Life on the OPEN OCEAN! What's it really like? Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 248
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 сен 2024
- Ever wondered what a typical day on a two week open ocean passage is like? It varies depending on the boat, the crew and the ocean but there is definitely a couple common themes that weave their way into all of our long distance sails. Having the chance to disconnect from the world and reconnect with nature is a highlight, as well as spending our days exactly as we'd like whether it's snoozing , reading, or fishing. And of course, we all love those days when conditions pick up a bit and allow Delos to shine with some badass sailing 😁 We had fun filming this episode from the first person point of view & hope you guys enjoy the switch up! Much love, B&B

SV Delos
Loved the way Blue went from engines to sailing. No fuss or panic and then hey who needs the auto pilot or to even hang onto the wheel. Very impressive. And then we got to sit through Brady teaching Ruben the feel of the boat while blowing Force seven. I haven't seen that much detail shown on any other video. Yup. I'll be back next week.
As I catch up on the Atlantic crossing, I am SO impressed by Brady's ability to troubleshoot and fix things!! Brian is normally on camera fixing everything so it's way cool to see Brady rockin' it on his own!! So proud!! And Blue has become an amazing sailor too!! Her skills at switching from motoring to sailing on her own is very impressive!!
One of my favorite episodes (and I've watched them all). I prefer at sea videos. This one was even better because you spoke about how you feel on a passage. Thank you.
jdonalds2001 yep. One of my favorites. Looking forward to the Ketch Adventuress joining the ranks of cruising boats with crew in late 2020!
Confined yet totally free. Marvelous.
I love that your cameras and lenses are finally getting to capture the night sky out on passage! I think, being a natural night owl and enjoying that sense of quiet and peaceful solitude myself I would love doing the night watches…just staring at the moon, the stars and the Milky Way all night long!
I wondered if Brady was having the thoughts this stint as Captain is bringing about his own boat. I think it is only a natural progression in life that is calling you. You certainly have the skills, and Blue is showing she has the chops as a First Mate. I am sort of a gearhead, and her comments while on the helm about feeling the boat were very real. The best experience you can have with a machine like Delos is when you know it well enough to know when it is right, and working with you.
The quiet nite passage stuff is wonderful. If you have a chance to do one of those limited talking, lots of Delos sounds under sail and the sea under you, the night sky... it would be a great gift.
I feel a lot of a similar magic in the high mountain and deserts of Nevada. I find it interesting how desert people and ocean people find the same solace in such different yet eerily similar places...
And Brady... seamanship through and through. I saw Captain Brady in this episode. Confident, knowing, troubleshooting, teaching. Yes. It's what we do. Troubleshooting is essential for any sailor. Sean so capable - props dude. No doubt crew breathes easier with such an experienced and skilled hand. So much in this episode for sailors to love. sv Delos excellence I'll say it again. Night watches, nature, stars and fortunately in my experience phosphorescence, yes. So good. So So good. Good on ya' for all the souls on Delos bringing us this insight.
Donald Burnett Take it from an actual Sailor. He's Brian Lite!(always pay homage to Sea Daddy/Brother)
Nice little segment on going from motor to sail. I really appreciated the headcam view of setting the sails, checking wind direction and speed, shutting the engine off, and trimming. Thanks Blue!
SV Delos is just simply put awe inspiring.
It does not matter who you have on board the Delos bug bites them and they become as one with the world and at one with one and other.
much love and fair winds you guys.
Did I mention I like to binge watch? Time to catch up on the Delos crew all the way back to Nov 2019. I'm a few videos in and I have to say the editing has been absolutely fantastic. Brady and Blue doing an awesome job in my opinion. The videos have a very nice vibe, meshing the music to the mood. I suspect that is the Blue touch coming through. Delos videos have always been good, I just can't remember if they were THIS good. Pats on the back all around.
Mr Brady is making a fine Captain Brady!
Not easy, not hard, but just right! He has confidence and humor. Great combo! I always loved working for people that had their stuff together.
Blue you are ready to solo sail around the world. It's amazing how far you have come since you joined the crew. Your commentary is always entertaining and well worth the time. Thank you for sharing your experiences. Keep smiling and sail on.
Fantastic job on the videography, editing, and story telling Alex & Brady! That 24 hour glimpse of life on the open ocean is one of if not the best video I have seen on SV Delos. Well done and keep up the great work! This is an epic season!
David C you took the words right out of my mouth! Awesome music/video coordination AND choices. Thanks for keeping my sanity in the age of Trump.
Thank you David :)
Yes. Delos video on passage, what do you like? from Resolution Island to transAtlantic cargo shipping lanes East of Rio is among my top fave videos. This episode makes a nice N Atlantic complement! Hats off to Alex! Hi Def and night shot! Luv it! (I know-new improved gear. .).

This is a great episode for sailors to watch. Crew on watch in control and clear commands when needed. Backed up by great footage and interesting and insightful commentary from Blue. I love how Brady has grown in maturity and confidence now he is skipper. He has all the skills needed. Altogether a beautiful exposition of life at sea on Delos beyond the informative narrative.
Alex/Blue has an amazing narrative voice. She speaks well, slow and deliberate. Thanks for posting.....
Another excellent episode. I imagine Brian and Kazza smiled when they saw how well you guys are keeping the faith, and keeping the flame burning bright. Sweet.
Well Delos... I gess it is time to move on. Delos magic has sailed away. Merry Christmas and wishing you the best Brian and Brady.
I'm so impressed about how smooth Delos behaves in those big waves (and from other passages as entering Madagascar years ago). No wonder that Amels like Delos are so expensive when you continue to show their prowess as a blue water vessel. Great video guys and fair winds!
I am no sailor but i am thourouly impressed with delos....she is a very stable boat!
The editing on this episode and the tunes where top notch you guys. You guys are killing it.
Blue has such a beautiful insightful way of describing what she sees and feels. It really makes you feel and understand what it's like to be there. Many blessings to you and the crew ❤️
Great editing. Thank you for sharing beautiful sights. It's nice to see the ocean at night without night vision mode. Love your show. Peace Delos crew. Be easy.
Blue just has such a delicious way of describing her night watches. What a wonderfully congenial woman who really knows her way around a yacht of some considerable size. I mean she hoists the sails and stops the engine all on her own as if she were just starting a car. You will not find such a beautiful creature every day. Lucky the gang that gets to sail with her. Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night.
Straight up one of the best episodes I've watched. Thank you Senior Brady and everyone else involved in this sail.
My son just went to a chain shop and ordered 100 metres of chain. The chain was hauled out of the barrel in ten metre lengths. The chain cutter was brought from the tool cabinet.
The chain cutter said are you sure this chain fits on your gypsy. My son said whats a gypsy? 12 inches was cut. A free sample of sailors life.
With love.
I love how Chia described it as an apartment with five friends but "your not allowed to leave the apartment for weeks at a time" I love the sailing videos and day trips but I am not sure if I could handled the weeks at a time with the same people, haha. But so glad you all do it so we can live through you a bit. :) Happy Holidays to all the Delos Crew current and who we have watched in the past.
I could not imagine this season without Ruben!! So glad he got the scholarship. It worked out PERFECT!!
I second that Redbeard Adventure!
Love it seeing Blue sailing the boat herself! 😊
WIIIIIIILLLLLSSSSSONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hahahahah!!!!
I thought I was the only one who thought of Wilson when I saw that soccer ball.
That was the first thing that came to my mind with the soccer ball
The autopilot is a great teacher on how to keep on course in those conditions! Minor corrections is the key and easier said than done- takes practice.
probably one of the better sailing videos from you guys. Well done!
So smooth... the time just flew by. Nice blend of music, action shots, quiet times, and crew. Good job, be back for more.
Yesssss! The theme song is back!!!!! Ramukanji......la la la la 😍😄
Chia's comment about not being allowed to leave the apartment... so appropriate for the current situation of self-quarantine many of us face due to efforts to limit the proliferation of COVID-19.
What a great team everyone makes, this is a great video showing your passage and everything that’s happening aboard, you guys make my day thanks, still keep fighting cancer your videos make happy all the time thanks again
Sending you strength and positivity buddy 🙏
Keep spirit my friend..
Three time Cancer survivor- just give it up to the universe! Blessing and Namaste my friend!!!

There is only one way to put this!! LOVE YOU GUYS!!
Been sailing for over 40 years but mostly inland lakes. Always dreamed of an ocean passage but video's like this are likely as close as I will get. The feel of the experience you share in these videos is probably the best this media can offer. Thank you for all the work you put into it. I think the passage videos are the best.
You’re doing an awesome job keeping a different vibe with things going, and I can’t wait to see what new vibe comes when Brian and Karyn bring with them!
I really appreciate the commentary on the perspective gained by being out on the open ocean. I feel that feeling when I go out in nature for days on end. Brady, to be honest, when I started watching Delos videos years back I thought you were kind of a young punk, but now I have gained a lot of respect for you. Not to say I am any better or worse, but it really inspires me to see people progress in life in important ways. Even though I am making good money now(for a blue collar) you guys remind me that there are more important pursuits in life. Point is, Delos makes a positive difference in my life, and I'm sure in the lives of many people who are stuck in the rat race. Sincerely, thank you. Well wishes to Brian and Kazza.
You really can’t tell the depth of the swell on camera, considering being under full sail balanced over. Always liked being under heavy swell full sail on the bow when I was 10!! Y’all on Delos are amazing people, been watching for years. Wing on wing on wing!!
I do not know how long I’ve been watching you guys. Many you tube names and subscriptions to you guys. This was by far the best, pure and sincere video I have seen by you guys.
I know captain Bri is back at the helm and you are enjoying the snow.
Brian, I’m positive, could not be more happy that things went so spectacular.
You guys need to assume your natural positions on Delos “because she is the true star of your videos “ and it will all figure its self out in due time. Don’t rush it, she will tell you when it’s right!
Blue, my goodness how far you have come since Ep142.. from shiny green to glowing glowing gold!
The mastery of your watch was awesome to behold in all regards.
You talk about the fact the swell never shows on film as big as it is in real life. (You get the same if you try to photograph a steep hillside on land - when the eye sees the photo it translates it into a more level view. Or maybe, it's REALLY quite level but when you're standing there it feels like a steep hill. Either way, it doesn't matter: what we need to show is the way the waves feel to you, on the boat.) However, watching the short clip at about 18:38-18.45, that works. Something about the angle, and the swell - you really feel how big that is, and sense the huge weight of water just rolling alongside. How can you create that feeling, and capture it on film? It is something to do with the boat rising and sinking, and the way one huge wave disappears behind another.
Roger Stone Great observation!
seasons greetings and very best wishes to all Delossians past and present 🎄
I lived 4 years on a US DDG, 400ft and 350 men. Even that gets crowded. I crossed the Atlantic 4 times, the last at 12 knots on one boiler to extend the fuel. I loved the sea. I wonder at the small boat sailor on open ocean passages. If the skipper is wise, the boat sound, and the crew skilled, the danger is minimized. But mother nature and Neptune have no mercy for the ignorant or unprepared. My advice to wannabees is to be careful, prepare, practice, and think it through.
BLU you rock, well everyone on Delos does!
“Let’s put it back together and see if it still works before we get too excited”. Life lessons from Delos 😂
De belles pages de l'histoire du Delos s'écrivent en ce moment....un bon équilibre à la barre et de très bonnes vibrations à bord.....Bon vent à tous!!!
Living and loving the dream with gratitude, 0 arrogance, and big smiles. Soak it all in! Great videos.
Followed you from Ep.1. You taght me alot about sailing and life at sea and know that fishing isent done at the speed your going at in this episode atleast. Try spearhunting when at anchor? And do an beach BBQ with an sunset and alot of beer, been awhile now since last time
hahaha. Would be very nice also too see something from the Captain and wifey in Sweden, even so short. Just popping in for an hi!. How are they doing, whats happening on land:)??? Take care, love you all! Love from Sweden
Do you happen to know the title of the @ song? "Prettiest bird in the whole wildwest"
Wow, cool video. Very impressed how Alex Blue sails the boat. Engine off, auto pilot off, rigging the sheets with the rest of the crew snoozing away. Proud of her.
Merry Christmas, glad you rescued Wilson.
12:12 is my favorite moment when Delos just being there floating in the open big blue
The best episode yet. I wouldnt change a thing! great picture.... So jealous Delos...
That feeling of when you realize there’s enough breeze to turn the motor off and sail at the same or faster than before. Love it.!!
Everybody on board is awesome, but I am really loving Blue's commentaries/thoughts. Can't wait for this cruise !!
I have to say that I love the shot looking down on Brady, where you can see the Buddha man reflected perfectly centered in his sunglasses.
Yes Yes Yes
Another Great episode, ... :-) as always ... footage of waves splashing the boat was awesome and made me smile and want to get 'out there' ... great time-lapse of the Milkyway too, wonder how you managed to do that ... had to have used a gimble may be and something else ... Have Fun in the Mountains ... Fair Winds!
Blue - not sure if my comment posted so forgive dup. You so captured every sailor's moments incl engine off and the well balanced boat. Very very good sailor stuff and you my lovely are a sailor now. Well done.
You can tell the crew has been at sea for awhile. They opened up alot more and it looks fun😍 Thanks for the ride guys💖
balanced boat, tattoos, girls night watch. and hand sailing. another badass installment.
Watching Blue set sail so put a smile on my face, the whole process!. That feeling that the wind is carrying you on just feels so good!
Wilson!!! In the next episode, I expect to see some sticks stuck into the soccer ball and a bloody hand print on it! Blue, I was tots with you when you were talking about the special feeling between the boat and someone on watch who is the only person awake at that time. It's a lot of responsibility to just be handed a boat that size, as well as the lives of everyone on board but that's when you get to know the boat and all of her quirks, smells and sounds. Plus, that quiet time also allows people to reconnect with the natural world, the stars, the wind, the waves, the sun and the moon. I once had a pod of humpback whales surface all around a boat on which I crewed and then start to 'talk' to each other. The boat was becalmed and I was the only one not asleep and you could hear and feel their voices reverberate against the hull. I actually woke up two crew just so I could share that experience with them! There have been other experiences I've had like this during a long night watch but those solo watches are something special!
This statement a that it is like a pressure cooker because you can't leave is so true you've got to make sure who you have as crew so you don't have a mutiny on your hands. I know this because of my adventures and passages upon the ocean. Keeping a positive attitude and crew morale is everything
Nothing I enjoy more than coming in after a long day offshore on Atlantis IV and seeing a notification from Delos! Lots of love to the crew over the holidays!
I just love your videos. I got away from them for a while but I'm back playing catch up. Soon I will be able to say I've seen them all.
Only thing I wish is if you included your music playlists in this. The music is always a perfect fit.
Maybe your best deep ocean snapshot to date. Thanks
I love all your vlogs, all of them. But your passage vlogs, those are first among equals. Maybe because they show what I desire most, which is to free myself a bit from all these constructs (roads, cars, buildings, clocks, email), and simplify. I know a sailboat is technology, and that you guys use technology for weather, safety, etc. But it seems that life on passage is so much simpler and beautiful. Happy and safe sails to the Delos crew, and thank you.
Santa Brady is comin to town. Ride that stallion.
So Stoked for you Blue in the beginning!!!!
I know it may sound silly but a video on how top stop delos in good weather like that and maybe turn her around in same conditions. That would be pretty cool watch . I had a sunfish when I was younger ,so much fun
Blue! Tell it like it is! Show us like it is! Do it like you should! Thanks for such personal insights into your joy
of sailing.
Great job blue ... you rockin it 🧜🏻♀️
Night watches are my most enjoyable times on a boat. Star gazing on a clear night and only the sound of the wind and waves, what could be better! Enjoy the trip.
@11:04 "We put a block ..... Down there..."
That's what SHE SAID!! Aah 😉😂🤣😘 And toward the end... Wilson's cousin.
My all time favorite episode ❣️👍👍😎 ⛵🍻❤️
Yet another FANTASTIC gallery!!! WHAAAAAT you guys found a soccer ball in the middle of the Atlantic!!!!!
Love the night watch with blue!
Wow awesome video awesome crew. Great job Capt Brady and Blue for the technicals especially Blue for explaining and executing on catching the wind and coming off engine. That was awesome. God bless you guys. Go Team Delos!
Been there from the beginning. Maybe the best ever!
Kurt Heisel I’m with you
Used to have marina-mate with a 45 ft old restored wooden yawl rigged boat. It was so easy to balance the helm at any point of sail. Love it when the boat is taking care of herself!
It's the winter solstice in sandy eggo! Love you peeps.
Great night sky shot at 1:20! Makes me want to smoke a joint and stare at the stars until I fall off the deck......again!
One of your best videos by far. Spectacular. Going back to watch it again 😊
Delos is just one beautiful boat💛
A multimeter is sooo handy. I personally enjoy seeing you all try to catch your own food. Perhaps there is a family Delos fleet in the future with a couple of sailing vessels.
Awesome episode. I know it must be hard to make fresh new ways to capture passages but you do a great job. Love these episodes that show a lot of the hands in stuff sailing. Great shots, thanks for the inspiration
Blu is so right, darkness is such a different experience on a boat.
Re: Being on a boat at sea is a pressure cooker. Back when I was in the Navy, the saying was "Going to sea is like going to prison with the added possibility of drowning". Though I'd have to think being able to set your own schedule/destinations would ease that pain quite a bit... :)
MERRY CRHISTMAS AND GOOD YEAR FOR ALL THE CREW DELOS (in sea and land )
Awesome sailing shots there BLUE loved that set of showing your sailing of Delos , great video you all . Thanks for sharing your awesome videos with us . Brain has to be proud of how you love the sailing of Delos and how she takes care of you all . and that you show your love of sailing her . The hole grew you all show your love of each other and of Delos . Awesome night sail always loved it all alone with the ocean as your only companion makes for the filling of total freedom . ...cheers you all , and a great holiday season to all of you .. From Steve stott in sutherlin Oregon u.s.a.
What a great crew y’all are! Keep having the times of your lives whilst I watch jealously and hope to have my own ocean going sailboat one day...
July 2021, and watching this. The vids from this time point were the best.
What a great Captain/first mate/crew! Love watching Delos’ videos.
As a mom (62) I wonder if your parents worry about you because so much time w/no communication. But what a chance in a lifetime to do something as exciting as being aboard Delos traveling the world via the oceans!
Merry Christmas! Wherever you happen to be :)
got my tribe flag a week ago, sweeeeeeeet, I just need a boat now...Happy Happy to all of you!
PS wish you all a great upcoming decade and a fresh new year. Happy holidays. Love the vibes.
Hard to imagine living on a 53' MONO haul with more then four or five people compared to a Cat that would have four bedrooms or more. Takes the right kind of people with the right attitude to do this day after day.
Yeah, good temperaments are a must. You'll learn alot about yourself & others on a trip like this.
Sick edit Blue! Love the new style thats evolving and with the Epidemic sound its raised another level. Great season so far Capt Senior!
I loved the POV edit. Great cuts and the overlapping sounds really added a nice texture to the vid. Great story idea too. I have been watching regularly for 5 years and this was one of my favorites. I know a lot of time went into getting it right. Really well done. Thanks!
Lovely episode. Always think of that sound when I go to sleep.
What a GREAT episode!
Brady, you've been on Delos from the start, and I can see you wanting your own boat. Whatever you decide to do, I'm sure you'll land on your feet and everything will work out for you. Stay safe, fair winds and take care of yourself and your family, friends and crew.
Have a Merry Christmas Delos and Delos tribe.
