Sailing SV Delos
Good vibes and some INCREDIBLE news!
updated
It's been a while since we got ROCKED like this 😳 After setting off on a 3 day open ocean race against our rivals Parlay Revival, we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. The camera just doesn't do it justice, but it was SO gnarly out...days like these make us question why we do this, (and wish we were snoozing away all cozy in a non-moving bed somewhere 😂 ) . But we press on towards the finish line we are faced with our next big challenge.... an absolute MINEFIELD of uncharted bommies that litter the inside of the lagoon. And of course we finally answer the question that everyone's been waiting for....WHO WON THE RACE????

The race is on, and things get WET and WILD out there! Our intentions were innocent enough...to have a friendly race against our buddy/rival Colin on Parlay Revival. But mix in our competitive spirit, some SUPER rough conditions, and some battles with proper sea monsters, and we find ourselves pushing the limits out there as we go head to head in the longest race we've ever done on Delos. We have 3 grueling days of sailing ahead of us as we make the voyage from the Marquesas Islands to the Tuamotu Islands in French Polynesia, one of the most remote and beautiful destinations in the entire world. Join us in this week's episode for part 1 of our epic battle!

This is certainly not the first time we've explored this topic, but since this is such a big part of our lifestyle it's a theme that comes up often...the delicate and alternating dance between highs and lows. Sailing has brought us the most truly incredible memories, experiences, and friendships...it brought our family together and allows us to explore the most beautiful and remote corners of the world. But it's true that sometimes it can be damn exhausting and challenging. And even though we often find ourselves living in dreamy, post card perfect destinations, that doesn't mean it's all sunshine and rainbows as you will see in today's episode. In particular you will see that one of our toughest moments is saying goodbye to our sweet Hannah. She has such a special place in our family and in our heart, and she has been dearly missed. Leave her some love in the comments and we will make sure and pass it along to her, and also make sure and subscribe to her YT channel to keep following her adventures :) youtube.com/@hannahsailing2324

We're faced with a rather unexpected rescue at sea unlike anything we've done before, and we continue to explore the incomparable Marquesas Islands. It had been well over a month since we left Mexico, and the time had absolutely flown by. We knew that this moment would come, but we couldn't believe it was already here...the time to say goodbye to one of our beloved crew members. After spending weeks at sea together, the bonds we formed on our Pacific Crossing were so intense. Our life as a little family of 5 had felt so natural and easy, and now that one of us has to go back to "real life" it feels like the end of a very special chapter on Delos. But the only constant in the life of a sailor is change, and we continue on to find one of our favorite anchorages. We find a little beach shack that we turn into a hair salon, and we take full advantage of the unlimited coconut supply.

The Delos crew is at it again in one of our most beautiful backdrops yet. After being cooped up for nearly three weeks at sea with only 53 feet of space for our legs to roam, we let loose on the beautiful island of Fatu Hiva in French Polynesia. 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. This would be just the first of our immersions into the local culture here, and we enjoy a beautiful local Polynesian dinner, and one of us 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 thank you so much for coming along on this beautiful voyage with us!

3,000 Nautical Miles of the mighty Pacific Ocean were behind us, and as the sun began to light up the horizon around us, there it was....LAND! Land sweet land, the sight and smell of land after having nothing around us but the vast blue ocean for 19 days and 14 hours is a moment that none of us will ever forget. It's truly an indescribable feeling of pure joy, accomplishment, love for each other, gratitude, relief, and even a touch of sadness that it's over. We make landfall in Fatu Hiva, an iconic and truly breathtaking anchorage of the Marquesas Islands in French Polynesia where we finally set foot on terra firma and begin to explore this exotic and beautiful part of the world!

THERE IS NO LEAVING SQUALL CITY 😳 Welcome to part 6 of our Pacific Crossing, get ready for some wet n' wild action as we approach the equator. We arrive to the doldrums, or the Interpropical Convergence Zone. This is where the northeast and southeast trades converge, and its known for being mostly calm and windless...on my last Pacific Crossing we had to motor for a couple days straight to get through this part of the ocean, but this time we are FLYIN! It worked out great for our speed and fuel consumption, but man did things get sporty! Definitely not what you typically expect from this zone. But on the plus side, we got LOTS of free showers, and we manage to make the most out of it and are able to laugh at ourselves as we navigate our rolly state of existence. Plus we enjoy working our way through the massive pile of Wahoo that's got our fridges and freezers bursting at the seams 🤤

Have you ever wondered what a day on passage ACTUALLY looks like aboard Delos? We wanted to share it all with you, from the epic moments like an intimate morning with nothing around for thousands of miles except you and some dolphins...all the way through to the simple things like doing the dishes. We tried to include minimal music and more ambient sounds, with some longer drawn out moments to try and create a real picture of what it looks, feels, and sounds like to be onboard Delos in the middle of the open ocean. So grab your morning coffee or your favorite frosty beverage, kick back, and prepare to be transported to our floating home for Day 5 of our 3,000 nautical mile passage across the Pacific Ocean.

We’re back with part 2 of our 3,000 nautical mile trip across the Pacific Ocean. We bash our way through one of the roughest nights we’ve had in YEARS as we round the turbulent stretch of ocean surrounding Cabo San Lucas. Sleep is out of the question, and the simplest of tasks require monumental effort. But as we make more miles out into the open ocean away from the compression zone, things start to settle, and by day 4 the wind clocks all the way around and we're able to set up the poles and get ready for some glorious downwind bliss.
The worst of it was behind us (at least for now) and we could kick back and the let the breeze at our backs push us along for days and days and days.
I think this episode really captures some of the realities of sailing...the ups and downs in moods and energies. How every aspect of daily life on passage is so drastically affected by the weather and conditions. We hope you enjoy this glimpse into what life is really like on passage for us.

Let's GOOOOO!!!!! We are so stoked and proud to present part 1 of our Pacific crossing series.
Even after all the years and all the miles, crossing the Pacific is such a HUGE milestone. It had been years since we did a big ocean passage...Delos crossed the Atlantic without us while we were in Sweden welcoming Sierra into the world, but our last big sail was Africa to Brazil, which feels like a life time ago! We had forgotten what it felt like to spend weeks at sea, to lose sight of land, familiarity, and civilization...To lose track of time and daily obligations in such a monumental way, and become hyper focused on the present and living in such a beautiful and simple routine.
After months of preparation, we finally pull the hook and depart on our journey of nearly 3,000 nautical miles across the world's largest ocean. Within just 4 miles of leaving we face our first curveball of the trip as our normally trusty engine starts playing tricks on us. But Delos is a sailboat, and that's what we were gonna do! So we press onwards and meet some pretty epic conditions, catch a monster fish, mingle with some curious dolphins, and soak up our last sight of land for weeks.
We hope you enjoy coming along on this big adventure with us.

Today’s video is part 1 of 2 as we document the process of preparing Delos and us for our Pacific Crossing. Stoke levels were ridiculous on board as the reality of the undertaking ahead of us began to sank in. We arrive to La Paz and immediately dive in to our never ending list of boat jobs like provisioning all the dry goods, trying to get to the bottom of our faulty transmission (this saga will continue into next week’s episode 😂), taking down our beloved dome, and going through and checking everything in our ditch kit to make sure we have everything we need in case of an emergency. And speaking of our ditch kit, we’ve always had a downloadable PDF on our website of everything we keep in our ditch kit, but we’ve gone one step further and we made an Amazon Storefront where you can see everything listed in one page and order straight from there. We’ve also got other categories of things like camera gear that we use, essential tools, our favorite cruising gear, galley gadgets, stuff for kiddos and more. You can check it out at amazon.com/shop/sailingsvdelos
It’s been so great to relive the excitement that we felt before the crossing. The only longer passage we’ve done since having Sierra was from Mexico to Panama, so we had so many emotions running through us as we prepared to spend 3 weeks at sea. We hope you enjoy sharing in the excitement with us as we get closer and closer to departure day!

The Band is BACK TOGETHER! Just in case some of you are newer followers and haven't watched our earlier videos, long before little Sierra was running around the boat, and even before I laid eyes on my beautiful Swedish princess Kazza for the first time, my brother Brady was a part of the Delos story. We had a run of about 10 years living, traveling, working, drinking, and running amok together on the high seas. From crashing weddings in India, diving with sharks in the most remote corners of the ocean, equator crossing ceremonies on multiple occasions, an unspeakable amount of all nighters, and literally thousands of other memories and moments together (too many of which are not appropriate to share 😂 ) we truly shared more than most brothers could ever dream of...Brady was even the officiant at me and Kazza's wedding.
But eventually the time came for our lives to keep going on their own paths. And after more than 3 years, we were finally reuniting in Mexico, and this time Brady and Blue were on their own boat with Sharki the wonder dog in tow. We only got to spend a few days together because the weather really wasn't cooperating with us, but man was it one of the most special moments ever. I'm so incredibly proud of everything we have both accomplished together and apart, and no matter how much time and distance separates us, he will always be my best friend. We hope you enjoy this little glimpse into this special time with family :)

Turn the ocean into fresh drinking water. After 280,000+ liters of fresh water produced, it was finally time to replace our trusty old water maker! We've been getting so many comments lately from you all about how much you enjoy the boat project videos, so we thought it would be cool to do a super in depth episode all about installing our new water maker, a full run down on how water makers actually work (which I think is super interesting!), and our honest review of it's performance. Plus of course a healthy dose of our usual boat work antics where nothing goes according to plan 😂 We hopped back a little bit in time for this episode, but we wanted to also include our review of the system and it's performance so we waited about a month after installing to finish filming everything for this video so we can give you the full picture.
We ended up going with a pretty sweet 18-25 gallons per hour system by Sun Pure Water Makers. But we opted for the additional membrane which almost doubles our output for the same power input. It's pretty wild because with our new set up we can actually run it off just the inverter and solar power (our old system needed the generator) so that is a game changer for us!
Visit sunpurewatermakers.com to learn more and give Arne a shout if you need help finding the right system for you.

Our introduction back into cruiser life after our long break honestly couldn't have been better. We found some relaxing hot springs, did some hiking, a few repairs, and lots of wonderful moments together as a family. Sierra has changed so much in the 4 months since we were last cruising, and it's such a joy to see how much more independent, curious, and in awe of the world she has become.
Days like these make us truly grateful for our lifestyle, and are such an amazing reminder that all the hard work in the boat yard and tough days on the water are 100 percent worth it!

After months of blood, sweat, and tears in the boat yard, splash day had finally arrived! We had done an overhaul on almost every major system on board, so as excited as we were to get back in the water, there was a LOT that could go wrong. But despite some of the doubts, we were beyond stoked to cast the lines and begin our sail south towards La Paz where we would eventually depart on our crossing of the Pacific Ocean.
This is one of my favorite parts at the start of every cruise when we've got all of our paper work done, the boat is fully provisioned and fully fuelled, and we just set out without really having a destination, just a general direction. There's something incredibly liberating and freeing about that...we can go anywhere we want, and we have everything we need. With this beautiful feeling in our hearts and sunny skies over our heads, we waved goodbye to Puerto Penasco. But the wind and swell would build over the next days, and we would find ourselves on one helluva wild ride as we blasted our way South!

But as busy as we were, we were still able to squeeze in a very special event. We host another Patron meet up where we got to hang with this awesome group of humans and share some beers and stories. We've been so lucky to have been able to meet so many of you over the last year...we had a patron's party for completing my circumnavigation in Puerto Vallarta, we met HUNDREDS of you at our party at the boat show, and now our most recent catch up in Puerto Penasco. We had help from you in designing and building parts for the furler, we had an amazing house to stay in thanks to you, and so much help, love, and support. We are just so dang grateful for this amazing community that all of you are a part of, and in case we don't say it enough, thank you SO MUCH from the bottom of our hearts...seriously, you guys really are the best.
