Grenada is a black hole that will suck you in, or at least that’s what we’ve heard, and after spending a little time here we can see why! In this episode we have some incredible sailing, we say goodbye to Eric, Maureen, and Colin and life returns to normal on Delos. At least for a few hours…. Rick from Sophisticated Lady tells us of a dinghy cruiser concert, which sounds too cool to pass up so we move Delos over to Hog Island and get deep into the heart of the cruiser sce...

The experiment continues :) Thanks for all the feedback on our last Slow Tv episode! For this one we strapped the camera just above the cockpit. It's one static view 40 minutes long of Delos beating upwind from Trinidad to Grenada. The idea behind these videos is to provide a relaxing, ambient experience with natural audio and no editing. Something to relax to, put up on your flatscreen or second monitor, and just zone out and watch the world go by.

The sail from Trinidad to Grenada is supposed to be eazy-peazy right? Just a leisurely 80NM sail to another island. NOPE!!! It turns out to be one of the roughest overnight passages we’ve had this season with squalls gusting into the 40 knot range that knocked us around all night long with big seas and current against us. Not to mention we had two fresh greenhorns onboard, Eric and Maureen, who were our Patron Crew Contest winners for this leg. There’s no ...

CARNIVAL, WHOA! From the mud drenched sunrise parties to the extravagant costumes and days full of limin’ & chippin’ - our few weeks spent on Trinidad were truly the experience of a lifetime!! It became even more interesting when we dug into the history of this legendary event which spans centuries, cultures, continents and religions. We hope we did a decent job at capturing the vibe and maybe even inspired some of YOU to check it out yourselves one day :D

Happy Friday Patrons!
First of all.... Thank you for being you! We hope your week went smooth and your ready for a nice chill weekend!
We are sooo excited about this episode :) Mr. Brady put a lot of love into it. Close to 55 hours behind the screen to be exact!
Did we seriously just sail into the Caribbean!? After almost 10 years sailing around the world, we've made it to the sailors playground. The Caribbean is a mecca for cruisers and we just arrived...

BONUS VIDEO!!! This is a bit of an experiment, and you are the guinea pigs he he :)
On a recent sail we were inspired by a TED talk on the concept of Slow TV. The idea is to capture an experience from a point of view over a long time span. In this case we were exploring the Maroni river in French Guiana. We hooked up a few Go Pro's on Delos and let them run until the battery went dead. We also recorded the audio separately with our external microphone. ...

Why would you sail your home up a jungle river in French Guyana?
Well because it’s fun obviously! One of our favorite things is exploring off the beaten path in Delos, and taking our sailing home up a fresh water river is too cool to pass up. We get Delos way back off of a small tributary and anchor up for some dinghy exploring in Maggie. We notice that the animals are extremely skittish, and and find a patch of forest that’s been utterly destroyed by illegal loggin...

NIGHT SQUALL!!!!! On day 9 of a 1,400 mile passage we get hit in the middle of the night by a massive squall! The wind is hitting a solid 45 knots and the rain is driven so hard it’s blinding us. We accidentally jibe, take a wave in the salon hatch, and it takes all hands on Deck to get Delos under control and properly reefed as we cruise down the waves making over 14 knots. That pretty much sums up life in the ITC ZED….
The next day we sight land and sail Del...

Well, it's 1:45 A.M. in Grenada and after a few rums it's time to share our latest episode with you!
Holy hell, Kiril did an incredible job editing this beast of an episode. We say a sad goodbye to Brazil and set sail northwest....to...we don't really know YET. Along the passage we visit remote reefs, celebrate a birthday and put BLUE through her equator crossing ceremony!
Time for some sleep!
Much Love,

Time to explore the hidden treasures of Fernando de Noronha! We start off by exploring Brazil’s most celebrated beaches. Feeling a pull to the ocean we long to breath underwater so we set off on a scuba diving adventure, and man was it a real treat! We had encounters with sharks, rays, and barracuda. Then, to top off an already incredible experience we scuba dive with something we’ve never, ever experienced before! I hope you have as much fun watching this...

What is the most exotic island in all of Brazil? You know, something with with sand beaches, crystal clear waters, dolphins, turtles, and of course awesome bars? We asked this question a lot and the reply from most people was “Man, you gotta check out Fernando de Noronha!” So we decided to sail there and check it out for ourselves. It’s our last stop in Brazil before setting sail for French Guyana, and we experienced all the island had to offer.

There’s two types of sailors- those that have run aground and that lie about it! We set out to find our friend Torpedinho’s place, which is located up a shallow river, only to find the entrance a maze of shallow sand banks. The GPS coordinates are a little off and we run smack into a sandbank trying to cross the river bar. To make matters worse Delos is being smashed by a running swell beam on, and bashing her keel so hard the entire boat shutters with every impact. I...

We try not to sail to weather... Ever! It's sort of like a big night of drinking, you promise you'll never do it again. But.... We have a date with the airport in Recife and decide to make tracks north. We have 5 days of headwinds and current against us, but we make it to Recife. The only casualty- Mr. Brady's laptop battles a wave and loses :(
We arrive just in time to greet Karin's brother Ragnar, and say goodbye to our beloved Lees...

We wake up aboard Delos sitting on the river bottom! No worries, the tide shall rise again.. It always does :) After getting off the ground he head into the river!
Senor Brady sums this episode up perfectly, “This is my favorite, going into a place where you’re really not supposed to be and thats uncharted. It’s really fun!” Come along as we take Delos 20 miles up a shallow river in the beautiful state of BAHIA, Brazil.

Waking up in a beautiful place, going for a sail and diving straight off your home! All the hard work pays off :). In this episode, we go for one last dive in the beautiful Abrolhos Archipelago before setting sail north to our next destination, Brazils 3rd largest bay.

Happy Friday Patrons! You know how good it feels to finally be diving some good conditions! Last good diving was in Ascension Island!
The Abrolhos Archipelago is an amazing place. The conservation work of the government has paid off huge here. Turtles are everywhere! This place was once a very dangerous uncharted area, and now its a divers paradise :) Have a beautiful weekend and enjoy this episode edited by Blue, Brady Brian and Kiril!

As you know we have used a lot of tunes from Laikipia. A while ago we asked if they wanted to remix Ramukanji in their unique style. They said Hell ya, asked for some old footage of Delos and came back with this :) These guys always bring something new into the music world and aren't scared to push boundaries or try new things. That attitude plus a knack for making music makes them who they are... and we like! haha.

After a pretty intense few weeks in the city we sail out of Rio and set our course for the Abrolhos Archipelago. Along the way we encounter whales, fix our engine, clean our hull, and much much much more! When we arrive in Abrolhos we are blown away by the beauty and go on the hunt for our first dive!
Have a beautiful weekend!

When I think of Brazil, the iconic image of Rio automatically pops into my mind. And I’m pretty sure it does for you too. There’s just a certain mystique about this picturesque, exotic city nestled among breathtaking beaches and mountains that surround Guanabara bay.
Anchoring Delos right in the middle of this 7-million-person city was a completely surreal experience. If you asked me 10 years ago the chances that I would find myself in Rio, let alone on a sailboat here, I proba...

Sometimes the boat drags anchor, you lose your dinghy, things break, and you miss your family. But then you have fantastic islands and even better company to bring you back up! In this episode we explore a bit about both sides of this incredible lifestyle.
Really hope you enjoy! Peace and love from Delos! Brian, Karin, Brady, and Alex
