Can’t Describe This Feeling…LAND After 19 Days At Sea 🤯 Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 424
Added 2023-08-04 12:54:25 +0000 UTCHey hey friends! It's Friday again and we've got a suuuuuper fun episode for you today. After 19 days at sea, we FINALLY see (and smell 😂 ) LAND! It was such a crazy feeling for all of us, and honestly one of our most special moments of this entire 13 year journey. Long passages are such a rewarding experience, and that first sight of land wraps so many powerful emotions into one. A lot of it is definitely "type 2 fun" meaning it's not necessarily fun in the moment (although we did have SO MUCH easy fun on the trip too!)...there can be a lot of challenges and discomfort involved, but the feeling of accomplishment, the memories, and the lessons learned make you look back on it with a special kind of fondness that can't come from doing something easy.
We hope you enjoy sharing in this beautiful moment with us. What's the longest passage you've ever been on? Or if you're not a sailor, have you had any other accomplishments or experiences in life that made you feel something similar?
Big hugs from all of us!
Brian, Kazza, & Sierra

2023-09-08 17:00:11 +0000 UTCHey William! Oh yeah man totally! We’ve had our eyes on that for a while, since we sailed from Indonesia to Philippines last time around. We weren’t able to make it that far east on that trip, but this time we will find a way to make it happen. Brady and Alex did some diving there and said it was out of this world :)

2023-08-09 21:20:46 +0000 UTCLuckily neither of us are big in to sports, otherwise Delos might feel REAL small for a few days 😂

2023-08-09 21:19:49 +0000 UTCI know 🥺 We have literally no idea what could possible be wrong with the video, we disputed it but with no luck. The annoying thing is that they don't even tell you what caused the video to get flagged. We are gonna upload another version for the public release on Friday with a few small changes and hope for the best🤞

2023-08-09 21:10:10 +0000 UTCMy longest sailing passage was a day-sail in Belize on a charter. But a few weekends ago I logged 80 miles or so in a single day run around Lake Lanier here in GA. That hurt!

2023-08-08 23:14:04 +0000 UTCCrazy moment, Sweden and the US Women’s teams taking it to the last moment! Glad at least some of the Delos Fam is celebrating.

2023-08-06 08:24:10 +0000 UTCFunny memories: we would hit land and everything was fuzzy: because your eyes do not see further than 100 feet or so for 3 months - it takes time to focus on long distance!

2023-08-05 17:36:34 +0000 UTCMy father (may he rest in peace) was at sea in the Pacific for 3 years during WWII (second in command of the destroyer Mansfield) and had one stint where his boat did not touch land for 18 months (supply ships would come to deliver food, gas, munitions, etc). He told me that getting on land after that period of time was so disorienting that he literally felt “land sick” and the ground moving under his feet.

2023-08-05 08:03:42 +0000 UTCThat was an absolutely beautifully filmed and edited episode. I was there with you for 20 minutes.

2023-08-05 04:19:40 +0000 UTCHello Delos, another great episode. Completely unrelated, I was recently looking at dive locations in the Pacific and was wondering if Chuuk Lagoon was on your possible itinerary. Lots of coral, and ww2 wrecks to dive on, and seems like a really nice lagoon to lay anchor in for a while. Thoughts?

2023-08-05 01:46:51 +0000 UTCHow far till Kazza circumnavigates?

2023-08-04 19:56:43 +0000 UTCHaha, that's awesome you're looking to get into sailing. We have a lot of friends that have found really cool crew opportunities on findacrew.net and crewbay.com that's a great way to start :)

Sailing SV Delos
2023-08-04 18:17:34 +0000 UTCAbsolutely! It was such an incredible destination the first time around, but seeing it through Sierra's eyes is just the best. And so excited to share it this time with some upgraded camera skills and story telling!

2023-08-04 18:17:01 +0000 UTC😮💨 OMG what was the passage?
Sailing SV Delos
2023-08-04 18:15:08 +0000 UTCThe feeling is really something else, can't wait for you to experience it too!
Sailing SV Delos
2023-08-04 18:11:41 +0000 UTC89 days. But I didn't have cute shipmates as you do...

2023-08-04 15:24:49 +0000 UTCGreat video, it must be such an awesome feeling for you Brian to have experienced this before, knowing how beautiful it all is and getting to share it with Kazza, Nugget, and the rest of the crew. I bet the second lap is better than the first.

2023-08-04 14:39:55 +0000 UTCArrival! def. - A person who competes against you. LOL This is the much better version. : - )

2023-08-04 14:18:35 +0000 UTCSo beautiful there!, and apparently it smells good.

2023-08-04 13:58:42 +0000 UTCIt is a similar sentiment i can hear the starting horn. We've spent the good part of 2 Mos on Bristol 29 boat projects. Our first ever regatta (in our boat) is Tommorrow. I'm sure the memories will last long past the hardships endured.
Brian&Christina
2023-08-04 13:31:16 +0000 UTCI haven't been on any long passages because you guys haven't invited me! lol Aspiring sailor, hoping to find more experience soon. Can't wait to watch the video! I'm sure it will be great.
