Did you know that if the wind doubles in speed, its power increasees by 8!? So when we get hit by a 50 knot gale its not twice as strong as 25 knots.... its 8 times stronger!! Check out how Delos and the crew handle it :) Sending you love, smiles and fair weather for the weekend! Cheers, Brian

So sorry we're late posting this everyone, we just got connected again in Durban. Wishing you all the best and happiest of Monday's :)
After being in Chagos for so long the crew is hungry! Just as our freezers are getting super empty, we sail across a bank of shallows in the middle of the Indian Ocean. The result? Some of the best fishing we have ever done!! Peace, Love and many fishies to you! Brian, Brady and Karin :)

We leave our beautiful private paradise of chagos behind and set out on our 1500 nautical mile sail towards MADAGASCAR! Yeeeeaaaaaa! Of course we run into some problems with Delos along the way! Hope you enjoy! Brian

The title says it all! It's not all sunshine and rainbows while sailing the world. The crew confront the common hurtles of life. Max and Frida get news from Sweden that requires them to change their plans. Josje and I go through the normal phases of a relationship and decide its time to go out separate ways in life and follow our hearts :) Peace and Love to you guys! Brady

While exploring the remote Chagos Archipelago we come across the Island of Baddam! This island was once home to the local Chagossian people but is now abandoned and the buildings are in ruins. Over the years other sailors have taken over and claimed the buildings for themselves. Although no sailors have lived here permanently, you can feel the vibe of a utopian community that they once had. Hope you enjoy! Much Love Brady, Brian and Kazza!

Happy Friday Delos Tribe!!! We're so excited for you to be the first to see our videos of a very, very special place- CHAGOS! We actually had Saloman Atoll entirely to ourselves. It's hard to describe the beauty of Chagos. We hope the video will do it some justice.
Peace and Love, and eternal grattitude for your continued support! Capt. Breeyawn, Kazza, and Mr. Brady

Goodbye Cocos Keeling! We set out on our 1,500 mile 2 week sail to Chagos in the middle of the Indian Ocean! The crew is feeling a little rough at first because the seas and winds are large and confused. After a few days everyone is back to normal and Brady's hand is healing just fine from the Barracuda attack. About a week into the trip it's time to remove Brady's stiches which was a crazy experience since the waves were m...

No sailors were permanently harmed in the making of this video...... Oh man, what a crazy story! We're super excited to share this one with you guys. It's our last in the Cocos Keeling series before we move onward to Chagos.
Wishing you all one hell of a weekend, and please know that we are eternally grateful for all your support, love, and wishes. Mr. Brady, Kazza, and Breeyawn.
Happy Friday Patrons!!! This is a really fun one and it should be a great start to the weekend for ya' :)
The girls were actually on the radio at Cocos Keeling and had an absolute blast with a guest DJ appearance. While the boys had a proper mans day with spear fishing, fires, and of course calling in on the request line.
Enjoy! Peace and Love from Breeyawn, Kazza, and Mr. Brady chillin' in Madagascar.
CONGRATULATIONS to Adrian Pasdar from CA, USA!!

Hello Delos Tribe! We are in Madagascar with new batteries, a shining sun, and decent internet :) That means we are going to be able to post more videos over the coming months, and get closer to our current location! Instead of our planned 2 series videos per month we plan on posting 3 or maybe even 4 if we can.
We know a lot of you are on budgets or saving up for your own cruise so we wanted to make sure everyone knew how to limit the monthly pledges on Patreon. Just ...

Thanks for your support guys! We were able to get new batteries after our old ones went bad here in Madagascar. Now we can get back to editing some more vids for ya :) Cheers to you!
Sometimes you gotta let loose and party like there's no tomorrow :) This is a really fun one and you might wanna grab something cold (probably with alcohol) to enjoy while watching......
Thanks so much for the support Delos Tribe! We're sending you lot's of love from Madagascar. Breeyawn, Braidster, and Kazza.
Happy Friday Delos Patrons! This vid is all about snorkeling, drone flying, spear fishing, normal fishing, and making moonshine to keep the troops fed :) I had a lot of fun editing this one and hope it kicks the weekend off right for you.

We had an awesome afternoon of sailing the other day and wanted to share this short video with you! We now have Gregg and Chayanne on board in Madagascar (crew contest winners) and we were practicing some sail trim.
This is the first of many we plan to release for PATRONS ONLY, and all these videos will be released as a special bonus and not considered part of the series videos contribution, it's just a special thank you!

Well hello Patrons and Happy Happy Friday! Cocos really blew us away with it's beauty and we wanted you to be the first to see this video :)
If you ever get the chance to sail to Cocos give it no second thought, it really is worth it!
Kazza edited this one so really hope you enjoy.
Fair Winds, Peace, and Love from Breeyawn, Kazza, and Mr. Brady.
Hey guys! We have a little mid-week bonus for you :) We're really excited about the new gear we've purchased for this season and wanted to share some **CURRENT** footage with you of our last sail around the top of Madagascar.
Oh yeah, almost forgot! The new stuff we mentioned is a GoPro Hero 4 Black and a Panasonic GH4. We're having fun, getting dangerously addicted to filming in Slow Mo, and having an absolute blast :)

We hit 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 all sleep deprived, hungry, and knocked silly when we finally reach our turning point and point the bow at C...
Ahoy Matey! We're so excited to show you this episode! We think it does a pretty good job of showing the good, and not so good, of being at sea in rough conditions.
Without your continued support this adventure just wouldn't be possible and we want you to know we are humbled and blown away by your generosity and kindness.
Wishing you the best of weekends! Delos sends Peace and Love from the Indian Ocean.

After having to heave to at the equator from a massive squall, the weather calms enough for us to put the pollywogs though an equator crossing ceremony.
