Imagine jumping into a 12,000 foot deep pool...  Only you are in the middle of an ocean and being towed under sail!  The conditions are absolutely perfect and Delos is a few hundred miles off shore just drifting along in light winds and calm seas.  We decide to show the crew a PERFECT DAY AT SEA :). We decide to take the girls up ...

Annapolis Patrons Meet N Greet Details!

We’re really looking forward to this! It took some doing but we finally found a place outside that can accomodate our group.  It turns out the Rams Head had was a little too small given the interest in the poll we put up.  But luckily our good buddy and fellow Patron Jeff convinced his lovely wife Cameron to knock down the fence betw...

To NFT or not to NFT. That is the question.

Any other Crypto fans out there?  We've been approached by a new startup focused on creating NTF's for YouTube Creators.  One of the founders happens to be a viewer of our videos :)  The concept would mint specific NFT's for memorable posts, highest viewed videos, etc.  I find the blockchain and crypto ecosystem incredibly fa...

Camera Buffs- We Need Your Help!

Ahoy tribe!  We bought our Panasonic GH5 in South Africa a few years ago.  It's lived a pretty hard life crossing thousands of miles of Ocean and has done more than you should ask of a camera.  But it's on it's last legs and is starting to do some pretty strange things.  Like randomly shutting down, and not recording when we ...

We hope everyone out there had a great week!  We sure have, although it's been a crazy one in the big city of Stockholm.

Things don't start smoothly for our 300 nautical mile passage to Mexico.  After waiting for a decent weather window we hoist sail and head straight out into the Gulf Stream.  The seas are steep and confused and it takes a toll on the crew, Baby Nugs especially.  We decide to hoist both downwind sails to stabilize Delos and gain sp...

It's 5:30AM and squalls are ripping through the anchorage.  A sailboat drags past us and ends up hard aground on the beach.  Now it's a race against time to get her off and afloat before the tide drops leaving them stranded in the Dry Tortugas Seaplane landing zone!  The only problem is they have no windlass and their dinghy paint...

Lauderdale to Boca Raton, doing our best to avoid hittin...
