NERVOUS! Lifting our 20 TON Boat Home Out of the Water! Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 404
🕑 Added 2023-03-03 14:00:05 +0000 UTCAhoy lovely Delos Tribe! We have a really fun episode for you today :) We kick things off in the engine room for some sweaty tinkering. The generator was acting up AGAIN which seems to be an ongoing theme for our Sea of Cortez episodes 😂 And then the time has finally come to wrap up this season of sailing and head north on an over night motor to Puerto Penasco where we would be hauling out for our 9th time on this trip around the world.
It feels like SO LONG ago that we cast the lines in Shelter Bay and began the 3,000+ mile journey from the Panama Canal up to the northern end of the Sea of Cortez. Our time being back in the Pacific ocean has pretty much mirrored what we've found to be true about cruising in general- alternating between the highest highs and the lowest lows, sometimes even simultaneously. While we'd had some pretty big challenges during this time (Hurricanes, Salmonella poisoning, and basically the entire coast of Costa Rica spring to mind) overall it's been a pretty special and unforgettable season for us, and just seeing how much Sierra has grown and developed during this time is pretty mind blowing!
So we would love to know, what has been your favorite episode of this season? Let us know in the comments below!
We hope everyone has an amazing weekend!
Brian, Kazza, & Sierra

Have y'all seen toroidal props? They came on my radar recently and are reported to have large boosts to speed and fuel efficiency over traditional props. Could extend Delos' mileage when motoring.

I anticipate it at the beginning too, so I get that. But I love the tune and am delighted to hear it wherever it appears in the episode ☺️✌🏻

I hate it, Ramukanji always pumped me up for the video coming. When it comes up at the end it makes me think the videos are coming to an end.
Patricia
Loving the Ramukanji outro lately 🥰

I have a suggestions guys... Is there any way you could put an approximate date on screen, at the beginning of the videos ? So we can kinda follow along and see how long ago this happened ? I'd love to have some sort of a timeline, and be able to know like when a season starts, when it ends, how long I have to wait to catch up between episodes, and live feed info , etc... It's just a suggestion, don't hold my ASD against me ;) I'll love ya and keep watching anyway !

Yeah the towel technique was definitely a fail 😂
The Bumbling Sailor
Yeah, all good now. Getting used to life on the water. Like standing up and immediately falling over because the boat moved slightly 🙄. You can buy sea legs, right? 😂

Thanks Skip 💕

Sierra Cam is the best! It's been a while since we had it in the episodes. So glad you enjoyed Lisa & Claude!

The generator is going to be the death of me, but at least I'm staying fit apparently 😂
Sailing SV Delos
Yeah it's been a while since we had the nugget cam!

So glad you enjoyed Alex!
Sailing SV Delos
Well I've got bad news even 13 years later you will still be nervous 😂 Hope your boat was ok!
Sailing SV Delos
We love those ones too 🥰 Glad you enjoyed them!

Yeah we just put the finishing touches on the Annapolis episode and it's uploading now, ready for your viewing pleasure :) And yes the Panama Canal Episodes are definitely some of our favorites as well, so much cool history and such a special moment for us!

It would seem like ... with all the many things you have concurred and repaired over the yaren .... little tiny bugs and crustations (bottom cleaning) should be a piece of cake! That towel technique looks to need some work. Maybe a giant fly swatter? I have full confidence that the meek (bugs) will inherit the Earth. In the mean-time ... Keep 'Em Flyin.

Hey Guys...another great season has come to an end. Looking forward to the Pacific crossing. Panama Canal crossing and everything San Blas were all awesome. So sorry to hear about your loss and just know she is in a better place and is always with you in your hearts!
Lisa & Claude
That was awesome loved the Sierra Cam and always amazed at how Brain can think and creat the part that is needed much love sent to all
Erik Adler
How's Brian staying so swole on the boat? You got a personal trainer on board, or just bench pressing generator parts?
Lukas Lücking
Sierra cam! It is so cute too see her talk more and more! :)
Alex
Love every episode! Wish I could be out there diving with you folks! Thanks again for the video!

Having just put my boat back in the water, for the first time in my ownership, I can definitely relate to the nerves! Mine didn't go great either as the berth they put me in dried out and my little boat almost fell over. Fun times 🙄

Best shows of the season: Panama Canal crossing episodes

Good Morning from Annapolis. Great season ending. Cant wait to see next weeks Annapolis Boat show. Really enjoyed hanging with you guys, the Tribe, and Papa Delos while you were in town. Thanks again for kickstarting my rainy Friday morning. Oh, as for the best episode this season..., the Panama Canal . Much love and best wishes. See you on the next tack !
