Happy Friday Everyone!

Hey there amazing Delos Tribe, we hope everyone is having a fantastic start to their day!  As with last week, we are still doing our best to catch up on videos...this one will be comin' at ya in the next couple days, and then by next week we will back up to speed and bringing you your friday morning goodness as usual!  But we just wanted to say hello and let you know as always that we are so happy and grateful to have each and every one of you along on the journey with us.  We also want to know something from you guys...what should our next bonus video be about? Topics you'd love to hear us discuss, a live Q&A, slow tv sailing or just chilling on the beach with us, something else completely???  Let us know in the comments below!

Sending so much love and hugs from the Tuamotus!

Happy Thanksgiving. New here. Love you guys been watching 3 years now. Finally got caught up. My family farms and I pull up ur videos while in cruising along in a tractor. lol

Marine

Oh yeah that's a good one! I can remember an encounter with an Oceanic White Tip in Chagos that left me and Brady back to back in the outer reef for a while until it left us alone. Super agressive!

Sailing SV Delos

Arrrrr! Well matey it be slim pickings out here... We last been to port a month past, so the provisions are low. We got plenty o grog though, and can chase down a few crabs on the island so it's not too dire! But actually it looks like we might have weather to make the Marquesas so we might be at sea. And if so we'll just have a feast when we arrive instead :)

Sailing SV Delos

Not sure if this should be in a bonus video or not, but I have often wondered: what has been your closest call with an animal while sailing the world? Any wild shark encounters?

Robby Lafont

Love love love you guys!!! Sierra is inspiring even my 13 year olds πŸ‘ More on her day to day boat life would be great, also can’t pass on the diving vids.

Janine Van Leeuwen

Thanks so much William, happy thanksgiving to you too!

Sailing SV Delos

We've got some more great diving coming at ya in the next episode which is alllllmost ready! Hahaha let's see about that one! We've got our hands full with one but ya never know when the right moment could come

Sailing SV Delos

Yes thats awesome! And thanks for the input, will def keep the boat project vids comin!

Sailing SV Delos

Thanks Evan, we're about due for a slow tv its been a while!

Sailing SV Delos

Sailing SV Delos

Sailing SV Delos

Awww we would absolutely love that too!

Sailing SV Delos

Happy Thanksgiving

William Evans

Hey Guys... Diving vids are almost as good as Sierra videos. She is so cute and such a hoot. Easy to see where she gets her shinning personality! I enjoyed watching her help you with maintenance! How about making another one...of course you will need a bigger boat! LOL. Best to you guys, MR BIGG

Mr. Bigg

I wonder has anyone asked you what is the average sailing speed of Delos? Obviously that doesn't include when you are on anchor, on a mooring ball, or in a marina. I'm guessing 6 - 8 knots. Maybe less?

Scott C. Wise

Oh yeah... happy week end delos crew. Curious to know how your planning to celebrate thanks giving. I am imagining a pirate feast on the beach with lots of rum and meat cooked over open flames. but you may have a completely different idea in mind. a tropical sailors thanksgiving. delos style

Scurvy Dan

Thanks. Really like the occasional boat project videos. I would have never owned the boat I have now without them. They made believe I could do it to. P,S the atomic 4 runs again!

Brian&Christina

Awesome - makes a great side story!

Michael Williams

Slow tv

Evan Wiley

Might be time for another live Q & A. Pamplemousse. 😁

Jeff Fischer

It seems when you follow wherever the β€œwind blows” you, a wonderful video is the result. I trust your judgement when it comes to your content. I am always intrigued and thrilled. Cheers to you all and have a wonderful weekend.

Myra Slepoy

How about an episode where Jordan magically appears again as the crew ..... and stays a long time?

Bonne Mike

Actually quite a bit has been going on! We got the new roof on, the heater floor has been poured, new windows are in, and it's coming together! And by "we" I mean MorMor cracking the whip on the contractors :). We hope to be finished by next summer. Fingers crossed!

Sailing SV Delos

Awesome thanks for the input Oshra!

Sailing SV Delos

Thanks Dusty, we've got lots of great diving footage coming up for ya!

Sailing SV Delos

Sailing SV Delos

Nice! Yeah we're about due for a slow tv we haven't done one since the Pacific Crossing

Sailing SV Delos

Thanks so much for the input Shelly! We actually touch on this a little bit in this next episode where we talk about it some of the social dynamics in the cruising lifestyle, but yes this would be a really interesting and useful topic to cover, especially for hopeful cruisers so they can be ready for some of the challenges that inevitably come. Sending lots of love back at ya!

Sailing SV Delos

That's a great idea, I think a lot of people are curious about the forward facing sonar!

Sailing SV Delos

Sweet! Yeah I think it could be cool to just set up a gopro during one of our beach days and let it just roll!

Sailing SV Delos

Copy that! We've got some AWESOME diving coming up in the next episode :)

Sailing SV Delos

Ohhh that's so cool you made it out here this year, and that you got to see some sharkies! What a magical place FP is!

Sailing SV Delos

Let us know what you come up with Scott!

Sailing SV Delos

Thanks so much Gary!

Sailing SV Delos

maybe a Siera vid? some collection of her royal awesomenes

oshra duek

Any more plans on the renovation of that outbuilding at Mor Mor's?!

Michael Williams

I TOO Love the scuba dives

Dusty Ritz

Rock on an cheers from Sweden.

Thomas Hoglund

I like to put the slow show on the big screen in the background when we have company. Most people are drawn to it and think it's so cool.

Jeff Allen

Curious about your relationship challenges and dynamics giving that you are living in such close quarters as well as working together - how do you work with the need for alone time, but more importantly , when you have an argument or bad day and there is no real β€œaway” from each other? You guys have such a loving relationship but I bet the cruising life would be the end of some relationships. Thanks for asking for ideas! Love to you three!

Shelly Ackerman

I always enjoy the slow TV videos. Also, anything tech related. Maybe not in need of a whole episode, but I'm curious to hear how the forward-looking sonar has been working out. Is it useful picking your way into anchorages in French Polynesia?

eet

Chillin' on the beach β›±

David Haney

More SCUBA Diving ALWAYS!

John Peters

I loved your videos of French Polynesia. Was there for the first time this summer and it is heaven. Loved the shark and ray dive while there. I must admit I am living vicariously thru your adventures and am a little envious. Met an aquantance of yours who had single handed from Panama to Marquesas. Be well, calm seas, tight lines

Gary Brazina

I'll have to think about the Bonus Video ideas. Hmmmmmm

Scott C. Wise

Happy Friday to you guys:
