We Live On A Boat In The Most Unbelievable Place 🤯 Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 459
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- After more than 80,000 miles sailed, 56 countries visited, an entire circumnavigation of planet earth, and dropping our anchor at countless islands, atolls, and indescribable paradises…this insane island beats them all. We’re here in the Tuamotu Islands of French Polynesia, and we are really and truly in the middle of nowhere out here. About 3,000 miles of open ocean lies between us and Mexico to the north east, and another 3,000 or so in the other direction to New Zealand. We felt like the luckiest family in the world to be able to call this place home for a while, but unbelievably, on this morning, these islands revealed another side of themselves that we can’t even put into words…

The shots of the anchor going down were very cool! ⚓️ You could get some kind of pole or pipe that clamps onto the boat railing so the birds can sit on it over the water & not poo on your boat! 🤪🦜🕊🦤❤
I don't comment often but I want to say that I've been watching your channel weekly for several years now and I have to say I really enjoy the time I get to spend with you. It's calming, it's un-pretentious. I like it.
Please never get rid of your intro song. Its perfect
Especially the Aluminum formular.
Aluminium 😜@@melburnjohnson212
I was thinking the same thing. I don't think I'll ever get tired of it.
Every time I hear the intro I immediately start singing! I can be in a funk and it NEVER fails to put a smile on my face! P
totally agree.
Rain, Thunder, Lightening and more Rain in Tennessee. I'm so jealous of your sun right now! You sea lovers be safe and soak up some vitamin D for me, please!
Enjoy delos family- ⛵
Enjoy Sierra, you keep those birdies in line. No solar panels for them. Lol 🩷👑🩷🩵
Every time one of your videos gets suggested to me, I end up binging 5 or 6 of them. Then I find myself, with no boating experience, little mechanical know-how, and only about $2000 of expendable income, wanting to just set sail tomorrow and leave it all behind. Thanks for letting me live vicariously for a few hours now and then.
The "anchor splash" and digging in at 5:00 was really cool. Don't know how difficult it was to set that up and capture it, but I loved it. Thanks for the video.
Unreal! It looks like the Truman show when he sails to the edge of the set! ❤ amazing. So lucky!!
Sounds like a silly comment on the Delos Channel.. But the production quality of this vid is off the charts... gosh.. love it.
Fact: most of the time, I watch UA-cam vids @ 2x speed. Fact: watched this one @ 1x speed, all the way through. Not too difficult to see why this has proven your favorite anchorage of all the many anchorages you've accomplished. Bravo!
the drone shots are sooo amazing! the colors! brown, turquoise, blue, white sands, green palms... just wow 😯
I tune in every week to check out Brian's latest manicure 💅 😅⛵️ nice color choice Sierra
I love the Beaufort zero moments the sea offers a few times every year.
A mirror like sea is so pretty, especially at sunrise and sunset.
THE POCKET ON HIS SHORTS! when he's working on the dingy! How do i make whirt whir (whistle sound)? Another favorite video! All ur vids are favorites! 😁
Dad with painted blue fingernails, must be a proud father of a girl.
I think it is great how this channel has evolved for this many years.
I love the content, since the beginning.
Just started watching! Where’s a good place to start?
@@GoodDaysandBeyond It is a great story.
Studies show that days that include a "WOOHOO" are at least 70% better than days without. SV Delos, this local has my envy meter at 11. One thing your videos do for me is make me focus on the things in my life that really make me happy. I don't think I could get board of waking up to the conditions in this video.
Amazing vid guys. Sierra is growing up so quick and Kazza just get's more beautiful every day. Capt. Brian you are one lucky man.
Gosh, brings back so many memories of my own cruise through the Tuamotus back in 1978. I feel your discomfort from the heat! I recall that the water inside the lagoon was HOT and there was no relief from the heat by swimming - one had to dive down twenty or thirty feet to find some cooler water. Back in those days, before GPS and radar, boats were frequently wrecked on the low-lying reefs; it was common to see abandoned hulls lying ashore - people's dreams shattered. Most boats sailed around the Tuamotus to avoid the danger.
NOT SO PARADISAIC THEN LOL
@@jillynyx3807 Well, it was pretty darn nice, if one could exclude the heat. The diving and shell collecting was phenomenal. Nowadays, modern navigation and yacht air conditioning seems to make everything safer and more comfortable hence many more boats explore the atolls.
@@Morrisfactor BIG DEAL
Thank you for sharing (sorry about the trolls)
Jillynyx probably never left the city he was born in.
I love love love wildlife
........ but.... I would have something for situations like that where the birds are perched and pooping. Lol 😆
Take care there and ENJOY ! 🌞⛵️🌴
I've been in the US Navy for 18 years. On a couple of occasions I've seen the water look like glass, something comes over you and you have to stop. You know its special when it happens, you feel it. It just pulls the stress out of you, and suddenly your mind becomes as still as the water. Wish everyone could experience it.
Delos is my fav sail boat on utube. The 3 of you are the cherries ion top😘🇨🇦
Branding takes time and emotive bonding a little more.Your themesong is your trademark that creates instant recognition across all language boundaries.....it makes you unique and allows your tree to stand a little taller than the forest......
Wow! How beautiful the Tuamotus are for your visit. The water like a mirror 😍 Best Wishes in your next chapter.
Paradise! 😍Paradise!🤩 Paradise! 😍excellent video !!!!!!!!!!! I wanna go there just now😄
Your boat has become iconic. Shes a beaut!
What a truly magical place !!! loving your gratitude, and your embracing of life, nature and solitude. May your cups be full in readiness for your life here in Australia ... we all welcome you with open arms and may this magical land of ours cast many similar spells of pure bliss.... thank you for sharing your wonderous world with us xx L and D
What a magnificent place! Thank you for sharing with us! Love to ya'll & Darling precious Sierra! WOO HOO!😍🙌💖💗💞
JB Weld should be carried on every boat for repairs.
Excellent shots of anchoring with the camera on the anchor.
Another excellent video of the cruising life in the tropics... the very hot tropics where even the water can be too hot.
there are WAAAAAY better alternatives. Learn about Splash Zone, its the JB weld of the marine world
It's not really that strong.
I do not comment often, but..... I wish you well, my friends; enjoy these precious moments as a family. You are on a journey for sure...... explore the facets of humanity and love their joy
I love your videos. I have been following you for many years. If I scroll back then the first video I saw was from 9 years ago crosing equator (episode 39). Thank you for all your videos. One day I will see you on the water ⛵ Fair winds from Stine in Denmark ⛵
I watch your whole video on my Roku television, buy cannot comment there or like your video's. I hope liking it here will help your channel still. I loved this episode with the still water! Seeing the reflection of the clouds on the ocean, imagine! Sierra is so sweet and beautiful. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us! Looking forward to your catamaran also!!🥰
Aluminum in the salinity of the sea requires particular care. Like everything, it has its pros and cons.
I'm glad to see that the first million subs are almost there, with many more to come 🙌
Paradise! Family time together in a place like this is priceless... Fair winds! Chris, Rossella & Emma 😊
I love your Polaroid wall and was wondering what will happen to the photos on Delos 2.0. How about encapsulating them in epoxy resin and incorporating them into the new furniture? It would be a beautiful and practical way to keep those memories alive on the new boat.
Poor Maggie! Thank Goodness for the handyman engineer on-board! Well done Nuggs ❤ (just kidding, way to get er done Brian!)! WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE LIKES AND SUPPORT TO OUR DELOS FAMILY! DELOS 2.0 IS IN THE MAKING! EVERY PENNY COUNTS! COMMON TRIBE DELOS, LET'S JOIN TOGETHER AND SHOW OUR FRIENDS SOME LOVE! Watching brings joy and love to my❤
Stunning rare moments like this in tropical zone certainly produces memories never forgotten for you guys. Great video for sure. Jim Rodgers
The whole episode's music was fantastic. So cool to watch Sierra grow since we joined the channel when she was born. Those islands look magnificent.
Simply beautiful ❤🫶🏻👍🏻🙌🏼
I have loved watching your videos and the places you have been. The love you have for one another and the joy of being a family. You have made your life about living and not seeking material things. Thank you.
It's been awhile since I have watched SV Delos... I can't believe that your Bambino has gotten so BIG! Congrats guys!
These are the episodes I live for 💙
at about 5:15 amazing shot....... those birds are really spot on
What a beautiful area great place to unwind and relax
The video of the anchor digging in and setting was awesome, great video!
Thank you for taking us there. Very nice video.❤
While it wasn't on a sailboat in glassy-calm waters, like this, I had many such moments along the beaches and pristine turquoise waters of the island of Aruba, where I grew up -- this was between 1945 (when I was 4-mos. old) and 1963 (when I graduated from high school). From "Baby Beach" to "Palm Beach" on the leeward side of the island, the beaches were magnificent and often deserted -- except for hermit crabs, birds, and the occasional iguana. As the island was "discovered" by tourists in the 60s, however (and ever since then), you can no longer get this kind of beautiful isolation that you all have experienced here. You are right, however: these memories will stick with you for a lifetime. They have for me. 💞
JUST INSANELY BEAUTIFUL !
A family in a place that I hope is not visited by many people and would destroy it. Thank you for taking me to this beautiful place!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen the water that calm before. Absolutely beautiful.
Wow, what a life, it beats the hell out of working. Good luck to you all.
With all the divits on the dingi, I would recommend Marine Tex to fill in any holes then mix up Glovit to cover the whole surface to waterproof it. I think works really well on aluminum. Marine tex is one of our biggest selling items.
Sitting here in Chicagoland early morning after a Spring thunderstorm with heavy winds, serious rain, thunder and lightning. This morning, serene and beautiful. And then we get to watch your morning adventure. I've been watching your guys for years and I agree that your island paradise is about as beautiful as life gets. We're both lucky. Good family, peaceful moments and life's adventure with lots of promises ahead. Keep up the great work!
Gorgeous!! Love Brians blue nails 🇨🇦 ❤
Sharing is caring! For Sierra’s chicken McNugget fund🤗
I'm going to sleep soon I hope. It's nice to know what I will dream abbot. Absolutely love SV Delos.
Have I been following you for 13 years already?! I remember the video when you got Maggie delivered by a truck in Australia...
I had forgotten why this was my favourite channel and got out of viewing for a while. Been absolutely binging to catch up.
"Morning Delos crew. Excited about the new boat, but it occurs to me, that means at some point you're going to have to say goodbye to your precious SV Delos. How difficult will that be! 🥲
Following you guys since ages, and don't usually comment. but this is just too beautiful...
Hey Brian, re Maggie tanalised timber will attack aluminium. Think its the copper in the treatment! Maybe nothing just something to remember. Keep at it guys.
Paradise 😎🌴🍹🍸❤Kazaa should finish her circumnavigation New Zealand ??
Thanks for sharing not only the picturesque paradise , but the price you had to pay in terms of how crazy hot and humid it can be .
"Oh my dodd" lol! Precious!
I have followed in earnest since South Africa - We actually spoke - I have DREAMED of a sailing for a very long time but live it through your videos! I look forward to every adventure !!!
We are all different. I live at over 4,000 feet in the Oregon Cascades. Hot days are those over 80 degrees F but it cools off to 45 degrees at night. It is easier for me to dress for the cold than the heat. It does sound fun to sail tropical waters but not sure about the extremes heat. I do enjoy your adventures from my home.
I didn't know that much beauty and fun could be crammed into 19 minutes!!!
Days like this are few and far between. Enjoy them when you can.
This episode was especially beautiful!!!! I don’t know how its even possible…yours getting better and better… so relaxing to watch… your videos make me happy🌸❤️🔥🍀
Crazy timing! We are less than 24 hours from Raroria! Can’t believe we missed you guys! 😢
Absolutely Paradise and spectacularly beautiful,enjoy it all!
The drone shots are something else at this stop!
Great video. What a paradise. Sierra is growing up so fast, such a little beauty.
Right?! The l'il nugget is gonna be getting her driver's license in another week or so
WOW ! the photos are AMAZING! thanks
I love you guys and your lil Nugget! Hearing her talk make my heart happy. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. Safe travels. ❤
So beautiful. YOU GUYS ROCK!❤
Sierra is getting a real life experience and education! You might want to get some of that Flex tape for emergency repairs.
Oh WOW into the water I would go 🏊♂️ and maybe never come out this is absolutely spectacular if only🤔
Beautiful video. You guys seemed to get extra creative with some of the videography. I especially liked the anchor drop.
was awesome catching up with you today love your videos as I said been here since the start keep them coming can't wait to the flip party
Beautiful footage. That water is amazing to see.
My 23 year old son was murdered on 2/12/18! I tell you this to tell you how much watching y’all has ALWAYS lifted my spirits even on my darkest days! Before he passed he and I would watch every episode religiously! Now I find myself watching the new episodes and going back in time and rewatching your older ones imagining him sitting right next to me enjoying every moment! Thank you 😊 I hope to one day sail with my husband and spread his ashes all over the world 🌎 Safe travels ❤️ 🙏🏼 April in Florida
I am deeply sorry for the loss of your precious son. Your message touched my heart as a grieving mother myself. Thank you for sharing your story ❤🙏
Regarding Aluminum Dinghy - That's definitely Electrolysis. Most likely from anchor & anchor chain. Temporary repair - Ruff it up with wire wheel , Clean & dry area with acetone , Fill all the holes with JB WELD.
Long term Repair - Bend up a Scrap piece of 16 Guage Aluminum to fit across the " V " in the hull ( inside the dinghy ) in the Affected area. Clean area , Apply 5200 to Entire area. Smush Aluminum patch plate into area. Let 5200 smush out.
Do You have " Zincs " on Maggie ? if not looks like u need them. attach 2. one on each side of Motor on the transom below waterline.
Very inspiring. Thank you. Bless you all ❤
Brian is narrating the natural beauty of this anchorage, with the calm water's mirror-like reflection, the early morning sun lighting the world as only it can, and the camera pans to the bow where Lady Kaz stands , eyes to sea taking in the amazing vista, all while Brian films and describes the beautiful scene. The sight of Kaz standing there, with the outline of her flawless figure standing at the bow as Brian's voice compliments the natural beauty being captured by the camera's eye, made me think how important it is to appreciate the good and wonderful things in our lives! Great video, Brian!
Constant rain for a few days and it continues. Many thanks for allowing me to escape the doldrums, even for a short while!
An anchoring idea: Anchors, windlasses, rode lockers in each bow of the cat. Nylon snubbers with chain hooks on each bow that can reach the other bow. When rode is out, fasten both chain hooks, ease out chain and you have your bridle. Redundant and much easier to use.
Brilllllliant Delos - thanks for sharing ⛵️ 👍
Hey Brian,
You might consider adding West Systems G Flex 655 and Alumbond H-450 to your fabrication arsenal, particularly since your new home will be aluminum. Either of them would do a great job to repair the pitting you're seeing on Maggie provided proper prep before application. G Flex also works well on fiberglass and even roto molded plastic since it remains flexible, and the 655 variant is the consistency of gel toothpaste so it doesn't slump. Alumbond is a fortified epoxy like JB Weld, but it's fortified with aluminum so it doesn't cause galvanic corrosion in aluminum applications.
Another good job Captain.
Yay! I get to watch before work thanks delos 😊
Me too,
The Most , BEAUTIFUL, blues, EVER….
Oh my gosh, thank you for the good morning just the feeling on your face I could sense the sensations of the environment
Wow, such beautiful images you're sending to us! Greatly appreciated!
I like the rivet hole fix. Great making it work engineering.
Thanks for who you are and what you do.
Wow! That water was AMAZINGLY flat. Hard to believe that is an ocean not a lake. Great video.
Those mornings are truly amazing.
That stillness. VIEW. SILENCE.
PRICELESS
Wow! What an amazing place! Gorgeous!
Did I miss something or did the video quality get leagues better in the last few months? You and La Vagabond are absurd top notch video/editing quality
mirror like ocean, love it
Omg what an sight! eye candy, I enjoyed every nanosecond of this amazing perfection of video and nature!
