Terrifying Night At Sea π± 300 MILLION VOLTS Striking All Around Us! Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 391
🕑 Added 2022-11-18 14:00:11 +0000 UTCGreetings from chilly Sweden!
We are so proud to present this weeks new episode hot off the press, it's a GOODIE! It felt so amazing to cast the lines and get out on the road again. We depart from Puerto Vallarta refreshed after spending some quality time with family and recovered from our second stint with COVID. It definitely took some adjustment getting back into the groove of a longer passage with just the three of us again after Jordan's departure. The sleep deprivation was real, and our first night out ended up being a bit of a scary one as we found ourselves in the middle of the craziest lightning we've ever seen. It's such a vulnerable feeling to be out in the middle of the open ocean with nothing around for miles and miles with a 70 foot metal pole sticking out from our home and 300 million volts of energy pulsing all around us.
But it was all worthwhile as we made landfall in the Sea of Cortez and got our first glimpse of this incredible, alien like landscape. We are SO excited to share these coming episodes with you all. After several months of tough conditions and lots of marina time, it felt so amazing to be out in the wild and feeling super inspired to film and get creative!
Things have been going great here in Sweden. We're starting to adjust to the jet lag and also the cold temperatures here, we've pretty much been blasting the fireplace non stop since we got here! We've been enjoying lots of quality time with Mormor, eating yummy food, going on long walks in the forest, catching up on work, and just generally enjoying the feeling of having so much space. Sierra is especially loving the room to roam around play :)

Lots of love from Sweden <3

That lightning footage was really good. And yeah, being right next to a thunderstorm at sea is a chilly experience.

Well we have two things onboard, first off our safe is completely metal and large enough for important things like phone and tablet, but not big enough for the laptop which we stick in the oven. It might not provide 100% coverage but it's pretty good and like most things on the boat to stay onboard needs to have two purposes :)

Ha yes we stand corrected, I'm sure there will be some more comments when the video goes live to the public :) Fair winds and so happy you liked the video. Please tell Makena we said hello and thanks for the info!

Lovely video. By the way, you said Delos was created for his sons. Artemis was a girl. π

How do I get discounts on merchandise?

Wow! This one was packed! That lightning was amazingly scary. I remember years back Brian, you and Brady discussing a faraday cage, did you ever come up with a system? Sailfish are beautiful, I'm so happy you released him, feels good doesn't it? So nice to have the right equipment on board to help keep you protected. Finally, the Sea of Cortez will be a wonderful explore. Be well my friends!

Love it!!!! Especially the out takes of Sierra!!

Hey Brian and Kazza. Another great installment! Our daughter, Makena (11), is a huge fan and reader of Greek mythology. She was adamant that we must let you know of your error in calling Artemis and Apollo Zeus' "sons". They were twins, but Artemis was a girl, "Goddess of the Moon and the Hunt", protector of maidens and all wild things. Cheers!

Look into the EVODIS system for lightning protection. Very effective, pricey, but in my opinion worth it. Always love to hear from you guys. Godspeed, all your hopes and dreams.

Seeing how you miss Jordan, I guess you will be taking on crew for Pacific sail.
