The final countdown is HERE! This is our last episode before we embark on our Pacific Crossing, and it's a super fun one! We welcome our our last addition to the crew, Conor, who many of you might recognize from our COVID lockdown crew in the Bahamas, and he also joined us onboard Delos when we transited the Panama Canal. Both Conor and Hannah bring SO MUCH stoke and good vibes, and we were all absolutely buzzing as we charged our way through our final to do list before depa...

Hey Hey everyone! We are getting sooo excited to share the next episodes with you. Today’s video is part 1 of 2 as we document the process of preparing Delos and us for our Pacific Crossing. Stoke levels were ridiculous on board as the reality of the undertaking ahead of us began to sank in. We arrive to La Paz and immediately dive in to our never ending list of boat jobs like provisioning all the dry goods, trying to get to the bottom of our faulty transmission (this saga will continue int...

Happy Friday everyone! We are happily posting this episode after making landfall in Fatu Hiva after 19 days at sea :) This episode is over a decade in the making, and we are so excited to share it with you all. Just in case some of you are newer followers and haven't watched our earlier videos, long before little Sierra was running around the boat, and even before I laid eyes on my beautiful Swedish princess Kazza for the first time, my brother Brady was a part of the Delos story....

Ahoy beautiful friends!
We've been getting so many comments lately from you all about how much you enjoy the boat project videos, so we thought it would be cool to do a super in depth episode all about installing our new watermaker, plus a full run down on how they actually work which I think is pretty cool! Obviously we hopped back a little bit in time for this one, but we wanted to also include our review of the system and it's performance so we waited about a month after installing t...

Ahoy friends! Our trip south continues with some GORGEOUS conditions! Even if it was a bit chilly we were absolutely loving the winter in the Sea of Cortez compared to our trip up which was mostly motoring through a windless swimming pool and sweating a lot haha. Now we had awesome wind and Delos was eating up the miles like a machine, it felt SO AMAZING!
Our introduction back into cruiser life after our long break honestly couldn't have been better. We found some rela...

The feeling of splashing Delos after months of going at in the boat yard is pretty hard to beat. The relief of having so much hard work behind us, having the sense of freedom returned, feeling like everything is ready, Delos is in amazing shape, we've got food and water and everything we need to survive on board...and now we can go anywhere or do anything we want in the world. THAT is what sailing is all about, and that is what makes all the blood, sweat, and tears worthwhile.

Don't worry, soooo many things would break in the weeks that followed so if boat project videos are your thing we still have plenty more coming for ya 😂 I saved the "best" (worst?) for last and as our splash date approached it was finally time to tackle the beast of a project of replacing our transmission.

Hola friends!
We're back this week with part 3 of of our boat yard chronicles. This one's a bit of a mixed bag of projects, but the biggest one was definitely fixing the furler for the genoa. (A huge shoutout to Chris and Jeff who helped design and machine the parts!) I really enjoy projects like this that involve a lot of creativity. A lot of stars had to align to make this one happen including tracking down a retired Swiss guy who used to make the original parts and ...

Here comes part 2 of our boat yard adventures, and we're starting to wonder if we've bitten off more than we can chew 😂 Haul outs are always a struggle, so we really shouldn't be suprised at this point that everything always takes way longer and turns out to be more difficult than planned. We had our trip booked to Sweden already to visit Kazza's family, and we wanted to get as much done as possible while Ryan was still there to help, so with the clock ticking we ...

Ahoy lovely Delos Tribe! We have a really fun episode for you today :) We kick things off in the engine room for some sweaty tinkering. The generator was acting up AGAIN which seems to be an ongoing theme for our Sea of Cortez episodes 😂 And then the time has finally come to wrap up this season of sailing and head north on an over night motor to Puerto Penasco where we would be hauling out for our 9th time on this trip around the world.
It feels like SO LONG ago that we c...

Hey Hey Fam! We're super excited to share this episode with you from one of the most beautiful and wild destinations we've ever encountered. This little slice of paradise is called Refugio (which means refuge in English) and we can definitely see why. It felt like we were anchored in the middle of the most scenic and picturesque swimming pool in the universe. With rolling green hills, cactus dotted hillsides, and perfect white sand beaches, refugio was pretty easy on t...

Get ready to smile on this lovely Friday 😁
This week's episode was SO FUN to put together, and we really hope you enjoy it! The season was winding down as we, Calico, and One Life were all about to haul out and go our seperate ways for a few months, so we decided to have one last hurrah all together. A crew swap day, an epic beach games battle, some neon- blue booze from Panama, and a rhinestone bow tie all mixed together to make an event to remember.

If you recall from the last episodes when we talked about the hurricane hole that we diverted away from at the last minute to go to San Carlos instead, this is the anchorage. &nb...

There were some familiar faces and plenty of new ones too. And it was so cool that the owners of the bar we hosted it at are actually a part of the Delos Tribe too, so it was good vibes all around. It sounds cheesy but it's hard to put into words how special it is when we have these e...

We proudly present Part 1 of one of the most intense experiences we've ever had on board. As Hurricane Kay began to develop, we quickly realized that we needed to start making some moves- not only to try and create distance between ourselves and its projected path, but also because our insurance would only cover anything that might happen to Delos in a named storm if we were north of a certain latitude. But the decision of how we should respond was for from easy to make- as ...

Hey all you lovely Patrons! We have some exciting news! As you might know we're down here in Puerto Penasco (Rocky Point), Sonora, Mexico about a 4 hour drive from Phoenix. Many boat projects are underway and we hope to be splashing Delos in about 2 weeks.
Before we put Delos back in the water and set sail for the South Pacific we'd absolutely love to get together, have a few margaritas, and share a few laughs.
Would anyone be keen to do a meet up with us in Puerto Pen...

It wouldn't be Friday without another crisis on board to share with you 😂 After Kazza made a full recovery from her scary run in with Salmonella poisoning, it finally felt like everything was right again in our floating world.

But the next day, mother nature had a different present for us in mind, and things went sideways RE...

We pull up to another picture perfect anchorage surrounded by gorgeous clear water, perfect beaches, cactus dotted hillsides and mountains...it wasn't until the sun began to set that we realized there was a secret lurking, waiting to terrorize us. It's so wild how something so tiny can absolutely destroy such an otherwise perfe...
