Lush, Remote, EXOTIC (We Sailed 3 WEEKS To Get Here) Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 425
🕑 Added 2023-08-11 13:32:23 +0000 UTCAhoy Friends! Can't wait to share our first proper adventures in French Polynesia with you. Fatu Hiva is truly a dream, and we were completely blown away at every turn. We're anchored in the Bay of Virgins, and one of the iconic features of this anchorage is a waterfront perfectly manicured soccer field. So of course we had to take to the grass and give our legs a proper workout after being confined to a 53 foot bubble for nearly 3 weeks. This would be just the first of our immersions into the local culture here, and we enjoy a beautiful local Polynesian dinner, and Conor even gets a tattoo with a HILARIOUS twist 😂 Now that Sierra is getting a bit older and becoming more and more perceptive, it feels so amazing to show her all the different ways that people live. Different languages, cultures, scenery, big cities, remote villages. This is one of the things we are most grateful about in our lifestyle is to be able to give Sierra such a broad range of experiences and to make her feel like there isn't one set path in life. We hope you enjoy this video, and as always, thank you so much for supporting us and coming along on this beautiful voyage with us 🫶
Big hugs from all of us,
Brian, Kazza, & Sierra

I can't be the only one who sees a face in the rocks above the soccer field? It's pretty obvious. Beautiful experience guys.

Brian, Kazaa, and all the rest of Delos family, what an outstanding video! Amazing and incredible visuals abound! Thank you seems somewhat lacking for all you have given us in this episode! I am very glad to see you healthy and enjoying life! Blessings to you all for sharing this with us and continued prayers for you all as you continue your journey! Fair winds and following seas!

Hey Shelly, Luckily when flying from the boat there's usually very few people around to worry about, and once it's up high you can't hear it from other boats and stuff. And there are only a handful of countries that don't allow drones, we've only visited one of them (Madagascar) but when we were there it was before they banned them :) The only time we've ever run into an issue was in Brazil when we flew it at the Christ the Redeemer statue and we did get told we had to land it and got a little slap on the wrist.

We weren't sure exactly, they don't actually tell you the reason it's restricted, but we changed the thumbnail and a few other little things in the video just in case when we uploaded the version that goes out to the public on YouTube. So far so good 🤞
Shelly Ackerman
Spectacular! What a great place to land after so long at sea! Curious how you handle the drone in new places, regarding not bothering other people but also if they are even allowed to be flown there.
Colleen Balch
So was it the thumbnail that had it restricted?
Sailing SV Delos

What a gorgeous tatoo!!! Don't think I could handle 8 hours, though.❤️⛵️
Sean Martin
Things I learned today: I am probably not tough enough to get a tattoo, and Sierra is already a better camera operator than I am. ;) Seriously though, great episode, thank you! <3

Lisa: nice to see your face.
Michael Conway
WOW I think that's the most beautiful place I've ever seen.

Every Friday I'm working on sailor stuff and the video is great motivation. Will post something in community about the first race ever.
Robert Beger
Magical place. Just like I imagined. So wonderful to see that schoenes Maedchen aus Oesterreich. Miss you Lisa.
Lowell McCormick
What did Connor's wife think about the tattoo?
Marisa Conner
Oh wow! How amazing is this place! So happy for you all to be experiencing it and thanks for sharing it with us!
Scott C. Wise
Sounds like a good one! Let's see . . . Very good indeed. A tropical paradise as they say. That meal looked tasty and that waterfall! It was very TALL. Glad you found it this time. Finally, the Chicken Nugget comment was LOL funny. Now, if Sierra was part Scottish she could be a McNugget. : - )
Myra Slepoy
Excellent video!!! It really captures the vibe and beauty.
