Just in case you were wondering this is the actual invoice for Delos to go through the Panama Canal. Is it more or less than you expected to take a shortcut between two continents?
We're getting ready and preparations are going well. Sending lot's of hugs to you all and t...

In this episode we explore the nature of seasickness, and with the sea-state resembling a washing machine we have our task cut out for us. With 200 NM ahead of us we set sail at night to make our passage to the San Blas Islands. Instead of a sailing family we become a puking family an...

After our trip to Sweden Delos gives us quite the welcome home :). In this episode we nearly sink Delos with fresh water, the damn toilet gets blocked and sprays poop everywhere, the cheaply built grey water pump gear shears off, the fresh water pump quits, and the new pump is too high pressure a...
