It is wild that there's a connection there. The price to pay is the night sky, astronomy and space exploration.

Hi Guys, catching up on your videos, life has been crazy! Hope all is well and you are safe and enjoying the south Pacific. A giant Cheers! and Nugs steals the show again with a big snot slurp!!

Shelly Ackerman

Beautiful! Looks chilly though. I just ❤️ the moments after turning the engine off! It is amazing! Enjoy your time on the water!

Sailing SV Delos

Thanks so much Wayne, so glad you enjoyed this one :)

Lance Daniels

Thanks for posting and sharing. Nice to see Delos and crew back in their element again.

Randa Caswell-Deen

The work life balance is pretty spectacular. I love all the play time, hiking etc you all do. And Sierra is just the cutest. I love when just you 3, but then can't wait for you to have crew also. I also love the individual attention Sierra gets from you both. You're great parents! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Chris and Claudia Stothard

Outstanding!!!

Daniel James

WHAT VERSION OF STARLINK DID YOU GET?

Wayne a Roberge

Great work not get work

Wayne a Roberge

This to me is one of the best episodes ever , ya’ll keep up the get work.

Sailing SV Delos

That episode is coming soon, not next week but the week after!

Sailing SV Delos

Aw thanks Dan, we love that part of the video so freaking much 🥰🥰🥰

Sailing SV Delos

Well we are in the Pacific right now, but we are using Starlink! So incredible that it is still working this far out!

Sailing SV Delos

Hey Francis, there are lots of ways for water to get into a mast, especially at the top there the wires enter for Nav lights, instruments, etc. some masts actually drain straight through to the bilge (keel stepped) while masts like Delos which is deck stepped have drains at the bottom to let water out. So they are sort of designed to drain.

Actually it’s a great question! There are lots of ways for water to get into a mast, especially at the top there the wires enter for Nav lights, instruments, etc. some masts actually drain straight through to the bilge (keel stepped) while masts like Delos which is deck stepped have drains at the bottom to let water out.

I think they did. In fact, I first thought the boat we saw at 1:15 might be Lintika, but I realized it's the wrong color and hull configuration. Probably yet to come in a future video.

Chris and Claudia Stothard

I thought Brady and Blue were going to buddy boat with Delos around Mexico. Does anyone know why they weren't able to? Greetings from NYC!

Sailing SV Delos

Well it depends, sometimes we buy them online as a PDF and then we download them onto an ipad which is pretty convenient. Or sometimes we order them online, get them from other cruisers that have finished in that area, or they have them in the boat chandleries as well.

Sailing SV Delos

Two of our favorite things in life haha

Sailing SV Delos

It really is such a beautiful thing, we are so grateful for our ability to spend so much time together :) Good luck with your race, hope you're able to snag the title again this time!

Dan Moss

That Daddy/Daughter sequence was so heartwarming and beautiful. Huge smiles. Lucky little girl and lucky daddy. ❤

FRANCIS DEL VECCHIO

The wires for the new light seem to go into open holes without any type of grommet or sealant. Is that correct? Would that not cause water to drip into the mast and follow the electrical wires down it and eventually cause problems inside the master and inside the boat?

FRANCIS DEL VECCHIO

I have Sam question about water in the mast

FRANCIS DEL VECCHIO

ALWAYS A PLEASURE. HOW ARE YOU PUBLISHING VIDEOS WAY OUT IN THE ATLANTIC ?

Sean Martin

Hey guys, probably a dumb question: when replacing the light, how come you didn't bother to cover the old holes? Wouldn't water get into the mast?

Lisa & Claude

Awesome as always❤️

Ronald Bermingham

Beautiful sailing and family!! Question? Where do you get the cruising guides.

Jeff Mack

Another great video! I particularly liked the nose licking that Sierra gave Brian and the phrase about "weightlessness for the ears". Please keep 'em coming.

Michael Conway

How incredibly fortunate you all are to get to spend 24/7 together as a family. I think the impact of this alone will be huge for Sierra as she grows up. Great episode as always. We're going sailing this weekend, we've got our first "Cruiser" series race this weekend. We're the defending champions, but they said our handicap is going up, so we've got to get faster if we want to win this year.
