Howdy Delos! I retired today and my search for a boat begins soon! I’ll be visiting Puerto Peñasco and Puerto Vallarta in my initial search. My children will be helping with the search! Can’t wait to see how your build progresses! Fair winds and following seas!
So cool that Sierra is old enough to begin going along on an easy snorkeling mission! So many wonderful things for her to experience for the first time.
It is wild watching two of your fav sailing channels, each from when they first started, have now become best friends in front of your eyes. Great for you both, fantastic for Sierra to be around two more amazing adults enriching her life experiences. Well done Delos and VA. Cheers and fair winds
Welcome to Bris and Straddie, little colder than Bora Bora currently but we hope you settle in well and enjoy your time here during your build. Looking forward to watching the journey until you're back on the blue.
She told Warren, that suns to hot. Lol Only from a child living the boat life. I don't think other children her age even play outside any longer. She is living the BEST LIFE 🩷🌊🦈
Excited for this next chapter. Last week I kept thinking how many times over the years I have watched your haul outs. Thank you for sharing the memories with us!
Hey you three, I've been watching for about 3 years now but this is my first comment here! I'm 19 years old and am just now really getting the taste of life outside school. I just wanted to say a big thank you, you guys are a big inspiration and great role models! Enjoy your week!
I feel like I met you guys during covid by binge watching past episodes. You were living the sailing life while I was building my 4x4 land yacht. I did solar and lithium power so close to your conversion that we both have been living off grid the same amount of time. Congrats on your next adventure to build an aluminum Cat! I look forward to seeing your build progress. Cheers from AZ desert. I get to escape to a wonderful water adventure with every episode. Thanks!
Found you from the “Exploring Alternatives” video. Then we binge watched, starting at season 8 until now. Exceptional work on so many levels. So glad to of found you, learn about sailing and all the beauty cruising life brings.
One of the best RUclips channels out there. You're beautiful beautiful people. I get so much excitement watching you're channel since I became disabled in 2019😢. Miss the diving the most
Need to say thank you so much... You guys gave me a time out & a little soul searching being very depressed just finding out one of our biker girlfriend found out the pain in her back is stage 4 cancer.... I bring this up not to bring anyone down, but to say don't wait to explore set out living a life that fits who you are. you alone come & go in this crazy world so make the best of it.. Thx Delos for years of places,people & growing with you as the pass 11 years....has giving us a place to be~ peace,,, love ya y'll ..
Hey buddy- So sorry to hear about your friend. That’s a damn shame…. It compels me to think about how much our health means and to seize each and every day. Thank you for following along with us for so long and sending lot’s of good vines your way.
I don't know much about sailing but i have followed you guys for a few years now. All i can say is. If you can afford it, get a catamaran. Its alot more spacious and stable. And with the little one growing up, you can definitly use the space. Also..... From the bottom of my heart i wish to thank you for your videos Brian, Kazza and Sierra! I found your channel when covid just started and your weekly video's (especially around the "Two Titty Yaught club) actually helped me get through the lonely times that were covid for alot of people (myself included). I wish we could meet up one day and have a few cold ones! Thank you so much Delos crew!
I hope Nugz gets to visit Wawwen & Ewica again real soon. I love how you bring out everyone’s inner child, Nugz. Keep using that unicorn magic, little sistar 🌟 What a great episode. Love that snorkel drift. 🤩
Good Luck on the new adventures and welcome to Sunny Queensland for as long as you are all here for, I can't wait to see the progress on the Catamaran,
Nugget at the end of the vlog … priceless. Good luck with the build it will be worth all the highs and lows in the end. You could probably still have a similar electrical system for your sails on Delos 2.0
These are really some beautiful pictures from your trips and inspiring people to do this The sunset and cooking of Mahi Mahi was a perfect ending of that evening.
When running deep we run a 3rd wide sheet for the Genoa aft and down to the toe rail. It keeps the sail full and away from the spreader. You can do the same with a barber haul or tweaker. Some cats run another sheet from the Genoa clew forward to the bow to really brace it. Can't wait to see your new boat.
I find it amazing that all these ships were built in one part of the world or another and then go on these enormous journey's with relatively little technology reltatively routinely. Amazng stories. Considering the age of that wreck it's in really good condition! Be careful talking to people in air pockets - they're usually from exhaled air from divers but as the ships rust/decay they can use up the oxygen in them, if the mixture is hypoxic oxygen will actively diffuse the opposite way through your lungs and youi'll very quickly black out...
I am excited for you guys! You have spent a lot of years on a monohull and now that Sierra is here, the space will be so wonderful and like you said you don’t have to step down into the cabin anymore as you will be living on top with beautiful surrounding views. I totally get though how you are more “one” with the ocean when you’re underway, you are feeling more of what’s happening between vessel and the sea. I think you are making a good change. SO EXCITING,!🌊❤️
Thanks so much Gina, yes we feel exactly the same! Of course we will miss some things about Delos but overall the change will be so good for all of us! Thanks for following along the journey and sharing in the excitement with us 🥰
That teasing at the end was a crime! Love you guys, excited for the new project. A bit sad that Delos is now mostly the past but she will always be remembered.
You're going to miss Delos forever I think even as you enjoy your new cat. The boat gave you memories of a lifetime. Wonderful video, esp Sierra and Warren and Erica's friendship on display. That little one of yours has got some serious personality. ❤
I love the love ❤️ hahaha, hope for the future. I hope to live this life one day and this is what I see in my mind. Thanks for bringing me along Brian, Kaz, and nug! It's so fun to be with you. I know it's taxing, but the joy yall bring to the world is priceless. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
You guys should be so proud of yourself for coming such a long way! Great job, and thanks for brining us with you. Cheers to all your next adventures friends!!
I don’t have a prejudice either way… I like both. I want to live aboard… if I can get together a big enough budget, then for me cats tick more off the list. For me a mono would only be a cost option. And if you want that mono buzz take an old Laser with you… room on the catamaran deck.
So wonderful to see living coral and a vibrant ecosystem. And hey those boat drinks look amazing (Sierra's included.) Swing beach at Timanu's = magical. What a beautiful way hang together! Hugs!
I guess if u r a sailing traditionalist and your priority is in the feeling a monohull gives you as you are heeling over and cutting thru the waves, then your new boat will be a monohull. The cataraman seems to have more pluses than minuses in the comparison of the two. For a family with a Sierra, I would think you would be leaning toward a cataraman which, foot for foot, would be a more expensive boat. Can't wait until you reveal which direction you go and then decide on the boat and introduce her to everybody......... gonna be fun! Thanks for allowing us to tag along. BTW, you seem to keep great friends..... Warren and Erica were delightful!
That decision was revealed long ago... it's been discussed several times in the last 6 months or so, the name of this video is "Why We’re Building A Catamaran"... there is no secret to reveal, other than seeing the progress so far.
Back up a bit he said he could count the amount of times he sailed a catamaran on his fingers and toes....I really don't want to see his feet if it is a dozen
My husband had sailed small hats and then Mahal’s ranging from 22 feet up to maybe 40 with others on board of course to help then we were asked by some friends to captain a 60 foot catamaran in the BVI for four couples that go to someplace in the Caribbean each year for their vacation we were ecstatic of course, immediately said yes he had never sailed anything that huge before but he is a very skilled sailor and we went through a training course about all the electronics on board lol……… Turned out to be an amazing week! We went snorkeling every day, had two divers on board and their dive spots were pre-programmed into my husband‘s handheld marine GPS ……we had the time of our lives hopping around to all of the different BVI islands !!!
Hi Brian. Thank you for all you guys do and share! I'm very excited to see your Delos 2.0 boat build details. I'm an engineer who know nothing about boats, but I had a thought regarding the wave slapping issue on the flat connection between the two hulls. The force of the wave slap that translates into the jolt and noise is going to be a function of the speed of the wave contact and the surface area the wave hits all at once. If this connection was an arch instead of a flat surface, as the wave rises, the contact would happen over a longer time and the final crown of the arch would be a much smaller surface area which should result in a much smaller jolt and noise. Even if the hull is already built with a flat connection, I am thinking a "false" hull arch could still provide a large improvement in the wave slapping issue. Maybe this is obvious and something you already considered. Best wishes.
I smiled when you said sweet downwind non-Rollie sailing. The advancement of technology I am the last generation that knows how to double clutch a Porsche and they gave me a big smile when you mentioned downward sailing rolling because I had forgotten that because I haven’t sailed in so many years. Riding the rollers between Saint Thomas and St. John up towards Yost Van Dyke are as much fun if you’re good at and love the art of canceling rolling as can be had. The fetch is 400 miles. Through a four mile gap. On an average day they’re 12 feet. I’ve also sailed an Amel. I took a shift headed east from the USVs to St Martin. I don’t know it would behave downwind. Pointing and reaching I found it to be sluggish and a big rocking horse compared to my Beneteau. I don’t know whether while surfing that would inure to your benefit. Or not. My takeaway from my 12 hour passage was that if I were going to live on a sailboat it would be an Amel. Even if I needed a crew member.
I'm glad that you three had such a good time on VA with friends. Sierra's going to make a great sailor one day! I think that you'll love having your own cataraman. You probably already have considered the negative aspects of aluminum (or "aluminium" as the Brits say it!), however, Brian: #1. Because it doesn't flow through those waves like a monohull, it can be noisier as it slams into the waves. #2. Corrosion will be a problem; you'll have to figure out just how to use a more reactive metal (like zinc) as a sacrificial anode -- and that's going to require constant attention. #3. Metal fatique will be a danger: aluminum doesn't flex well at all (a minimum deformation limit) so will eventually break. #4. It won't just be difficult, but more expensive, to put on some kind of antifouling agent on aluminum -- it's easier to do on fiberglass. Good luck! And I look forward to following you into your sailing future! 👍🤟🏻
That sewing machine looks amazing! I personally can see you guys another mono-hull ... just way bigger. 150+ foot, triple-mast, engine room with a machine shop, massive crew, dive launch ... Brian you the captain bro!
I was always for you folks getting a Cat ...The roomyness alone. Also the speed, like 20+ knots.. I'm sure you will have plenty of cargo ..I only crewed on monohulls as a teenager... Best to you.
Oh, my gosh! That shot of Sierra sleeping, my gosh, she is becoming so beautiful! You guys are going g to have some problems in about 12 years. I know, because I used to be the one that caused a lot of the problems. Luv u guys, Dr Merrithew. Oh, and, by the way, I'm starting my dream sail this weekend. Sailing from Michigan to the Caribbean. See u out there somewhere
I've been watching for a few years and love you guys. I've learned a lot and it has helped me many times on our 30' sailboat.. this episode was epic and what a massive step. A new boat and an aluminum cat!!! How exciting. You guys deserve all the blessings 🙏. Can't wait to see the new girl. What are you naming her?? delos 2.0?
I feel that Delos quality channel is returning to it's original level, obviously without taking anything away from Blue and Bryan because I miss them dearly. Your move to a Catamaran is a great one. Love, OsoYolo, Antigua Guatemala.
People who do not use compressed air to dive to depths greater than 66 feet (scuba diving) do not understand the issues of nitrogen saturation and the limited time that a human can dwell at various depths. Planned dives are critical! Overall, this is one of your better videos. Which is saying a LOT! Your channel (to me) is the standard by which all other sailing channels are judged. Consistency of great video quality, content, impact, editing, transitions, and connections are unmatched by any other channel.
Wow! *Good* for you family!! I know you've seen many things. With the cat., the possibilities are increased even further with draft concerns lessened. Enjoy Gango•Pangos!!! 🙏🦉
Just a little google about one from my backyard ;-) The iron barque Nordby with skipper H. Christiansen was in the archipelago of the Company Islands in French Polynesia, where on 20 August 1900 it sailed from Tahiti 200 km to the northwest to the coral island of Raiatea, to complete the cargo of 120 tons of copra destined for Liverpool. The next morning the ship arrived off the inlet to Raiatea, where a pilot's flag was hoisted, but no pilot came out and after some waiting the ship nevertheless sailed in through the passage and went to anchor. Ballast was thrown out under a stiff east-southeasterly storm and current, whereby the ship, however, drifted and ran aground on a coral reef. From the following day, every effort was made to bring the ship afloat, to which part of the crew from a French warship contributed, but when the ship slipped from the reef on 26 August, it sank in deep water, whereby both ship and cargo were lost. The wreck was sold for 420 francs. Hans Christiansen Born: 17 Oct 1852 in Odden, Fanø Denmark Baptised: 24 Oct 1852 in Nordby Church, Fanø Death: 4 June 1912 in Odden, Fanø Buried: 9 June 1912 in Nordby Church, Fanø Position: Master, ship owner and ferry operator His father: Captain and shipowner Jens Hansen Christiansen His mother: Karen Pedersdatter Clausen Married 19 Oct 1880 in Nordby Church, Fanø Wife: Mette Kolster Born: 19 March 1858 in Odden, Fanø Denmark Baptised: 4 Apr 1858 in Nordby Church, Fanø Death: 4 Jan 1916 in Odden, Fanø Buried: 9 Jan 1916 in Nordby Church, Fanø Her father: Captain Mathias Johansen Kolster Her mother: Dorte Marie Pedersdatter They had no children, but a foster daughter, Emilie Alber, born 13 Feb. 1889, adopted 4 March 1892. Emilie was the daughter of dyer Hans Puggård Alber and wife Maren Laurette Hansen. He had a dye shop in Mågårds Hus at Kikkebjergvej 13. Emilie Alber owned Krogvej 2 and 5 according to the Registrant. Emilie remained unmarried and was a seamstress.
Loved this little bit of history and connection to Fanø where my grandfather was born in 1902, although he was born in Sønderho! My grandfather sailed all around the world himself, finally ending up in San Francisco, and then eventually Seattle, where we live today! We love going back to Fanø whenever we can!
That was so incredible. What fantastic friends you have. I can’t wait till you get on your boat. That was so cool thank you guys. Sending love from LIZ in ⛵️🥰😘🇺🇸🇺🇸 California.
Very nice, sailing experiences are again back after all those sweet family & kid oriented movies. That, and more technical, building and nautical realities to come, I hope. Looking forward to it. ⚓⛵
I enjoy the ride on a Cat more, less banging compared to mono but in regard to power boat. Not sure on sailing but as always enjoy dreaming through yours.
I've done a couple dives wondering if I was on track then the wreck comes out of the haze - it's awesome - both a relief and exciting. Looking forward to the new awesome Cat. The views/reefs/beaches/islands/etc just fantastic there. You have a very blessed life! Donate for a Dream
Guys i hope you might share some infos about the tragedy of Bayesian Superyacht Sank recently you guys are Expert in sailing in my books. !! Cheers Delos !!
It's gonna be so odd seeing you guys on a different boat when it's all done 🤣 been watching you guys for probably 4 years now can't wait to see the new boat all done. I would love to do something like you guys
Is it a challenge doing all of those manual things with a little one? Keeping her safe the entire time would be a full time job I’d imagine. She is an amazing kid and so smart. All the best with your new adventure. I’d love an episode on travelling with a little and the safety of it all. ❤
This may be already covered in a previous episode, but what are you going to do with Delos herself when Delos 2.0 is finished?by the way the quality of the content is insane!! Keep it up!!!!
Howdy Delos! I retired today and my search for a boat begins soon! I’ll be visiting Puerto Peñasco and Puerto Vallarta in my initial search. My children will be helping with the search! Can’t wait to see how your build progresses!
Fair winds and following seas!
There's a few boats for sale here in Penasco. Hope your search goes well!
Sierra's little "and cut!" and hitting the camera outro is too precious!!!! So excited for DELOS 2.0!
So cool that Sierra is old enough to begin going along on an easy snorkeling mission! So many wonderful things for her to experience for the first time.
Although she's only piggy backing at this stagr😂❤. What a great way to grow up
It is wild watching two of your fav sailing channels, each from when they first started, have now become best friends in front of your eyes. Great for you both, fantastic for Sierra to be around two more amazing adults enriching her life experiences. Well done Delos and VA. Cheers and fair winds
Welcome to Bris and Straddie, little colder than Bora Bora currently but we hope you settle in well and enjoy your time here during your build. Looking forward to watching the journey until you're back on the blue.
I can't wait to see build progress.
"Where's the shade Warren?" Gotta love Sierra!
Mic DROP 🎤
She told Warren, that suns to hot. Lol
Only from a child living the boat life.
I don't think other children her age even play outside any longer. She is living the BEST LIFE 🩷🌊🦈

I feel like I met you guys during covid by binge watching past episodes. You were living the sailing life while I was building my 4x4 land yacht.

Im thrilled she has parents giving Sierra an expanded view of life
It's so good that the whole family is snorkeling together☺️ Your videos are always highlight in an otherwise dull week. Good luck on the new boat.

Wow, Warren and Erica are wonderful, and their catamaran is beautiful. Sierra is so adorable and happy. Health, wealth and success to you all!
I’m so excited for the next chapter and build of your cat!
You guys look so healthy and happy and relaxed. Love it
I think you guys unlocked a new level of chill, sailing on a catamaran
We're pretty stoked about catamaran life too! Can't wait to be bouncing on the trampoline and having spa days on Delos 2.0!!!
I hope Nugz gets to visit Wawwen & Ewica again real soon. I love how you bring out everyone’s inner child, Nugz.
Keep using that unicorn magic, little sistar 🌟
What a great episode. Love that snorkel drift. 🤩
An AMAZING end of an era! Brilliant perfection on Bora ❤🎉what a life! Congrats!!!!
Man, that beach on Bora Bora and the scenery. It makes me smile to know such beautiful places are out there... 😁😁😁
Good Luck on the new adventures and welcome to Sunny Queensland for as long as you are all here for, I can't wait to see the progress on the Catamaran,
Thanks so much for the well wishes Andrew!
My two favorites of all time. Delos and WE Sail! You gotta get back together at some point! Love you all!
YAY!!! My Friday fix,, Thanks Delos!! Love you guys!!
Thanks so much Cody, lots of love back at ya 🥰

Great buddy boat / friends to hang out with! Love the extended family we get watching you guys. Sierra is just tooooo much fun LOL
We think so too, they are the best and we miss them so much already!
Coffee engaged. Friday off and rolling!
Yes! Happy to help you kick off the day, hope you enjoy this one 🙌
I love the love ❤️ hahaha, hope for the future. I hope to live this life one day and this is what I see in my mind. Thanks for bringing me along Brian, Kaz, and nug! It's so fun to be with you. I know it's taxing, but the joy yall bring to the world is priceless. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I don't know about everyone else, but to me that is LIFE! Thank you for sharing yours...
Loving the underwater shots of the amazing reef fish. So beautiful.
You guys should be so proud of yourself for coming such a long way! Great job, and thanks for brining us with you. Cheers to all your next adventures friends!!
yup, awesome blossom may you all continue to have the time of your life.
I don’t have a prejudice either way… I like both.
I want to live aboard… if I can get together a big enough budget, then for me cats tick more off the list.
For me a mono would only be a cost option.
And if you want that mono buzz take an old Laser with you… room on the catamaran deck.
Warren getting spoken to about the shade on the trampoline ...she is growing up soooo fast

I was always for you folks getting a Cat ...The roomyness alone. Also the speed, like 20+ knots.. I'm sure you will have plenty of cargo ..I only crewed on monohulls as a teenager... Best to you.
Hi guys from New zealand so excited for your new journey on your new boat yous desrve it.
Oh, my gosh! That shot of Sierra sleeping, my gosh, she is becoming so beautiful! You guys are going g to have some problems in about 12 years. I know, because I used to be the one that caused a lot of the problems. Luv u guys, Dr Merrithew. Oh, and, by the way, I'm starting my dream sail this weekend. Sailing from Michigan to the Caribbean. See u out there somewhere
I've been watching for a few years and love you guys. I've learned a lot and it has helped me many times on our 30' sailboat.. this episode was epic and what a massive step. A new boat and an aluminum cat!!! How exciting. You guys deserve all the blessings 🙏. Can't wait to see the new girl. What are you naming her?? delos 2.0?
Thank you for all your videos. I got hooked on your videos during covid as an escape..... good looking family. I love your commentary
The interior shots from the wreck went above and beyond 😊
I feel that Delos quality channel is returning to it's original level, obviously without taking anything away from Blue and Bryan because I miss them dearly. Your move to a Catamaran is a great one. Love, OsoYolo, Antigua Guatemala.
I think you mean Blue and Brady !!
Looked fun!! I'm excited about this next chapter for you all. 🥳
geez. love we sail. Erica is special. Loved this video.
People who do not use compressed air to dive to depths greater than 66 feet (scuba diving) do not understand the issues of nitrogen saturation and the limited time that a human can dwell at various depths. Planned dives are critical!
Overall, this is one of your better videos. Which is saying a LOT!
Your channel (to me) is the standard by which all other sailing channels are judged. Consistency of great video quality, content, impact, editing, transitions, and connections are unmatched by any other channel.
I watch these videos and see far away places I will never see for real... Week after week and then you show an airport I've been at... That was cool!
Oh that's so cool! The world is a very big and also very small place!
Sierra is soo pretty! Loved this episode! Good Luck and God Bless!!!
Thank you so much for the incredible sharing. It is a bright spot in a wonderful place and may the best of your todays be the worst of your tomorrows.
Once again another cool episode , the narration is always spot on, thx Brian well done…
That spot is so cool with the current cutting through the islands !!!
Wow!
*Good* for you family!!
I know you've seen many things. With the cat., the possibilities are increased even further with draft concerns lessened.
Enjoy Gango•Pangos!!!
🙏🦉
Living the dream. Love your content and can't wait to see the boat build.
I'm really excited to watch you build this boat. I hope it is a great experience for you. Best of luck!
Great video,
Thanks for sharing. Awesome footage with the sea life. Take care, all the best, & God bless.
Just a little google about one from my backyard ;-)
The iron barque Nordby with skipper H. Christiansen was in the archipelago of the Company Islands in French Polynesia, where on 20 August 1900 it sailed from Tahiti 200 km to the northwest to the coral island of Raiatea, to complete the cargo of 120 tons of copra destined for Liverpool.
The next morning the ship arrived off the inlet to Raiatea, where a pilot's flag was hoisted, but no pilot came out and after some waiting the ship nevertheless sailed in through the passage and went to anchor. Ballast was thrown out under a stiff east-southeasterly storm and current, whereby the ship, however, drifted and ran aground on a coral reef.
From the following day, every effort was made to bring the ship afloat, to which part of the crew from a French warship contributed, but when the ship slipped from the reef on 26 August, it sank in deep water, whereby both ship and cargo were lost.
The wreck was sold for 420 francs.

Loved this little bit of history and connection to Fanø where my grandfather was born in 1902, although he was born in Sønderho! My grandfather sailed all around the world himself, finally ending up in San Francisco, and then eventually Seattle, where we live today! We love going back to Fanø whenever we can!
@@annelisekromann9807 Fanø today, is the top hollyday area for us locals also.
nuggs is living her best life ever with that trampoline :)
She's a trampoline fiend!
That was so incredible. What fantastic friends you have. I can’t wait till you get on your boat. That was so cool thank you guys. Sending love from LIZ in ⛵️🥰😘🇺🇸🇺🇸 California.
Wonderful underwater videos, I can always count on Delos to deliver great sunsets and sunrises too. We will miss them during construction.
Very nice, sailing experiences are again back after all those sweet family & kid oriented movies.
That, and more technical, building and nautical realities to come, I hope.
Looking forward to it. ⚓⛵
A lot of emotion in this one.. Something new, kid growing up, wonderful place,
Thats a great idea. Just like sailing or boating in general, if you dont have experience get some. Great video.
And the new adventure/dream begins 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 This is going to be fun 🎉
This channel makes me happy.
I've always enjoyed your videos and just want to wish you all the best on your new boat.
Really interesting - keep thinking about this as an approach, so I'm glad you're trying it out for me! I do aspire to a Dazcat!
I enjoy the ride on a Cat more, less banging compared to mono but in regard to power boat. Not sure on sailing but as always enjoy dreaming through yours.
Love watching your channel and content I’ve been doing it for so many years thank you guys for sharing
WOO HOO darling Sierra & to you all!! An epic viewing to be seen! I can’t wait 😍🙌💖💞♥️♥️♥️
I've done a couple dives wondering if I was on track then the wreck comes out of the haze - it's awesome - both a relief and exciting. Looking forward to the new awesome Cat. The views/reefs/beaches/islands/etc just fantastic there. You have a very blessed life!

Guys i hope you might share some infos about the tragedy of Bayesian Superyacht Sank recently you guys are Expert in sailing in my books. !! Cheers Delos !!
Love it..!
Looking forward to the next chapter! Cheers Delos 🍻🤙🏻
Absolutely amazing scenery on Bora Bora. On my bucket list. I am so excited for you guys and your new adventures with the Cat.
YOU GUYS ROCK!
❤❤❤
Bring lots of money. It's not for poor people.
Awesome video, Can't wait to see the new cat. Great photography. Sierra is too funny, growing up so fast.
A very groovy episode. it's nice to have good friends.
One of your best videos
It's gonna be so odd seeing you guys on a different boat when it's all done 🤣 been watching you guys for probably 4 years now can't wait to see the new boat all done. I would love to do something like you guys
Is it a challenge doing all of those manual things with a little one? Keeping her safe the entire time would be a full time job I’d imagine. She is an amazing kid and so smart. All the best with your new adventure. I’d love an episode on travelling with a little and the safety of it all. ❤
This may be already covered in a previous episode, but what are you going to do with Delos herself when Delos 2.0 is finished?by the way the quality of the content is insane!! Keep it up!!!!
Good luck with all your journeys and looking forward to the catamaran videos.
