off a reef? What about if they have full sails up, are motoring themselves further in, appearing to be belligerant drunk, and refusing all help!? Well this is the encounter we had in Grenada, after a peaceful night sail back from our beautiful Tobago. But as always, the cruiser community rallies together and takes matters into their own hands. But first- a sweet dive through the infamous London Bridge in Tobago!

On this Friday we bring you a podcast of Senor and Blue having a nice little chat with Andy and Mia from 59 North Sailing! It was pretty wild to going from sailing in Svalbard with heaps of layers, to seeing each other in shorts in the Caribbean. We were stoked that our timing lined up, and honored to be apart of their podcasts. We chat about our Arctic expedition, how Brady & Blue each ended up on Delos, and how to stay inspired creatively. We have attached a link her...

I hope everyone is having a spectacular weekend! It's been a few months since we splashed Delos and we've had a chance to evaluate the SeaSpeed Bottom Paint and Sonihull Ultrasonic System. And now it's time to make a video about the results :)
We've answered quite a few questions via email and comments about this so I know it's a hot topic. So let your questions rip and we'll do our best to answer. Even if the questions are just about antifouling in general...

Lionfish are the scourge of the Caribbean! Let's hunt and eat as many as we can! They lay millions of eggs, feast on other juvenile fish species, and have no natural predators in the Caribbean. We’ve hunted lionfish for a long time and thought it would be cool to share what we’ve learned about this problem with y’all.
We begin this episode by explaining how we choose dive sites by looking at our nautical charts, knowing that large drop-offs and changes in depth coupled...

Amidst a flooding river of outgoing logs and full on trees we decide to anchor Delos in Bloody Bay- Tobago, or rather because of the torrential weather better known as Muddy bay! After winding Delos through the debris field we find a decent anchorage and it's time to begin exploring the scene in this less traveled part of the world.

Dear Tribe! Karin and I had the honor of meeting with Sailing Video Pioneers Paul and Sheryl Shard from Distant Shores. They are very cool, like-minded sailors and filmed a little interview of us which I think is fantastic. Please have a watch and stay tuned for our upcoming interview of Paul and Sheryl, where we discuss all the changes they have seen over the years while sailing and filming:)
