Enjoy paradise, you deserve it smooth sailing in Polynesia many beautiful islands to see and people’s

Captain Jim

Talk about an iconic setting- wishing you continued smooth sailing through the islands! Inspiration to sailors with shorter cruising plans.

Erdem Arican

Thanks for all the info🫶 They were saying you have to buy a new dishy if you wanna switch to a different country’s plan. I hope that isn’t a requirement anymore.

Sailing SV Delos

Yeah for sure! We are in contact with a few others life Parley Revival and One Life and hope to meet up with them soon. I think they are arriving any day now!

Sailing SV Delos

Okay Sam we will!

Sailing SV Delos

It's pretty amazing, low 80's F (27C) and very refreshing!

Sailing SV Delos

Conor flew home when we first arrived but Hannah is sticking with us for a while longer.

Sailing SV Delos

Ha ha it's been so long it's familiar for sure but everything feels new and fresh. so happy to be here :) so we're hitting both some new and some places I went before.

Sailing SV Delos

Yep, Hannah is still here with us!

Hey Erdem- we're actually still on the Roam plan, but they have forced everyone to use Mobile Priority data if you are on the water. So effectively we pay $2.50 / GB right now. Part of the problem is we're still on a Mexican plan, and I want to move to a US plan because it's actually cheaper, and then we can move to one of the maritime plans. The only issue is you have to cancel and transfer the service and if something goes wrong I don't want us to lose connectivity. So for now we will just stay on the per GB plan. We're using 20-25 GB a day so it's a bit pricey but we do what we need to do....

We're headed to the Tuamotus pretty soon, epic diving there!

Juan David

You guys meeting up with some of the other YT sailors that are crossing?

Sam Gardner

What a great swim in from the boat. Please keep us up to date with https://svdelos.com/sailing-travel-blog/wheres-delos/ Its the second thing I do when I start my work computer everyday. Can't wait to see your sail from Tahuata to Hiva Oa and Nuku Hiva

Andy Klevorn

What's the water temp like?

Scott C. Wise

Thanks so much for the update! I sure wish I was there with you. Are your two (new) crew members still with you?

Sadie Johnson

Awesome update! Brian, has it been strange revisiting places you have already been? Or are you hitting only new spots?

Hillary Horn

You all look happy and well. Thanks for the update.

Sean Martin

Looks like absolute paradise. Enjoy guys, you earned it! I agree with others, looks like Sierra took a big developmental leap in the last month. Don't blink, she'll be standing watch soon! <3

Rick Perkaus

Sierra is having a blast! Safe travels from Rick and Stephanie in Florida.

Shaniko Jack

I agree with Tracy Lynn. Sierra appears to be a little more grown up since you left Mexico.

Mark Singleton

Y’all still have any crew with you?

David Hagler

Great update. Enjoy the islands!

Erdem Arican

Hey can you give more insight about Starlink connection? I know SL started to become more strict about their geofencing and mobility features/plans since May 19th. Did you switch to 50GB priority data Marine plan(I know you would eat 50GB up in a day🤣) or you’re still on RV plan? It’d be surprising if you’re on RV plan and you still have some connection even though it is intermittent. But hey you never know what’s happening with SL nowadays and things change pretty quickly.

Anne West

Awesome start to the 2nd spin around old Earth. Looking forward to some diving videos...when might you be in good diving waters again?

Myra Slepoy

Fabulous update, so happy and healthy!!! thanks!!

Erdem Arican

Wow! Only footprints on the beach belong to you! That looks like a gorgeous place to spare some time😃 You guys definitely deserved it after a long and successful passage. Hopefully I’ll follow your footsteps someday. I’m only about 25 sailing days away from you here in San Fran😂

Tracy Lynn

Your daughter is getting so BIG! Honored to be a small part of your journey! Love Tracy and Ruth

Bonne Mike

So good to hear an update from you. Sierra's kitchen is too much. Looks like Wilma Flintstone! Keep the adventures coming. You all look so relaxed. Keep 'em flyin
