Saying Goodbye to THIS....Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 435
🕑 Added 2023-10-27 21:14:55 +0000 UTCHey hey Patreon Fam! Sorry this one's coming at ya a bit later than usual, we just finished our passage back to the Tuamotu Islands 🤩 We are slowly starting to make our way back towards the Marquesas to dodge the cyclone season, and of course we couldn't resist spending a bit more time this unbelievable part of the world.
In this week's episode we trade isolation for some big city livin! We had just arrived to Tahiti, the largest and one of the most iconic islands of French Polynesia. We had a few boxes to tick here- we hadn't done a big provisioning in about 4 months since leaving Mexico. I needed to handle some visa stuff, and we also wanted to just enjoy some of the comforts and luxuries of civilization after spending so much time in incredibly remote areas.
We also celebrate Sierra's 4th birthday, and ohhhh my goodness there is a lot of cuteness to unpack in this one 🥹 Where has the time gone?! Can't believe what a kind, intelligent, resilient, funny, and sweet little human she is becoming, and we are so stinking proud of her every single day. We celebrate her birthday with some whale watching (a little too close for comfort for Kazza at one point even 😂 ) and a beach day & cake with friends. I can't wait to see where in the world we will celebrate her 5th birthday!
Sending lots of love from a little sandy speck in the middle of the Pacific Ocean 🥰
Brian, Kazza, & Sierra

Happy birthday Sierra! I love that you left the part with the lighter not working I there. Nice job editors! Oh the description of time going slow, but fast at age 4 is perfect. But soon it will just go by fast.

The saying goes "The days are long and the years are short". I'm pretty sure every parent knows what you mean.

Sierra had a great time even though the surprise of her birthday presents came a bit early when she snuck into our cabin and ripped them all open 😂

What a fabulous birthday present- WHALES!! That is one lucky 4 year old! So happy that Brian got his visa extended and you can continue to explore paradise. Thanks for taking us with you! ❤️⛵️

I grew up watching Jacques Cousteau and Marlin Perkins, as they shared incredible footage of nature in its purest form via a tiny TV set in my family’s living room. Watching you guys share that amazing whale breach with Sierra, all I can imagine is that she is going to grow up with an unbreakable bond with nature and all it has to offer. What an amazing gift you are giving her as parents.
Jackie Martin Light
Happy 🎂 Birthday sweet girl
Jeff Mack
Sierra's birthday party looked like a lot of fun and the gift from those whales was amazing!
Jeff Fischer
So much fun to see Sierra grow up! You guys have done such a good job as parents. We homeschooled three of our own, and I'm sure you've already started down that path. I can tell you from experience, they learn so much from Mom and Dad just explaining the world around them as they show interest and ask questions.
Lisa & Claude

It's lookin' like a good one! I can't watch right now because I have to visit my mother at her "new" Nursing/Rehab facility. But I will watch ASAP. (quite a while later) I don't know how you do it! Such wonderful episodes. : - D While I know Sierra was 4 back in early August, I will still say "HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIERRA!" It's actually your 5th birthday since the day you were born was your actual "first" birthday. : - ) From now to next Friday, . . . I can't wait to see what comes next! : - )
