This episode is so transitional in the delos saga…. I mean the next one hits hard but this one is such a high…theres no where to go but down….for a bit. Its Santosh, its the phillipines, its Raja Ampta, and soon it will be Madagascar. Great journey. Thank you for sharing the adventure.
WOW! Brian this may be one of my favorites too. The first time I watched it I was :"catching up ' on past episodes . Now that I have been following for a few years, I have a MUCH better appreciation for the video. What a wonderful experience that must have been for the crew and captured so lovely. ♥
It is good to know that this beautiful area is being protected by this crew of great men! Those fish appear as ocean flowers! You were so lucky to be invited onboard that ship for a feast and fellowship. Those coconut crabs must be strong to open coconuts! Careful Brady! ❤️⚓️
Such an amazing video! I mean I knew Josje was leaving, but that hit hard! So sorry for the whole crew. I know ya'll have moved on, but dang. On a different note, I wanted ya'll to know that you've inspired me and I went out and bought a small 21' sailboat to take to the lakes around my stomping grounds and start learning! So thank you for that. I wish the best for all the Delos crew and smooth sailing. I continually look forward to seeing your next adventure. It's amazing that ya'll are living a life that most people wouldn't even dream of. Thanks again!
This is my favorite Delos video. It has everything one could ask for. Many Delos videos seem like a factual travel log while this one is more like an episode. Cruiser culture, a callback to the Philippines, good news about coral (finally! yay!), and the crew split is tied in well with previous episodes.
This episode was AWESOME! What a charmed life you all live! Cheers!!! Life is good! I daydream of your lives. I live on a subtropical island and everyone thinks I have it great. All you guys are on a whole different level. DELOS!!!
You are living our dreams. Even after many decades, your clips will remain as something beautiful, a freedom of our lifes, a reminder of being a youth and staying youth forever! If you ever pass Melbourne, come and be my guests.
Hi Delos. As you discovered, the British know how to enjoy themselves, especially when entertaining guests. I'm now watching this for the second time, having recently started re-watching the whole series, from the start. Fair Winds and Following Seas. Russ. UK.
What a wonderful planet we live on! Thank you for sharing this island paradise with us. Josie, I know life goes on and sometimes we have to make very hard choices. I feel like I'm loosing part of my family. I wish you the very best and thank you for sharing your life with us! May the angels watch over you.
so sad to hear Josje leaving, i know its old now, but will be sadly missed in the future videos. Good luck on your mission, Fair winds to the rest of the Delos crew
Such a good episode. A little bit of sailing, a little bit of history, a little bit of nature, a little bit of cruising fun - and then a fairly whopping great bombshell at the end. A veritable roller coaster of an episode. I know these things don't make themselves. Well done crew and production team.
Well stated! Fantastic episode...figured after starting this exact comment it'd be easier to ride in on this one...seeing as how the "bombshell" has me all misty-eyed and its hard to type.
I agree with Evan, your videos are really great to watch, it is hard to see the group break up, though that is the nature of life, sometimes we have to move on to something different. I cannot imagine that this will change the SV Delos plan. keep the good work!
Its rare to see your brother as one of your best mate in todays world. You are lucky Brian and Brody.. I should took my younger brother with me on the trip like this one day and see how it goes.
Just watched my beloved Walking Dead season opener tonight which put me in a bit of a funk. WD fans know what I mean. After that a Delos vid pops up and puts me right where I need to be. There aren't enough superlatives to describe the Delos crew, as you we're exploring that island I felt like a kid exploring with you. Awesome feeling! Brian, if ever you obtain another yacht you should name her 'Endorphin', that's what your vids do for us. Fair winds, safe passages and good health to you all.
Roland Taitt Haha, amen to that! I was soo sad! But this video brought me back up! Although I'm sad to see half of the crew leaving :( they were so amazing.
Sad end to a chapter of an amazing story, I wish Josje, Babs, Max & Frida all the best in their future endeavours and will look forward to watching the rest of Delos's Journey... Great video guys
after catching me watching this latest upload, my wife has declared me officially addicted to Delos videos. She may have a point, it is 2:03am. But hey, I couldn't sleep! and it seems like you guys tend to upload new ones about that time back here in the States. Josje.... you're an adorable personality, a beautiful woman and I'm sure this experience has made you strong enough, adventurous enough and provided you the drive necessary to be successful in what ever direction your new course sends you. You'll be dearly missed from future videos! I can't imagine how the rest of you feel about her leaving. Happy, excited and sad all wrapped together. "wrinkles only go where smiles have been" (Jimmy Buffet). keep on smiling ;)
another nice episode. sad to hear josje is leaving she has a wonderful experience at her age. thank for sharing your adventure guys love it much. hope you will back in philippines. fair wind to all...
You all make me SO happy! How amazing is this [are these] video[s] of Chagos. I watch and then re-watch later. Well presented mix of history, geography, oceanography, biology, and cruiser fun. This is why I've joined the tribe and "bought you a beer" or 2 or 3 or more. Yes. This buds for you.
Thanks so much Doug, we really appreciate that. Chagos is an amazing place and sure has a mix of history.... Fair winds to you and thank you so much for the support, it is what makes it all possible. Cheers! Brian
When we first saw this we had no idea this was the end of what I felt was a fabulous era for Delos. Not that Delos became less of an entity, but it was never the same after this. I loved the years prior to to this most of all. This episode was over the top with discovery, adventure, and happiness. Or so it seemed. That said, the island is about the change. It is most likely in the process of being returned to its original inhabitants ! The decision has been made, vote taken by the UN, and folks should watch closely from now on as incredible things may happen ! A new generation.
What a great video guys. You really had a cascade of good fortune with the fishing then to be invited to a BBQ in the absolute middle of nowhere. Tis truly the "Life of Riley" you are living.
What a great Delos crew.....and sad to see Josje, one of my favorite sailors leave ship, for hopefully a wonderful new adventure. Hard to imagine a better episode than this one.....but I've found with Delos, that is very possible.
Great video again. Sad to see you're losing a crew member, but I guess it can't go on forever huh? People go their own ways. Looking forward to next week.
I was a Navy Sea Bee that was stationed on Diego Garcia from October 1971 to June of 72. When I got there, it was still pretty much the way the native people left it. It was, without a doubt, the most beautiful place I had ever been. The roads were just wide enough for one donkey cart. The huts were still there along with the donkeys. There was also an abandoned jail. The natives hadn't been gone long..
I spent 10 months on Diego Garcia in 1971. When I got there, the island was still pristine and the copra plantation was still operating. I arrived by sea from California and flew out on a C 130 off the air strip we built. It was one of the best times in my life except for the part where we ruined the lives of the people who lived there, Thanks for bringing it all back with your UA-cam video.
One of my favorite episodes by far! But, also one of the saddest. I know it's all for the best and I wish you all the best of luck. Keep your heads up and continue making memories. Thank you for bringing us along and motivating us to make changes in our lives so we can pursue the things that truly make us happy. There is nothing like living a life worth remembering!
One door closes and another opens. Some people travel to lose themselves and some travel to find themselves. Something you don't know until you are done. The worst that can happen is you end up with a lifetime of memories and stories to tell. Good luck to all the Delos Tribe.
I'm stuck back here in Michigan, facing the WINTER! boy do I miss my sailboat and friends back in Key West, Fl. great clips guys, thanks for making me homesick ;)
Hello to the crew I just watched the latest episode on my 60 inch plasma TV it was almost like being there with you. The underwater photography just looked lovely crisp and clear ! I've sent you some beer money from time to time more to come soon. I know the crew has changed and look forward to meeting or seeing your new crew. I am falling in love with you guys! I know it kind of sounds weird even though we've never met face-to-face but somehow I feel part of the crew too. Fairwind my friends and following seas too. I wish all the crew past and present peace and love, Mike McHale
Josje, we will miss you. Your life adventures with Delos and her crew will last a life time for you. God bless and protect you in the continuing life you have chosen.
I just wanted to say Thank You for sharing your awesome journey's! I really look forward to each episode! Your journeys remind me of all the journey's and expeditions I did when I was your age.I wish each and everyone of you all the very best! Be safe!
the same goes for me i was taking time out in a tropical place and a local told me about sv delos on you tube. i watched it and i feel i have graduated into my growth and freedom and somehow these videos have synchronised with my immediate life on land,. thank you for taking us on your journey. keep well.
This Caribbean sailor is super stoked to watch and vicariously participate in your upcoming adventures. You are following closely the wake of legendary sailors/authors Fatty and Caroline Goodlander. With any luck you can catch up with them in South Africa and include them in a video.
You guys are a day ahead of schedule! Well for the regular youtubers. Wow! Even better than the last video! So sad to Josje saying she is leaving even though its been known for so long. Totem crew are just the rock stars of cruising! Seems they have blazed the path with 3 kids for the rest of the cruising world! I think I would stay for whole permit before moving on. It would also be really great if the true Chagosians were allowed back on the island! I could see that enviromentalists may also be behind not wanting anyone to live on the island as it's so remote and with the way our world is getting overpopulated its one of the rarely touched places on earth.
Hey Jonathan, You hit on some key points here! 1) Totem are rockstars. 2) It sucks that the Chagosians got kicked off their land so Diego Garcia could be turned into a military base But.... 3) Now it' s one of largest uninhabited marine preserves on the planet. We have such mixed feelings about it all.....
Delos! Thanks for a reply 2 videos in a row! Well you guys are a close 2nd behind Totem! As for you point #3 I totally agree per the end of my comment. After watching so many sailing videos showing how the galapagos islands are so commercialized along with many exotic places along the way. Chagos reminds me of the extreme out islands of Hawaii where no one is permitted. Full of trash also! I feel these islands will used to analyze the heath of many reefs around the world. No settlement will ever be rebuilt there. maybe a few small building for scientists but most like they'll live on ships like this one. In the end there will always be cultures that are taken over or removed. Its happened for millions of years. When the earth gets sick of us destroying her she'll get rid of humans just like she did in the past to those that came before us.
What a triumph! This was the best episode I have seen since the dynamite bombers. I am so happy they return to the Indian Ocean next season. Wow! Why can't you eat the coconut crabs?
Josha, one of best videos ever....I think it cuz, the abandoned sailor Hilton & what happened to Chagoans...plus the BBQ on the Pacific Marlin 😀 catch more fish 🐋
That was fantastic! Such a nice job showing the health of the reefs. This was a great example of how I used to interact when our ship would come across cruisers. All research ships enjoy the interaction with cruisers, especially in the tropics. Thank you. Just so you know, the German ships usually have the best beers. Our American ships can't throw a party with alcohol unless we're on land.
Wow, this video is awesome, guys you are living a lifetime experience. So wonderful is been young and healthy. This video went the extra mile. I am living your adventure. Keep doing what you are doing.
Found SV Delos while checking out a friends sailing vid. Great that UA-cam tossed this my way. After watching, I wasted my youth. Should have taken up sailing and had the fun and freedom you enjoy. Keep the vids coming. Fair winds and following seas.
Josje I know has left Delos maybe a year ago, But this still made me sad. I know she is doing Great at her own thing but I hope she Comes back in the near future! Great Vid again, Love you Guys!
Yes, they keep doing it, in fact they're about to sail from Madagascar to Southafrica. Follow them on Instagram and Facebook, they post quite often where they are. Greetings from Mexico!
yes they are originally filmed about 1 year ago, but you have to think about the fact that they are out there in the middle of nowhere sailing for months at a time. Most tv shows and movies are filmed months or years in advance to their release. The quality of their product speaks for itself. Brian and crew keep up the awesome work.
+swissmrkc Go to their website and read the blog section. The current youtube vids coincide with the 2015 blogs. There's even an entry by Josje explaining her departure (and links to her website). They've already had three new people (two dudes and a hippie yoga chick) on and off the boat since then.
This was really special viewing. Reminded me of North West Island Great Barrier Reef, splendid isolation and all that goes with it (like scarce fresh food too)!
Another great video. I have really enjoyed going back and watching (catching up) all the older videos from the start of your adventures. I have just about caught up with all of the episodes. You have met some amazing people all over the world. Thank you a lot for sharing your life with all of us that can't do what you are doing. Keep the videos coming.
Mabuhay! Glad to see you ran into my people.,,,,,,,,it's not hard to be nice to guys like you all! What a great episode and at the same time sad to see and hear Josje 's formal announcement though this was last year!😞But we wish her best of luck in her new adventure and ventures☀️️Hope to see come back even as a guest in Delos sometime , after all she is family, isn't she? We love you guys!!! Peace and fair winds ⛵️️🚣 Oh my husband Edd says hi , he's in the Philippines right now until Nov 1st .........Your. biggest fans, 🇵🇭 Tess 🇵🇭
I like the holy mackerel comment when they caught a snapper! Great vid Brian...reminiscent of some of the old favorites! I hope you can keep the magic going after some of the crew leaves.
Hey thanks guys, you people have motivated me and my girl friend to seek out new adventures on the water. The name of our boat is Too old knot to, as I retired a year ago.
Wow. You all are having (have had?) such an adventure - my envy cannot be measured. Sadly though the day comes that we have been dreading, Josje is heading home. but not only Josje, but dear, dear Babs as well. But the only constant in life is change, so there we are.
That looked like one of those surreal situations with BIOT that you have to be there to comprehend. That must have been great. I know that this footage occurred quite a while back, but Josje Rama is really going to be missed. I feel like she has grown so much while watching her on Delos. I suppose everybody has. Because she is so young it seems more obvious. I admire each person on Delos for so many different parts of their character. Josje Rama has such an uplifting spirit. I am glad you all have been able to share such rewarding experiences together. Based on the loving nature of the SVD crew I am sure you are all thankful for each other. I hope that it is not too difficult editing this particular footage. Love, Prayers, and Warm wishes to you guys. Fair winds and great travel to you. Thanks Marty
Yeah. It's a tragic story. I'm actually Ilôis (Chagossian) myself. The British slaughtered all our pets, destroyed our homes and exiled us from the islands to make way for an army base. This all happened in the 60's-70's, way before I was born, so I'm glad that you made this video because it allows me to see the true beauty of the islands. It's like everybody is on the island apart from the one group of people who own the islands. Hope this comment helped people understand the controversy.
It is such an amazing place! So one with nature 😍 I can’t believe things like that happend in the 60’s-70’s……I have never heard of it before. I hope to one day visit this beautiful piece of paradise.
Now if this video doesn't increase the subscription count I don't know what will? Superb vid guys taking us to places the majority will never see. The crew of the BIOT certainly spoilt you with a great feast what a nice bunch of people - Big thumbs up on this one but a bit of a tear jerker at the end.
Thankyou guys for such an amazing episode. Watching you guys over the years I have learned a lot about places and people. You guys are true Sailor's. I'm heartbroken to hear that Yosh is leaving Delos. she has been integral part of this crew. I'm sure going to miss her. Good luck on your future endeavor aND hope to see you back on Delos.
This is my #1 favorite Delos episode. This video is SO good. Love you all.
For me, Josje was at the very heart of Delos. She will be sorely missed. Thank you for all of your hard work, you are appreciated.
This episode is so transitional in the delos saga…. I mean the next one hits hard but this one is such a high…theres no where to go but down….for a bit. Its Santosh, its the phillipines, its Raja Ampta, and soon it will be Madagascar. Great journey. Thank you for sharing the adventure.
Para mi fue la mejor serie de vídeos, el cruce del índico, no volvió a ser igual todo.
Where are you from mate?
WOW! Brian this may be one of my favorites too.
The first time I watched it I was :"catching up ' on past episodes . Now that I have been following for a few years, I have a MUCH better appreciation for the video. What a wonderful experience that must have been for the crew and captured so lovely. ♥
How blessed you all are to take a voyage like this. Beautiful part of the world you're experiencing.
It is good to know that this beautiful area is being protected by this crew of great men! Those fish appear as ocean flowers! You were so lucky to be invited onboard that ship for a feast and fellowship. Those coconut crabs must be strong to open coconuts! Careful Brady! ❤️⚓️
Such an amazing video! I mean I knew Josje was leaving, but that hit hard! So sorry for the whole crew. I know ya'll have moved on, but dang. On a different note, I wanted ya'll to know that you've inspired me and I went out and bought a small 21' sailboat to take to the lakes around my stomping grounds and start learning! So thank you for that. I wish the best for all the Delos crew and smooth sailing. I continually look forward to seeing your next adventure. It's amazing that ya'll are living a life that most people wouldn't even dream of. Thanks again!
This is my favorite Delos video. It has everything one could ask for. Many Delos videos seem like a factual travel log while this one is more like an episode. Cruiser culture, a callback to the Philippines, good news about coral (finally! yay!), and the crew split is tied in well with previous episodes.
This episode was AWESOME! What a charmed life you all live! Cheers!!! Life is good! I daydream of your lives. I live on a subtropical island and everyone thinks I have it great. All you guys are on a whole different level. DELOS!!!
You are living our dreams. Even after many decades, your clips will remain as something beautiful, a freedom of our lifes, a reminder of being a youth and staying youth forever! If you ever pass Melbourne, come and be my guests.

I forgot to ask, is Babs staying on?
so sad to hear Josje leaving, i know its old now, but will be sadly missed in the future videos. Good luck on your mission, Fair winds to the rest of the Delos crew
Stunning. Y'all are living the life. Best to Josje and Brady, and all.
So jealous of you guys getting to live life so free in absolute paradise... Always wanted to do what you guys are doin...Love it live it
Paradise, where people have been deported by the Brits to give a military base to the U.S. Western hypocrisy at it's best !
Cool video. Glad to see the British helping to preserve the coral reefs.You all had good times !
Such a good episode. A little bit of sailing, a little bit of history, a little bit of nature, a little bit of cruising fun - and then a fairly whopping great bombshell at the end. A veritable roller coaster of an episode. I know these things don't make themselves. Well done crew and production team.
Well stated! Fantastic episode...figured after starting this exact comment it'd be easier to ride in on this one...seeing as how the "bombshell" has me all misty-eyed and its hard to type.
Michael Paul Henderson agreed.its gonna be missin a piece.
People of the Chagos were deported by the Brits to make a U.S base!
ண்ஹண@@robplotts9412
Impressive underwater video!!! You guys don't have a bad video!!! This one is amazingly funny as well!
What a great video. Really puts you faith back in humanity. So sad about Josh leaving Delos.
The only thing guaranteed in life is change. When one door closes, another door opens and a new chapter begins!! Good luck on your changes Delos!
Chagos is one of your best videos from Delos. It has all the elements of your lifestyle.
Great episode....one of the best! That was the greatest example of hospitality that I've ever seen!
Fair winds Delos!
Bryan from Vancouver Canada
I agree with Evan, your videos are really great to watch, it is hard to see the group break up, though that is the nature of life, sometimes we have to move on to something different. I cannot imagine that this will change the SV Delos plan. keep the good work!
I just realized that Brady was releaving himself in part of the video!
Its rare to see your brother as one of your best mate in todays world. You are lucky Brian and Brody.. I should took my younger brother with me on the trip like this one day and see how it goes.
Just watched my beloved Walking Dead season opener tonight which put me in a bit of a funk. WD fans know what I mean. After that a Delos vid pops up and puts me right where I need to be.

Proof Delos does it better than anyone else on utube. Such a great vibe all around.
I was not expecting that at the end. I knew she left but wow! Another great show! Thanks for sharing your lives and adventure.
I was wondering what had happened, everyone seemed to get along so well, and the chemistry was fantastic........good luck on your journeys
If you can't wait for next week...
svdelos.com/2015/11/rama-bound-by-josje/
In a word, Fantastic! On a sad note, it is terrible how the Chagos people were treated :(
DEPORTED. A crime against humanity
Sad end to a chapter of an amazing story, I wish Josje, Babs, Max & Frida all the best in their future endeavours and will look forward to watching the rest of Delos's Journey... Great video guys
What a great episode ...I so hope she returns to Delos soon she is such a part of the team ..I'm heartbroken
This happened like a year ago dude
Does that matter much? we dont know and we're following the timeline of delos vids
She has her own side videos up showing her departure. And after seeing her online presence, I don't think she is going to be going back.
DesertSquid where?
It is a shame Frida convinced her to leave, best to Josje, onward and upward Delos and Brady.
after catching me watching this latest upload, my wife has declared me officially addicted to Delos videos. She may have a point, it is 2:03am.

hahahaha dont worry i am addicted to Delos videos too
Thanks for the kind words, really means a lot!
Trophy 205 - dude, I've pulled on nighters on these videos!
One priceless things in life is when you meet awesome people accross the world. Once in a lifetime experience
another nice episode. sad to hear josje is leaving she has a wonderful experience at her age. thank for sharing your adventure guys love it much. hope you will back in philippines. fair wind to all...

I can’t wait to see a BIOT Patrol lol. How nice of folks to bring y’all aboard and even give ya bunks and breakfast. WOW
Well here's another place that is off the end of the world for me. Thanks for bringing us along. All the best to The crew.
I spent 8 months on De Diego Garcia building th Nave base in the 70s. bring back lots of memories, thanks for the great video.
I was a Navy Sea Bee that was stationed on Diego Garcia from October 1971 to June of 72. When I got there, it was still pretty much the way the native people left it. It was, without a doubt, the most beautiful place I had ever been. The roads were just wide enough for one donkey cart. The huts were still there along with the donkeys. There was also an abandoned jail. The natives hadn't been gone long..
I will miss Josje. I hope she returns to Delos. I hope all is ok. Your videos are the best. Please keep it up and NO one leave! Thank You.
I spent 10 months on Diego Garcia in 1971. When I got there, the island was still pristine and the copra plantation was still operating. I arrived by sea from California and flew out on a C 130 off the air strip we built. It was one of the best times in my life except for the part where we ruined the lives of the people who lived there, Thanks for bringing it all back with your UA-cam video.
How are they allowed when Mauritian and Chagossian needs permission and still shedding tears for their island
One of my favorite episodes by far! But, also one of the saddest. I know it's all for the best and I wish you all the best of luck. Keep your heads up and continue making memories. Thank you for bringing us along and motivating us to make changes in our lives so we can pursue the things that truly make us happy. There is nothing like living a life worth remembering!
One door closes and another opens. Some people travel to lose themselves and some travel to find themselves. Something you don't know until you are done. The worst that can happen is you end up with a lifetime of memories and stories to tell. Good luck to all the Delos Tribe.
Watching all the videos from this one back... best UA-cam channel ever
Josje obviously enjoyed life onboard Delos, but now she wants to work on her future. Clever kid !
Things change.
Brian does a bang up job of documenting their passages among history.
I'm stuck back here in Michigan, facing the WINTER! boy do I miss my sailboat and friends back in Key West, Fl. great clips guys, thanks for making me homesick ;)
Hello to the crew I just watched the latest episode on my 60 inch plasma TV it was almost like being there with you. The underwater photography just looked lovely crisp and clear ! I've sent you some beer money from time to time more to come soon. I know the crew has changed and look forward to meeting or seeing your new crew. I am falling in love with you guys! I know it kind of sounds weird even though we've never met face-to-face but somehow I feel part of the crew too. Fairwind my friends and following seas too. I wish all the crew past and present peace and love,
Mike McHale
I like it when reality becomes art. Someone changing direction- was just a matter of time.
THAT was SO AWESOME My Cheeks hurt from Smiling 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
What a pleasant surprise! A new video from Delos! LBW (Like before watching)
Leg Before Wicket
La Bamba Wee! Lol
Josje, we will miss you. Your life adventures with Delos and her crew will last a life time for you. God bless and protect you in the continuing life you have chosen.
Lol omg
Great episode, the British hospitality really made it for me considering this world is so full of hatred these days. Thanks !
I started watching the episodes without skipping forward at all and when I saw Josje was leaving my heart almost stopped.
I just wanted to say Thank You for sharing your awesome journey's! I really look forward to each episode! Your journeys remind me of all the journey's and expeditions I did when I was your age.I wish each and everyone of you all the very best! Be safe!
So sad Josje has left you. Her smile kept me smiling in my evenings I escaped from my life! Wish the best for her!
your editing skills are awesome! your show has helped me dream again. thank you delos crew.❤ I love my delos T-shirt.
I agree, their vid skill set is top notch!!
the same goes for me i was taking time out in a tropical place and a local told me about sv delos on you tube. i watched it and i feel i have graduated into my growth and freedom and somehow these videos have synchronised with my immediate life on land,. thank you for taking us on your journey. keep well.

This Caribbean sailor is super stoked to watch and vicariously participate in your upcoming adventures. You are following closely the wake of legendary sailors/authors Fatty and Caroline Goodlander. With any luck you can catch up with them in South Africa and include them in a video.
Cool, save the fish and go BBQ. Absolutely one of the best videos I've seen on UA-cam in a long time.
You guys are a day ahead of schedule! Well for the regular youtubers. Wow! Even better than the last video! So sad to Josje saying she is leaving even though its been known for so long.
Totem crew are just the rock stars of cruising! Seems they have blazed the path with 3 kids for the rest of the cruising world!
I think I would stay for whole permit before moving on. It would also be really great if the true Chagosians were allowed back on the island! I could see that enviromentalists may also be behind not wanting anyone to live on the island as it's so remote and with the way our world is getting overpopulated its one of the rarely touched places on earth.
Hey Jonathan, You hit on some key points here! 1) Totem are rockstars. 2) It sucks that the Chagosians got kicked off their land so Diego Garcia could be turned into a military base But.... 3) Now it' s one of largest uninhabited marine preserves on the planet. We have such mixed feelings about it all.....
Delos! Thanks for a reply 2 videos in a row! Well you guys are a close 2nd behind Totem! As for you point #3 I totally agree per the end of my comment. After watching so many sailing videos showing how the galapagos islands are so commercialized along with many exotic places along the way. Chagos reminds me of the extreme out islands of Hawaii where no one is permitted. Full of trash also!
I feel these islands will used to analyze the heath of many reefs around the world. No settlement will ever be rebuilt there. maybe a few small building for scientists but most like they'll live on ships like this one.
In the end there will always be cultures that are taken over or removed. Its happened for millions of years. When the earth gets sick of us destroying her she'll get rid of humans just like she did in the past to those that came before us.
And with good feelings.
did i hear you guys say trolling along
What a triumph! This was the best episode I have seen since the dynamite bombers. I am so happy they return to the Indian Ocean next season. Wow! Why can't you eat the coconut crabs?
Josha, one of best videos ever....I think it cuz, the abandoned sailor Hilton & what happened to Chagoans...plus the BBQ on the Pacific Marlin 😀 catch more fish 🐋
That was fantastic! Such a nice job showing the health of the reefs. This was a great example of how I used to interact when our ship would come across cruisers. All research ships enjoy the interaction with cruisers, especially in the tropics. Thank you. Just so you know, the German ships usually have the best beers. Our American ships can't throw a party with alcohol unless we're on land.
That was so awesome meeting up with other Sailors. They indeed know how to show a good time.
Nature scenes especially of the coral reefs, were wonderful.
The Biot Crew what a awsome group of people so kind of them just awsome! And youre editing on point as always Amazing!!
You guys are simply a blast! Thanks for allowing us a peek at your world😎
Awesome the meeting up with the crew of th BIOT, it shows that hospatility goes a long way
Change is the only thing permanent, blessings Delos
Wow, this video is awesome, guys you are living a lifetime experience. So wonderful is been young and healthy. This video went the extra mile. I am living your adventure. Keep doing what you are doing.
Hey Delos, such a Super Fantastic video! Wow, just another lousy day in Paradise. Enjoyed it to the max.
Great episode an emotional end after a lot of fun experiences, like a movie!
Delos gee your better and better such a great vid guys verry well done quality production. Inspiring wow. Keep up se love you from Canada
Found SV Delos while checking out a friends sailing vid. Great that UA-cam tossed this my way. After watching, I wasted my youth. Should have taken up sailing and had the fun and freedom you enjoy. Keep the vids coming. Fair winds and following seas.
Seriously, this is the best video series ever created. I'm rivited!
Josje I know has left Delos maybe a year ago, But this still made me sad. I know she is doing Great at her own thing but I hope she Comes back in the near future! Great Vid again, Love you Guys!
Patrick Hogan wait these are a year behind? why so? fill me in. are they even still sailing now
Yes, they keep doing it, in fact they're about to sail from Madagascar to Southafrica. Follow them on Instagram and Facebook, they post quite often where they are.
Greetings from Mexico!
yes they are originally filmed about 1 year ago, but you have to think about the fact that they are out there in the middle of nowhere sailing for months at a time. Most tv shows and movies are filmed months or years in advance to their release. The quality of their product speaks for itself. Brian and crew keep up the awesome work.
+swissmrkc Go to their website and read the blog section. The current youtube vids coincide with the 2015 blogs. There's even an entry by Josje explaining her departure (and links to her website).
They've already had three new people (two dudes and a hippie yoga chick) on and off the boat since then.
pk13910 wow ok thanks
This was really special viewing. Reminded me of North West Island Great Barrier Reef, splendid isolation and all that goes with it (like scarce fresh food too)!
Watching some old episodes. Fun times.
Another great video. I have really enjoyed going back and watching (catching up) all the older videos from the start of your adventures. I have just about caught up with all of the episodes. You have met some amazing people all over the world. Thank you a lot for sharing your life with all of us that can't do what you are doing. Keep the videos coming.
Mabuhay! Glad to see you ran into my people.,,,,,,,,it's not hard to be nice to guys like you all! What a great episode and at the same time sad to see and hear Josje 's formal announcement though this was last year!😞But we wish her best of luck in her new adventure and ventures☀️️Hope to see come back even as a guest in Delos sometime , after all she is family, isn't she? We love you guys!!! Peace and fair winds ⛵️️🚣 Oh my husband Edd says hi , he's in the Philippines right now until Nov 1st .........Your. biggest fans, 🇵🇭 Tess 🇵🇭
I'm glad that you mentioned the chagossians since you are enjoying their land for a little time, the respectful thing to do is to pay tribute to them
I like the holy mackerel comment when they caught a snapper! Great vid Brian...reminiscent of some of the old favorites! I hope you can keep the magic going after some of the crew leaves.
Hey thanks guys, you people have motivated me and my girl friend to seek out new adventures on the water. The name of our boat is Too old knot to, as I retired a year ago.
Chagosian pickers! Enjoyed this almost as much as the Cocos ep and the Sari shopping ep.
Wow. You all are having (have had?) such an adventure - my envy cannot be measured. Sadly though the day comes that we have been dreading, Josje is heading home. but not only Josje, but dear, dear Babs as well. But the only constant in life is change, so there we are.
That looked like one of those surreal situations with BIOT that you have to be there to comprehend. That must have been great. I know that this footage occurred quite a while back, but Josje Rama is really going to be missed. I feel like she has grown so much while watching her on Delos. I suppose everybody has. Because she is so young it seems more obvious. I admire each person on Delos for so many different parts of their character. Josje Rama has such an uplifting spirit. I am glad you all have been able to share such rewarding experiences together. Based on the loving nature of the SVD crew I am sure you are all thankful for each other. I hope that it is not too difficult editing this particular footage. Love, Prayers, and Warm wishes to you guys.
Fair winds and great travel to you.
Thanks
Marty
I hope you guys never stop doing this incredible videos and adventures you guys have inspired me to travel
Yeah. It's a tragic story. I'm actually Ilôis (Chagossian) myself. The British slaughtered all our pets, destroyed our homes and exiled us from the islands to make way for an army base. This all happened in the 60's-70's, way before I was born, so I'm glad that you made this video because it allows me to see the true beauty of the islands. It's like everybody is on the island apart from the one group of people who own the islands. Hope this comment helped people understand the controversy.
A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY !
It is such an amazing place! So one with nature 😍 I can’t believe things like that happend in the 60’s-70’s……I have never heard of it before. I hope to one day visit this beautiful piece of paradise.
I really needed something to make me smile today. Wow did you deliver... Cheers. Eric
Have a good life Josha
My god that was a cool vid. The looks on your faces at the Barbie , priceless.
It sure is great to see a healthy reef . good on you guys to respect it as well.fair weather to you ,safe passage.
@91:45; Ha Ha did I just see and hear a laugh/snort??? Truly an unbridled show of emotion from our English friends!!! ;-)
Now if this video doesn't increase the subscription count I don't know what will?
Superb vid guys taking us to places the majority will never see. The crew of the BIOT certainly spoilt you with a great feast what a nice bunch of people - Big thumbs up on this one but a bit of a tear jerker at the end.

Thankyou guys for such an amazing episode. Watching you guys over the years I have learned a lot about places and people. You guys are true Sailor's. I'm heartbroken to hear that Yosh is leaving Delos. she has been integral part of this crew. I'm sure going to miss her. Good luck on your future endeavor aND hope to see you back on Delos.
