Our Favorite Thing about the Cruising Lifestyle - Sailing Vessel Delos EP 318

Hola Delos Tribe!  Woke up early this morning to amazing conditions.  The wind is favorable and we're going to set sail for Mexico in about an hour, so I wanted to get this weeks video out to you a day early.  Hope you have a fantastic weekend and sending much love from The Delos Crew to you!  XXOO- Brian, Kazza, and Baby Nugs

TRUE or FALSE? We've gotten our ass kicked 4 out of 5 last sails - Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 317

Lately the weather has been kicking our butts, so we decide to take a two day weather window and set out from Beaufort, NC on a 220 mile sail to Charleston, SC.  As usual, the forecast turns for the worse and we find ourselves beating into 30 knots for a little while.  During night watch I have an unfortunate wind shift which catches our downwind pole and literally launches it into the ocean.  Oh man, that’s going to be an expensive thing to get built….  We make it into Charleston before the next blow comes through an...

BUZZED by a Navy Seahawk Chopper Rounding Cape Hatteras - Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 316

"Delos.  Delos.  This is Cannonball on 16.  Do you copy?"  Never, ever did we expect to be hailed by  Navy Seahawk Chopper in the middle of the ocean.   But here we were offshore, speaking to the pilot of this amazing aircraft.  "Cannonball- This is Delos.  Please switch to channel 69, the Pleasure Channel" It turns out that the pilot and crew followed our videos and just happened to be doing a routine training mission around Cape Hatteras and the Outer Banks.  It was an incredibly exhilarati...

OFFSHORE SAILING prep - Cooking with Kazza! SV Delos Ep. 315

Hey y'all!  It's blowing like stink in the anchorage this morning.  We're cozied up onboard Delos hoping the weather gets better but I think we still have a few more days of this until it improves.  Hope your weekend is off to a fantastic start and you enjoy this weeks video :) XXOO Brian, Kazza, and The Little Nugget

How do we prepare for an offshore passage?  In this episode we go through our thoughts on weather and food prep to make our lives easier at sea.  After getting knocked around by a storm in the Che...

55 KNOT STORM + HUGE WAVES 😬💨⛵ Winter Storm that Broke our Pole - SV Delos Ep. 314

We're rocketing down the Chesapeake Bay in storm conditions of 55 knot winds and huge waves.  Then our rig makes a sound like a gun shot and we scramble to asses the damage before we hit a lee shore.....  

After finishing our mini-refit in Annapolis we set sail under calm, beautiful conditions.  Our destination is Little Creek, Virginia where we'll stop and prepare to round the notorious Cape Hatteras.  On our 2nd day out the conditions build throughout the day and by afternoon we find ourselves in terrible winds wi...

Bonus Episode - WE SAVED $45K on our 6 week MINI REFIT! - Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 313

Happy Sunday Fun-Day Delos Tribe!  We wanted to get this BONUS EPISODE out to you all today.  Hope you enjoyed our mini-refit series :) Next week we set sail south and get our butts kicked in a 55 knot blow right out of the gate....  Have a good one and hugs to you all!  Brian, Kazza, and The Little Nugget

Our quick rest stop turned into 6 weeks of non-stop boat projects, but now we can see the light at the end of the tunnel!  In this episode we hoist our new Precision Sails jib, inspect the rigging, and crank ...

BOAT WORK FAIL - When things go sideways! - Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 312

Ahoy Tribe!  We're going SCUBA DIVING tomorrow off Key Largo which is so very exciting! So this weeks video is coming out a day early.  Enjoy and hope the week has been a good one :)

Things were going so smoothly...  And then with one simple mistake it ends with a spark and a puff of smoke!    

I don’t know how many times we’ve said “Boat projects! They’re never straight forward!” We’re about half way though our massive boat-work list and some challenges are thrown our way. First off, our...

BOAT WORK - Replacing our Fuel Injection, Motor Mounts, Anchor Chain! - Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 311

Boat Work 😬⛵The Endless Project List that Nearly Broke Us - Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 310

You know that feeling when you’ve bitten more than you can chew? Winter sailing in New England is no joke, and it took its toll on both Delos and her crew.  We find ourselves facing a gigantic project list to complete in only a few weeks before Karin's US Visa expires.  After running aground 4 times we finally make it to a dock in Annapolis to begin tackling our list.  Delos is now over 20 years old and she's in need of some love, and we're in the perfect place for us to get some work done. After writing our to-do list we bo...

Everything I loved about Sailing is gone 😭 Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 309

Rough seas and caring for Sierra have taken their toll on Kazza, and we realize just how tough this lifestyle has become.  Northerly winds are brewing and we're making good miles south down the coast of New England. We take some time to reflect how much sailing with a baby has changed our experience on the ocean.  I'm basically a single handed sailor, and Kazza is a single parent when we're at sea.  After a rough day we finally pull into Cape May, NJ for some much needed rest before carrying on through Delaware Bay, the C&...

Going south to Hollywood 👋

Left Lake Boca on our way south to Hollywood today on the ICW. If you’re around come out and give us a wave 👋😄 ETA for Hillsboro bridge at 12

Many hugs! Kazza, Brian and little Sierra

In this episode we show you Boston through our eyes and we set sail for the Cape Cod Canal.  Delos is rocked by a huge swell and Sierra gets her first real bout of seasickness :( We walk the historic Freedom Trail of Boston and tour the Boston Naval Shipyard where we get to explore a WWII Destroyer and the historic USS Constitution, aka Old Iron Sides. &n...

BEST SAIL to the Jewel of the Maine Coast! - Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 305

Hope you enjoy the episode and have a fantastic weekend! Much love from us! Kazza, Brian and little Sierra

We have one of the best sails in Maine so far!  We’re on our way to a super quaint little town called Camden.  After being out in some of the more remote Islands for a few months we are in desperate need of some fresh food and boat parts.  The trees are changing color and we fall involve with this cute town. So much sailing history here!  Brian meets some of the local wooden schooner captains and goes on a pr...

Can You TOW A SAILBOAT With Anther Sailboat? - Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 304

Is our 78HP engine strong enough to tow another sailboat? This is the question we asked ourselves when our buddy boat Calico Skies stopped dead in their tracks. Unable to run their engine - with no wind, deep water and a big swell running we couldn't leave them at the mercy of the tides and currents. So we did something we’ve never done before. Towed another sail boat with Delos!!  It was quite a tricky maneuver as we had to navigate though thick fog and a minefield of lobster pots! Hope you find this episode entertaining and maybe ev...

LOST on a DESERTED ISLAND! - Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 303

Happy, Happy Friday Delos Tribe!  Sending all of you out there much love and hope you have some cozy plans for the weekend.  Kazza, Brian, and The Little Nugget

I know we said this was our furthest point North...  But screw it, we're gonna sail right up to the Canadian Border!  After getting a tip about a deserted island with a good anchorage and cool exploring we set off in the fog.  Cross Island is reported to have great hiking, a protected anchorage, an old coastguard station and if you believe in horror sto...

She Pulled the Princess Card - Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 302

With our navigation pad on the fritz, a fussy teething baby, and a busted toilet we decide to make a move further North.  We heard rumors of a long, white sand beach reported to be a slice of the Caribbean in Maine, just a few miles south of the Canadian boarder.   So we set sail in search of this rare spot. But before we can explore Kazza gets a crash course in marine toilet repair as our aft cabin toilet is making a horrible sound when flushing :( We get a surprise visit from the USCG patrol and spend the day exploring the a...

HURRICANE warning! How We Prepare For BAD Weather. - Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 301

Happy Happy New Year Delos Tribe!  We had a great one on Delos and watched the fireworks from the back deck and celebrated with some extra special sipping rum :)  Hope everyone is doing well this morning.  If you're feeling a little low-energy from too much celebrating last night why not kick back and enjoy our 301st episode to ring in the New Year!  Fair winds and wishing you all a safe and healthy 2021!  XXOO- Brian, Kazza, and The Little Nugget

Why is the bad weather chasing us?!?!?!  We sailed up north...

🎄🎅 Merry Christmas Delos Tribe ☃️🎄

Happy Happy Holidays and a Very Merry Christmas to you all!  We're hunkered down here in Charleston, SC where it's blowing like crazy and oh so cold ❄️.  We're cozy inside Delos and cooking lot's of good food and treated ourselves to a dock for a few days so we can have unlimited hot showers which is a true gift to any salty sailor :). Kazza broke out the Santa hats and Sierra is wondering what the heck we're up to and why there's a tree inside our boat 🎄:)

We want to thank everyone for all the support you've given us ...

Filming our lives is an adventure in itself, and in this episode we show the real life behind the scenes of how we document our travels! Its my B-day :) Woohoo! And can't think of a better place to be anchored right now. Brian decides to spend the afternoon filming a time-lapse so we find an amazingly beautiful spot, set up three cameras, and spend the afternoon filming and playing with Sierra on the beach.  I then get 3 birthday wishes....   Brian spoils me with a waffle feast for breakfast (Wish # 1) We go on a berry picking...

WHAT THE **** are we doing out here?! SAILING in Maine - Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 298

It's not always glamorous when living on a boat and even though we are finding ourselves in an amazing anchorage with 360 degree protection, walking trails, wild berries and no lobster pots the weather is getting COLD and we’re wearing foulies inside :P so Brian decides it's time to finish the heater project!! The other side of cruising in remote places is the nearest store is a 6 mile dinghy ride away so Brian goes on a full day mission to find us some food and encounters pretty bad conditions between the two islands, battling high winds ...
