Send us Q&A's + HURRICANE Update!

Hey hey Patron fam, it's Jordan here :)  I spoke with Brian and Kazza last night and they are all prepared for the incoming weather and feeling good about their choice to anchor in San Carlos.  I just took this screen shot of the conditions now (Thursday afternoon) and it looks like the worst should be passing now.  It looks like they should be seeing about 30 knots sustained, probably with some gusts up into the 40's.  They said they probably won't have much reception tod...

Running from Hurricanes (Again)- Patrons Only

Real Time Update- Sept 4th, 2022 Ahoy Tribe!  Well it seems we've been a hurricane magnet of sorts lately....  We wanted to give you a little update on what's been going on.  Wish us luck!  Course update- We’re headed for San Carlos!  After seeing today’s forecast for the impending hurricane we decided to bail on our plans to ride it out in a hurricane hole in Baja.  Seemed like a better idea to sail towards the mainland and out of the projec...

Our SCARIEST Moment In 13 Years of Sailing around the world 😱 Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 382

Have you ever wondered what our scariest moment at sea has been?  We recount some of our most harrowing tales at sea as we set sail on our 500 mile, 4 day passage to Mexico!  We wave goodbye to Costa Rica with a pretty average weather forecast, but after being greeted by some bioluminescent dolphin torpedos at night, Brian's first Yahtzee, and some truly stunning sunsets at sea, the passage turns out to be just peachy after all.  We hope you enjoy this episode which is part 1 o...

Sometimes I feel like QUITTING YOUTUBE...

Hey there beautiful amigos,

Here's a little something we wanted to get off our chest that happened this week.  We wanted to share it here as well and make sure that you all can see why we are so grateful for your support.  Lots of people have this idea in their head that all YouTubers are rich and have the easiest job in the world...but by choosing to support us here you are acknowledging the amount of work, love, blood, sweat and tears that have gone into this project for ove...

Little Update and Costa Rica Desktop Backgrounds just for you!

Hey Hey Patrons!

We wanted to film another little update for you this week, but things have been pretty crazy for us lately.  Kazza has been extremely sick for the last week, bedridden with crazy fever and really strange and worrying symptoms.  Thanks to the help of so many people, we managed to make the two day sail and get her the medical help she needs, and she is starting to do much better.  It turned out to be Salmonella, pretty scary stuff- we made a post on instagr...

Real Time Update Just For You!

Hej  Hej guys and gals!

It's been too long since we had a proper catch up with you all, so we decided to sit down and give you the scoop on what we've been up to.  So far the Sea of Cortez has been an absolute dream, and we are so excited to give you our first little glimpse of this new cruising ground for us.  The video pretty much speaks for itself, but there is one point that I wanted to elaborate on a little bit more here...

Since completing my circumnavigation ...

See you in Annapolis! Oct 13th - 17th

Ahoy Delos Tribe!  We had so much fun last year meeting everyone it looks like this year the Annapolis Sailboat Show is a "go" again for us so hope to see you there!  We're gonna have another Patrons party this year (same venue), some times at the YouTube booth, and hopefully a presentation about my circumnavigation as well.  More details to come on all that later....

For now please save the date, and if you'd like to pre-purchase your tickets AND get a di$count AND suppo...

A Wave of Death 😱 It killed EVERYTHING...

Hola beautiful friends!

We proudly present to you this week’s new episode!  We wrap up our time in the Gulf of Nicoya which has been one of our favourite parts of Costa Rica. It is so tranquil and calm there, and sooo insanely beautiful….well at least it was until we woke up in the middle of hot, stinky, mass grave of THOUSANDS of dead fish. We found ourselves in the middle of a red tide event (we give you the run down on everything you need to know about red tides in the video...

Will This JUNGLE SHIP Disrupt a BILLION DOLLAR Industry? Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 379

We are BEYOND stoked to be writing you today from the Sea of Cortez!  We maaaaaade it and it feels amazing!  In the few short days that we've been here, it's already living up to all the hype.  We even busted out the scuba gear for the first time since Panama and dove on a shipwreck where we met one of the friendliest (dare I even say TOO friendly 😳) turtles we've ever seen.  The one downside however, and though it is no surprise at all and we've been building ourselves...

We survived...Costa Rica is WILD! Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 378

Buckle up for a super fun episode Patrons!  Join us in the Gulf of Nicoya as we finally find the calm protected, tranquil slice of paradise we thought we were looking for...And instead of enjoying the peace and quiet we decide to just go completely crazy 🤪 Mud fights on the beach, homemade margaritas from wild mangos we picked that will singe the hair off your eyebrows, and Sierra's first trip to prison!  Throw in some rowdy howler monkeys and a sassy beach fashion show from Kazz...

Day of DISASTERS! Boat Life Sucks Sometimes 😬 Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 377

Hello beautiful DELOS TRIBE!

Get ready for a cracker of an episode from the one and only Killa Kiril!  We are writing you today from the marina in Puerto Vallarta (still 😬😬😬).  Our plans have been getting one curve ball thrown after another at them.  We were hoping to be on our way to La Paz for a couple weeks now, but after our entire boat turning into an air conditioned test tube of germs and coughing, we sort of ran out of time to leave because Mormor already ...

NEW Hooded Rashguards (You asked, we delivered!)

Hola lovely Delos Tribe 💕💕💕

We got sooo many comments and messages from you all wondering where you can pick up one of these sweet hooded rashguards I've been sporting in the videos.  It's taken some time because we wanted to make sure the product is absolutely perfect, but they are ready, amazing, and officially for sale 😁 We also added a women's option too!  Since we have limited quantities, we wanted to offer them up to our Patrons so you can have first dibs. Th...

We sailed 7 MONTHS to this UTOPIA! Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 376

Hey hey! Hope everyone is geared up for an amazing weekend! Things are pretty slow around here on Delos. Kazza and Sierra are both sick right now so we decided to stay a little longer in Puerto Vallarta so they can make a full recovery in the comfort of air conditioning and easy marina life. Unfortunately Jordan and I are pretty unwell today too, but ours is self inflicted after a pool party that got a little rowdy… so we really cant complain!

We hope you enjoy this week’s episode c...

Most Bizarre 24 Hours of Our Lives 🙃 SV Delos Ep. 375

Hola Patrons! We’re coming’ at ya again from our cozy spot here in the marina in Puerto Vallarta. We are fully recovered from the obscene amount of margaritas we consumed last weekend for the circumnavigation party, and currently we are hanging out with fam that’s still in town and making our last preparations to take off towards La Paz!

This week’s episode was a super fun one to put together, mostly because it’s basically 20 minutes of us cracking stupid jokes to each other, ...

We unlocked the secret to burn free butts!

Ahoy Patrons!

We’re back with a new episode hot off the press! We made it home to Delos after our trip to Florida and it feels great to be back....with the exception of course of dealing with the inevitable broken stuff that we always seem to return to (even though we were only gone like 4 days).  Our AC was broken when we got back, which wouldn't be a big deal on anchor but in the marina where there's no breeze whatsoever, this was a full on CRISIS 😂  Luckily Brian was u...

A little update from us, happy/sad days...

Hi there patrons, just wanted to send you a quick update. We are currently in Florida visiting my mom (left photo). She has been battling with Parkinson’s for some time now and was just placed in Hospice care, and while we were in Puerto Vallarta in a safe marina with easy airport access we decided it would be the best time to fly home and get in a little quality time with her. We also got to catch up with some other family and Sierra even got to meet her great grandmother (my grandma), &nb...

Patrons Only Circumnavigation Bash in Mexico July 9th, 2022!

Ahoy Tribe!  I know it's super short notice but we just arrived into Puerto Vallarta and want to celebrate!  The local Yacht Club kindly offered us their facilities, and things sort of fell into place.  Delos is just a stones throw away from the yacht club and it's a great chance to kick back and hang with Brian, Kazza, Baby Nuggs, and Jordan along with many other salty sailor types.  If you could join us for a celebration and make a vacation/holiday at the same time out o...

RIDICULOUS Anchor Fees! Would you pay? SV Delos Ep 373

Buenos Dias Amigos!  We just arrived in Puerto Vallarta yesterday after our last passage up the coast from Barra de Navidad.  We are safe and sound from the latest spinning thing (3rd of the season so far) and tied up in the Paradise Village marina, a good hurricane hole where we'll spend a few weeks.  After a good nights sleep we were able to finish up this video and get it uploaded to you.  It's a really great video about exploring and scuba diving a very special place i...

FISH ON!!! We're back to Sailing, Fishing, and Babes 😉 SV Delos ep 372

Ahoy Tribe!  Well hurricane Blas went by last night.  We're tucked in really good at Barra de Navidad.  Most wind we saw was 40 knots.  Still a bit unnerving to be so close but we are okay and hope to set sail again for Puerto Vallarta this weekend.  Sending you all many hugs and good vibes and hope you enjoy this weeks video!  Brian, Karin, Baby Nugs, and Jordan

Untie from the dock, set up the deep sea fishing gear, and point the bow at the horizon.  ...

WELCOME To THE PACIFIC! Panama Canal MINI DOCO (Part 2 of 2) SV Delos Ep 371

Ahoy Tribe! We proudly present part two of our trip through the Panama canal! This was such an incredible milestone for us, and felt like a real part of Delos history.  We are so stoked to share our experience with you on this one!  

We just arrived in Zihuatanejo on Wednesday, and after checking the weather again saw that there is another system moving in, so we’re hightailing it outta here today and making some miles north out of its path.  Mother nature is definitely...

PANAMA CANAL by SAILBOAT - How It Works MINI DOCO (Part 1 of 2) SV Delos Ep 370

Ahoy tribe!  Well it just so happens that a fellow Patron is here in Chiapas getting work done on their boat in the yard, and invited us over to their rental house.  Not only did they feed us delicious food but also let us squat long enough on their wi-fi to get this video uploaded :). Thanks so much guys for that!  A whole bunch of love went into this episode and you can definitely see Jordan's editing and filming shine through.  We know that there are a lot of Panama Can...

We made it to Mexico! Patron Real Time Update May 26 2022

Ahoy Tribe!  We wanted to do this real-time update to let you know our plans and what we've been up to.  Mostly sitting in the marina and waiting for this strange spinning thing to pass by.  Unfortunately we don't have a normal video for you this Friday....  We're just putting the final touches on a really cool Panama Canal video that we've been editing.  Super excited about that as it's a bit different and includes lot's of canal history.  We're in a satellite h...

SNAPPER-LICIOUS! Catch and Cook & Almost Cave Diving Disaster. SV Delos Ep 369

Ahoy Tribe!  We left Costa Rica a few days ago and after a 4 day, 500nm sail we just arrived in Chiapas, MEXICO :)  It feels really good to have made that big jump and begin working our way up the coast!  So that's why the video is a bit late this week, but we figure better late than never right?!?!  This weeks video is really cool and has lot's of cozy vibes.  We hope you enjoy it as much as we do and wishing you a happy weekend!  XXOO- Brian, Karin, and Baby Nu...

CROC HUNTERS of San Blas. SV Delos Ep 368

Happy Friday Delos Tribe!  We're now in a little place called Marina Papagayo in Costa Rica, just shy of the border with Nicaragua.  We pulled into a lovely marina here to provision the boat, fuel up, and check out of Costa Rica.  Over the next  week or so we'll be hopping up the coast with Mexico in our sights!  Sending lot's of love from all onboard and hoping that you have a fantastic weekend.  XXOO- Brian, Karin, and Baby Nuggs

We go in search of the on...

Exploring a Traditional Kuna Village. SV Delos Ep 367

We finally get a chance to explore a traditional Kuna Village!  After weeks of exploring the outer islands we get word of a Kuna Independence Celebration, and apparently it's cool if we rock up and join the festivities.  So we pull up the hook and set sail East to Isla Tigres, a Kuna Village of about 1,500 people.  After a very sporty sail through a bunch of reefs we arrive to find the celebration starting early in the morning.  It's a full on reenactment of the battle tha...

Perfectly Cooked Eyeball & A Broken Toilet. SV Delos Ep 366

Ahoy Tribe!  We  made it to our next stop in Costa Rica- Nicoya Gulf!  We spent a few days at a deserted island with some abandoned buildings that were full of Mango trees.  So we decided to make nachos and drink Mango Margaritas!   Yummy.  We also took some time to edit our latest video.  Really hope you like it, it's a cool one with some interesting characters and cozy vibes.  Have a fantastic weekend and please check out the video description be...

Desktop Backgrounds! (Patrons Only Bonus)

Ahoy Tribe!  If you've seen the recent updates you know Delos and crew have been on the move for the last few weeks :)  First there was the Panama Canal Transit, then our sail from Panama City through the amazing islands on the Pacific Coast of Panama, and most recently our voyage to Costa Rican waters.  

It's been an incredible experience for us, and luckily we have Jordan onboard to help with everything.  But it's also been incredibly intense with planning, prepara...

NOMADIC & FREE: Family Life at Sea! SV Delos Ep. 364

Ahoy Delos Tribe!  We hope you had a fantastic week.  We spent the last week sailing from Panama City to our current position just a stones throw from the Costa Rica border.  And just in time to upload this weeks video :). Hope you enjoy and have a fantastic weekend!  XXOO- Brian, Karin, and Baby Nuggs
