Ahoy Tribe! Sorry for going dark for a bit but it’s been a whirlwind! After a few days of travel we are getting settled in Australia. We celebrated Mothers Day with a feast, Sierra helped me to pick out “rainbow flowers” , we went shopping for socks and pants because it’s fricking cold here (and we didnt have either), Sierra got a new bike (Woo Hoo!!!!), we tried on our new uniforms, and we saw the incredible progress of the build. The serious fun begins on Monday. We’ll keep ya posted. XXOO Brian, Karin, and Sierra
Hey guys, just saw your latest vid dropped on YT. Long time follower, but I'm a new patreon. Hearing you've just just arrived in Brissy, I'm local and keen to help out if you need a hand with anything. I mean it! ❤️

Redlands City Council area is an extremely prominent area for Koalas in the wild. You will often have one in the tree in a shopping centre carpark or wandering up the footpath or across the road at night. You will notice also that any major road is totally fenced with a smooth green metal strip at the top to try and stop koalas particularly but also other wild life climbing over and onto road.
Watch for the possums running along the powerlines chasing each other at night. Also Thornlands and Victoria Point where you are has a significant area near the shopping centre there where sugar gliders live(marsupial look a little like a small possum that has web skin between arms and legs. Very cute) They had to leave the trees and make it wider in the middle of the road when they duplicated the road so that they had somewhere to land because they couldn't glide the distance.
Make sure you are ready to film and photograph any koalas. I had one walking down the footpath right in front of the house with a baby on its back one night.

We moved from Townsville back to the Redlands. We forgot where our warm clothes were. The funny thing is for other people in the world, We are complaining about only 10 degrees Celsius in the mornings sometimes 5-8 deg. 🤣Im sure that will amuse Brady in Tahoe.

Welcome down under Delos family. You need to get some Ugg Boots for the chilly evenings. We’re all happy it’s cooling down but you will be adjusting. It will be excellent working weather. 😊

Yeah it's been a bit of a shock to us 😂 but we will get used to it, and once we dig into the build we will just be sweating all day anyway and we will be happy for the brisk evenings haha

Wow nice progress already. Ha ha Yeah Brisbane has a quite cool winter for a couple of months especially if you are coming from the tropics. Brisbane has the worst couple of years of wet and very humid weather. Hopefully due for better longer period of more normal seasonal weather. Sucks way worse in Victoria here. Will get better quickly through August and will be glorious through Spring. Good to see Sierra excited and happy.

Wow! Looks amazing! Can’t believe Delos 2.0 is that far along. Enough hanging out on tropical islands, swimming, diving and barbecues on the beach. Time to get to work and build that cat! I bet a boat build by Brian and crew won’t have as many problems as most of the new boats people buy. A lot of work, but you will have the rest of your lives to enjoy it!
Mark Gumprecht
2024-05-12 18:10:23 +0000 UTC
With her work/activity level, I don't think Kazza has to worry {:-{} I'm amazed at the progress. Looking forward to the Web Cam and your progress as welders!

That's awesome! So excited for you guys! Happy Mother's Day to you Kazza. Can't wait to see the progress as you build your dream boat (I know you're already married to one Karen...lol). And I bet Sierra will be taking those training wheels off ASAP since we already know what a thrill seeker she is!

Awesome set of pictures! Love the work coveralls, Stradbroke looks like a first class operation! Congratulations Sierra on the new bike, I’ll bet those training wheels are not on there for long! (Good luck keeping up then Mom and Dad! 😎) Can’t wait to see the progress and watch the build, happy to be a Patreon!
James Hann
2024-05-12 14:32:37 +0000 UTC
The "cold" statement made me realize - Yup, as our northern summer begins the southern winter begins! And southern hemisphere winters are colder since Earth is further away from the Sun in May, June and July. And Kazza, if you keep eating such big meals you could grow into the shape of a beach ball! 8 - O It's also cool to see the hull frame so far advanced. But could it be that if you push one part the right way it all falls to pieces? I hope not. LOL Finally, when I was a kid my dad NEVER put training wheels on our bikes. He taught us mostly in one single day how to ride without them. I wonder if that could be done with Sierra? Hmmmmmm

What! I was expecting to see stacks of cut aluminum… but you have a fully framed hull already!

So, I guess that comments about changing the hull size probably aren't part of the process anymore :) :) :) .... It looks *very* impressive.
