    Brian, I was with Brady and Blue in the SF Bay and we stumbled on a huge glob around 30kg of black waxy stuff and before we could take a small sample for testing 😉, we had new sailboats on order.
    I have a lab with an XRPD X-ray in San Jose, I tested a small sample we and It turned out to be wax that is used to clean oil tankers. The simplest test is to melt some in a spoon, if it melts like black tar, it’s 99.9% ambergris if it melts clear it’s wax 😢. I have a small Polaroid of Brady & I that Blue took along with a piece of the black wax we found on my desk as a memorable souvenir, it’s priceless. I temporarily changed my profile pic to the chuck of ambergris we found. Fun times

    One of my favorite sayings is complacency kills. Brian your vigilance with the anchor chain is admirable. You seem to think of everything. Imagine all the ways hyper vigilance has saved you, your crew, and Delos over the years. Especially when it comes to weather and route planning. Kudos to you!

      That is a very just observation IMO. I always feel like nobody notices this although he isn't under appreciated in any way. it's so hard to like you say be hyper vigilant and not over do it either. He must be a genius or he has figured something out at least. Absolute beast of a man.

    I read a story about a man who found some on an Aussie beach many years ago. He knew what it was and was very excited. What he did not know was that by placing it on an extremely hot rock, that it would melt into a liquid and flow away, most of it to be unrecoverable.
    Moral to the story, don't let it get too warm.

I actually have an owl feather that I found on my front steps one morning, and it seems crazy for a second, but yes possessing it is a crime. The idea is to discourage people from killing and exterminating species for various products. I know Nugs didn’t kill that whale as surely as I know the owl feather was left there for me. But the rules also kind of make sense to me.

    I found several kilos of wax on a beach once, a huge piece in northern Oregon or somewhere in Washington state. It had a strange natural formation. We melted it down and made it into a giant candle in a huge tin and it also served as a camp fire, once it became hot enough the entire surface would turn into one huge flame.

    The things one finds on a beach! We have what are called 'glass balls', which used to be the floats for fishing nets back before Styrofoam came to be used and on some remote beaches here in Alaska, you can sometimes either find a complete one or glass shards from them. Nice find Sierra!
    Brian, I love how you slipped the NordVPN spot into the body of the video. Wove it into the narrative of the story, instead of just making it one lllloooonnnngggg commercial! I spent years in radio broadcasting in Seattle, writing and producing commercials and worked at making them NOT sound like commercials!
    Interesting way to anchor, but it totally makes sense. I'm wondering how this technique changes the amount of scope you have to put out, since your catenary is reduced due to the floats keeping the chain off the corals. Here in Alaska, I sometimes use an anchor trip line on the front of the anchor, ahead of the shank and anchor swivel, in areas where there are rocks. I'll attach this trip line to a buoy so that if I can't get the chain/rode up normally, I can pull the trip line up and get the flukes out of the rocks.
    Cool about the ambergris! If it's not that, maybe you can make some candles for Sierra's next b'day celebration!

She has grown so much and is such an Angel !!! What a life she has travelling the waters with Mom & Dad and learning more than any school could ever teach.

    As I'm a Kiwi, living in the North Island of Little old New Zealand, I have been looking all my life (and I'm old now) for a piece as it's well known to sometimes wash up on our shores at the ass end of the Pacific Ocean , Sadly nothing yet Bro.

    Good luck with the find! Hope it is ambergris. That would be incredible!

    Apparently, ambergris is a big enough deal that it made it into the movie Master And Commander.

    Sierra's college fund? I'd say she's getting a priceless education now!

    Awesome diving, blue water, excellent fish life and corals, and some current - fabulous! Jealous. Are you still in French Polynesia?? Or given the link to NZ are you at Sideia islands in the Louisiade off New Guinea and Solomons? There is fantastic diving from Milne Bay especially at Samarai. Still jealous watching brilliant diving👏🏻🙏🏻❤️🙋🏻‍♀️🇦🇺
