BOAT WORK - Don't Try This At Home! 😱 Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 406
Added 2023-03-17 14:08:09 +0000 UTCAhoy Friends! The moment has come that many of you have been waiting for....the BOATYARD CHRONICLES have arrived! Today we present part 1 of our adventures (and misadventures) in Puerto Penasco as we prepare Delos for her first big ocean crossing since Brady and Blue took her across the Atlantic while we were in Sweden welcoming little miss Nuggs into the world. Some highlights of this episode include the arrival of the legendary Super Ryan, drilling holes in the hull (one necessary, one not so much 😂), two obscenely large tubs of peanut butter, the classic never ending list of jobs, and a few world class Sierra cuteness moments that will have you smiling for the rest of the day. We hope you enjoy this one! And if boat project videos are your thing, don't worry, this is just part 1 of 4 episodes documenting our time in the boat yard, so we've still got a LOT in store for ya!
Sending lots of love from Mexico!
Brian, Kazza, & Sierra

Talking about inspiration - these boatyard episodes do inspire me to go back to the boat yard and take care of our boat :D So thanks for the inspiration!

2023-03-25 01:35:14 +0000 UTCIts amazing the people that God places in our lives. Just thinking about how you all have blessed so many. It is really great to see those blessings getting reflected back to you all thought some of these amazing people like Ryan.

2023-03-23 00:02:16 +0000 UTCThe finished mount for the forward-facing sonar was SUPER satisfying to see. Something that keeps nagging at me: how is Sierra going to handle not having Grace around since Calico won't be buddy-boating with you guys across the Pacific? Of course she'll be fine, she's got a great family around her! But I'm feeling the sad. 😓

2023-03-21 21:43:42 +0000 UTCI know right, besides being Super Ryan he's also a professional videographer and vlogger now! He really is the best :)

2023-03-18 11:46:23 +0000 UTCIt is great to see all that productivity. So many successful maintenance projects. Tomorrow I'm meeting my crew on our 41 ft boat in SF. I recommend an angle grinder with a wire wheel for the jobs you were using the drill for because the drill maxes out at 1500 RPMs while a battery angle grinder is 3450 RPMs and an air tool 20,000 RPMs. The higher speed is necessary for the impact of the wires against the solid surface to be really effective. Try it next time. Buy or borrow. Safety glasses a must!

2023-03-17 17:13:51 +0000 UTCWhat a great episode. I didn't realize how much there was to do to keep a saltwater boat ship-shape. Thanks for this video, showing your hard work. Your videos make me feel like family.

2023-03-17 16:46:38 +0000 UTCAhhh.. such a large boat! Thanks for sharing the refit activities, it's the stuff I'm in the midst of right now and it's good to know it's the same for all of us!
Mark Hubbard
2023-03-17 16:34:45 +0000 UTCI know right, of course it was 16 degrees 😂 But will all be worth it when we roll up to some super sketchy anchorage entrances in French Polynesia and dodge all the bommies with our new sonar!

2023-03-17 16:16:59 +0000 UTCHey William, the videos tend to get a bit far behind when we're sailing and filming a lot like we did in the Sea of Cortez, but after these boat work episodes we will be pretty close back to real time :)

2023-03-17 16:15:12 +0000 UTCAwesome, you'll definitely get your fix over the next weeks!

2023-03-17 16:14:08 +0000 UTCSeagulls are very untrustworthy, definitely the right answer 😂 Glad you enjoyed this one, and we can't wait for the crossing too!!

2023-03-17 16:13:53 +0000 UTCThe one constant in the life of a sailor...BOAT WORK haha
Sailing SV Delos
2023-03-17 16:12:50 +0000 UTCI would give you free labor just to learn this stuff and hang out. 1 degree off. hahaha bummer!

Mike Wolfe
2023-03-17 15:02:03 +0000 UTCAs an answer to the poll question I say D, totally the seagulls fault! 😂 And despite the labour required to maintain a boat seaworthy it is part of having a boat, and by golly it is satisfying seeing the finished result and knowing you have done it! 💪 Thank you for yet another great vlog, soooo looking forward to seeing you back out on the pacific againg, it´s been years since! 😎
