Are We RICH??? Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 433
Added 2023-10-13 12:41:22 +0000 UTCHappy Friday everyone! Life is grand in French Polynesia right now....but....we'd by lying if we said we weren't having just a little bit of FOMO of missing the boat show this year! We had so much fun meeting so many of you at our meetup and our circumnavigation presentation. We've gotten messages from quite a few of you that are going this year, so we hope you're having a great time and please drink a few Pain Killers in our honor!
But I digress...this week's episode is a goodie! While strolling on the beach Sierra found this strange, waxy substance on the beach that we thought could possibly be (FINGERS CROSSED 🤞 ) a very rare and very valuable piece of ambergris. We don't wanna give any spoilers here....so all I will say is this...please let us know what you think about all of this in the comments!
Sending lots of love and gratitude to all of you on this beautiful Friday 🫶
Brian, Kazza, & Sierra

Hey, thanks for the reply! Good to hear there's options, Creators' Wheelhouse looks really interesting. And I really appreciate your videos, so thank you! Best from Helsinki, still mostly covered in autumn colours. (Just returned from a walk along the river, lined with blazing red maples, golden birches and aspens, full moon reflecting on the still water...)

2023-10-30 20:41:13 +0000 UTCHey Janne- just saw this comment! Yes, we have heard about this as well. So far the changes haven't impacted us so much because we were one of the first to join, so we are "grandfathered" into one of their old, and good, plans. But that could change at any moment.... We were working on our own but when Sierra was born and we went back to Delos I sort of shelved that effort. But it could be brought back to life I think. There is also another up-start that some friends are using called Creators Wheelhouse. We have our eye on that as another alternative. We really appreciate your support and just wanted to thank you again for everything! Sending you our best from sunny Tahanea, Tuamotus! Brian, Karin, and Sierra

2023-10-30 19:49:21 +0000 UTCHi Brian and Kaz. I’m a perfumer and use ambergris everyday. I would make a small tincture from a small scraping. Just put in vodka for a few days. If wax there will be no smell. Ambergris is hard to explain but it’s ethereal in its beauty. We actually met last year at the Annapolis party. Peter and I were telling you about our smelly skipper in Mauritius…. 😂. If you want to email me further about ambergris, do! I’d love to do a Delos ambergris fragrance. It could be great creative fn.

2023-10-22 17:26:12 +0000 UTCOh thanks Virginia, will have to check it out! We would definitely be willing to send it somewhere to get tested if we think it could be the real deal! Hoping to maybe get a few hot tips from the Delos tribe when we release this one on YouTube 🧐

2023-10-19 22:24:22 +0000 UTCHahaha it was the exact same reaction! Too cute 🥹

2023-10-19 22:23:38 +0000 UTCHey Scott! Too bad we missed ya this year, but yeah it's pretty tough to leave here!
Sailing SV Delos
2023-10-19 22:23:20 +0000 UTCThat's so great you made it to the boat show, and love that the Delos tribe was representing in full force! Hope you drank a few cold ones for us 😁

2023-10-19 22:22:39 +0000 UTCdid you stumble on this site? seems legit https://ambergrishunter.com/identify-ambergris/
Virginia
2023-10-15 05:27:21 +0000 UTCHopefully you know by now I love all your video stories - but this was a special episode, too. Something about that bike ride footage reminds me of historic Delos energy, and that soundtrack played in the first diving session reverberates within! The bits on Ambergris is very interesting and all of that mixed in with beloved 'Brian of Delos repair' commentary alongside footage of Sierra's boat tour - good stuff! You've got incredible, next-level editors on your team to boot (comparable to Brandon Li)! And mama Kazza taking it all in stride and grace :)
Victoria Makris
2023-10-15 02:58:22 +0000 UTCWow did it rain at the boat show Saturday. Power was out in parts of Annapolis like on Main and on Maryland Ave. Compromise was “compromised” with too much water. Friday was stellar though. Missed you guys but caught up with Bill and Grace.

2023-10-15 02:05:34 +0000 UTCI hope it's that stuff I can't type. You all live the American dream and show the world what freedom really means. You deserve all the bounty and riches that yeilds.
Brian&Christina
2023-10-14 13:54:50 +0000 UTCYou are just having the best experiences there! Amazing footage! Hope you are right about the riches!

2023-10-14 13:44:36 +0000 UTCHey guys, not about this video, but I just heard some really scary analysis about the amount of venture capital Patreon has raised over the years, the company not meeting the growth expectations of their investors, and how that might be impacting the way it's going with creators and supporters alike... Kind of reminds me of the situation back in 2017 with their proposed change of fee structure, and I remember you guys saying something about decreasing your reliance on Patreon back then... Did that get anywhere? If something bad actually happens here, I'd really like to be able to keep supporting your adventures through some other means. For educational creators, there's Nebula, but for e.g. sailing and adventure creators, I'm not aware of anything similar.

2023-10-14 13:34:36 +0000 UTCYou guys are peckers (LOL)...leaving us in suspense on the Ambergeis. Really had a great laugh seeing Sierras excitement in anticipation of Ice cream...I can relate!
Mr. Bigg
2023-10-13 19:15:43 +0000 UTCHey Guys... I wonder if people watching realize how much work you do to produce these vids.... Getting ariel vids with the drone, dive vids, and third persons to record and just setting up the shots in general. The equipment is expensive and recording, time consuming! Wow. That is one of the reasons I started donating... The other is because as a former world traveler, I feel like you do significant work to bring me (us) along. As I watch, I remember sailing with the wind in my hair, the taste of the salt water, the joy of exploring and diving around the world and meeting the craziest people! Thanks so much....MR. BIGG!
Mr. Bigg
2023-10-13 19:07:26 +0000 UTCWhat’s the verdict???

2023-10-13 18:13:04 +0000 UTCWhen Sierra at the cream from the ice cream, she made the same face she did back when you gave her gummy bears. Priceless!
Bill Dapp
2023-10-13 18:04:13 +0000 UTCAt the (or near) US Sailboat Show in Annapolis, MD! Wish you guys were here too. Heck Parlay Revival is here and they at least could have stuffed Sierra in a large travel bag and brought her with them - as luggage. : - D But it sounds like you are enjoying the South Pacific. Now it's time to watch!

2023-10-13 14:11:55 +0000 UTCIt’s beautiful today here in Annapolis. I have seen more than one SV Delos shirt as I have wandered the show- you all are missed but definitely represented. How could you leave paradise?
