We Make MISTAKES…THIS Isn’t One Of Them. Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 454

We've made all kinds of blunders over the years...Plenty of moments spring to mind from sailing at full speed right into a reef, running aground more times than we can even keep track of, and so many others...some comical, some truly stupid, some a bit scary...but a few months ago when we decided to make that awful upwind sail from The Tuamotus back to the Marquesas Islands to avoid cyclone season, we're happy to report now that all of our suffering turned out to be worth it, as two big swirling red balls were now filling up our screen when we checked the weather forecast. It had been a longggg few months here too, and honestly it has been one of the tougher times we've had on Delos in a while. The Marquesas Islands are such a special place in so many ways, but for the kind of cruising we enjoy and with the needs that we have with Sierra, well lets just say this was not our ideal living situation to say the least. But knowing that we made the right call to keep our family and our home safe made the months of rolling and struggling totally worth it.

It's crazy to think I have been watching you guys for over 10 years 😮

It's so nice to hear your intro song again that I get goosebumps! I associate the song with your videos and is the best 20 minutes every Friday. Thanks for filming and letting us follow you guys on youtube

Thank you for putting Delos’ song back in the new intro. We love it btw!! Stay safe 🥰

Gotta have the song guy’s!!..it’s part of your DNA!..didn’t know how much i missed it until I heard it!..🇦🇺

Whispered “that’s what she said!” Was brilliant!
-
The harmonica fit the situation so perfectly😅 I would never have known if you hadn't panned over to her.

Bryan's voice is so soothing. I think of it when having a restless night and it really does help! Haha! Not saying he's boring, not at all.
-
YESSSS! So glad to hear the song again!
-
Back in Florida after years. Been watching since the beginning, glad you took my advice to separate your apples, bananas, and avocados. Hope all is well. I’m in Key Largo often would love to see you next time you’re near Lauderdale again! Take care Delos crew!

How cool would it be if Brady could buy Delos! I have a feeling that the opportunity would be offered, I just hope they can pull it together if that's what they want! #keepitinthefamily

It is so great that you are featuring Kazza's eyes (with view, lighting, etc.) in this video like you did several years ago!

Hi Brian, Kazza and Sierra. I love your videos and have been watching since the stormy sail to Madascar. I watch the early pre-dawn hours with coffee in the cockpit, the hours of sailing, the joy and the misery. I only wish I could hear the soft wash of the water against the hull, the birds in the trees, the wind in the rigging. That takes me back to my days sailing to Catalina Island. But alas, I have to miss those comforting sounds because of the droning music in the foreground of the videos. I'm sure there are people who watch that insist the music helps them to appreciate the videos more, I'm just not one of them. So forgive me if I have to send a negative thought. I do love watching you and your loving family and appreciate the effort it must take to make everyone happy. Looking forward to many more in the building of your new Delos 2 cat and the many, many more miles of sailing. Sharon Maruca

Nothing beats sailing with a full moon and calm waters and good wind! I miss that!

You two are excellent sailors. It’s great when you can look back and see decisions made were the right ones.
