Happy Friday Patrons!
We're back in the land of internet and just finished uploading this new episode last night! We did a bit of experimental First Person Point of View in this one and tried to show what it's like at sea during a 24 hour period.
Ever wondered what a typical day...

Hey Patrons! What is the highest wind speed at sea you've experienced??
Brady definitely earns some Captain points in this episode! The furler on the Genoa gives out in the dead of the night, right in the middle of a rainy squall which is gusting up to 46 knots!! The squall damages our wind...

Yeahhhh!! The passage is in full swing now... Happy Friday Patrons!
Squall after squall roll over Delos as we head off the coast of Florida, but despite the windless holes they leave us in- we are still able to travel 5 knots over ground thanks to the Gulf Stream!! The crew adjusts to life ...

Ahoy Patrons! Well, what can I say... It's been an incredible 10 years of sailing and living aboard Delos! When I joined as a 21 year old I had absolutely no idea where my heart and gut instinct would take me. But, here I am, opening the next chapter in the Delos Story.
As Brian...

I felt so emotional putting this episode together. It’s the end of a big chapter in our lives and things will be different from here. But before leaving we do our best to finish what felt like hundreds of boat projects and have a big Patron party where we inflate a 16 man life raft! It was awes...

Ahoy Delos Tribe! It's super important that we have a chance to meet up with as many of you as possible, and since some of you weren't able to make the Arctic Storytelling Presentation, or the sail on the Woodwind I wanted to set up something else to try and accommodate!

How much does it cost to sail around the world, and how do we pay for it? This is one of the most popular questions we get asked. As some of you might know I’m a bit of a numbers and stats nerd, and I’ve compiled our average costs over the 10 years that Delos has been sailing. Things li...
