2024-05-01 10:26:34 +0000 UTCThe trippy thing is xmas day in Oz is hot and sunny! When we lived in Sydney we got invited to a Xmas Lunch and then went to the beach. 💕🤙🏽 oh but maybe you’re in Swden?!

2024-05-01 00:57:23 +0000 UTCSaw you on the move yesterday. Maybe in Australia then. I'm being hauled at Redland City Marina around Oct 1 for a short break.

2024-04-30 19:31:53 +0000 UTCMan, I'm super excited about this aluminum cat!!! Plus it'll be fun to watch you guys go through this process!! Sending you all the best vibes from New Mexico!

2024-04-30 14:51:26 +0000 UTCSo, excited for your next phase...and we agree that hot showers on demand will be luxurious for you guys! Enjoy. Question: Have you ever thought to put a small dehumidifier (with gravity drain hose) in Delos, to mitigate mold growth while she closed up?

2024-04-29 13:59:07 +0000 UTCThanks Emily! Yes and let's not forget fresh berries, avocados and hot showers on demand :) But then yes we will be more ready than ever for the sea.

2024-04-28 21:03:57 +0000 UTCGood luck with the haul out and the travel. You will have two years of big Christmas trees, ax throwing at the local brewery, Easter egg hunts, long bike rides, trampoline parks, libraries, maybe go see a ballet, plant a garden, and do all the land lubberly things that you can do! But boats really are the best.

2024-04-28 16:24:14 +0000 UTCWishing the family All the Best that life and Delos 2.0 bring, as nugget grows on land for 9 months while her new home awaits but around the horizon: the adventures of a LifeTime; what a huckleberry. 🦋 Glory 🐝 2 God 4 He is Merciful, Forgiving, Kind, and full of Grace 4 All 2 Love! Peace 🐝 With You. God Bless 🕯🙏✨️✨️✨️🙏🕯💫🐿

2024-04-28 09:13:23 +0000 UTCAre you hauling in Moorea, or Tahiti? I'm over in Papeete currently and would love to meet up if you are coming here for the haul...
Tim S
2024-04-28 00:45:34 +0000 UTCTwo videos in two days! If only it were Twos day! LOL It will be interesting to see how Sierra reacts to all these changes. But then the "adults", who always learn new tricks slower, may be the ones to watch. 8 - | Hahaha
Scott C. Wise
2024-04-27 22:43:57 +0000 UTCI was wondering about this. I hope Delos and Calico can visit with each other some time soon! : - )
Scott C. Wise
2024-04-27 22:38:34 +0000 UTCAs a Brisbane resident myself I'd highly recommend a trip to "Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary" in the suburb, Fig Tree Pocket. It is accessible by Ferry down the brisbane river.

2024-04-27 21:44:08 +0000 UTCWhat an amazing post of the frame on Delos 2 coming together!
Colleen Balch
2024-04-27 21:14:47 +0000 UTCCan not believe we will be present to see you evolve in a very different way. Not to mention Sierra absorbing a whole different Environment. I am convinced you will then return to the Seas with a refreshed mindset.🕉️☮️🕉️☮️☮️🕉️☮️🕉️
Jeanne H. Mathieu
2024-04-27 19:26:01 +0000 UTCYep, we were in Moorea! Amazingly beautiful place! We were walking on the Route Des Ananas (Pineapple Trail). Another of our favorites is the Three Pines Lookout. Both begin behind Oponohu Bay, the whole area is awesome so if you are keen for a walk don't miss it! https://www.tahititourisme.com/the-pineapple-trail-in-moorea/ https://wanderstories.space/three-pines-pass/ Have fun!

2024-04-27 19:12:20 +0000 UTCI know..... I was just chatting with them a few minutes ago actually. What are the odds that after so many years buddy-boating together they would cross the Pacific and be arriving the very same week we haul out and leave for Australia? Dang. Anyway they will be in the South Pacific for a bit so we hope to catch up with them when we return and start sailing west again. Brian

2024-04-27 19:03:34 +0000 UTCThanks Gary!
Sailing SV Delos
2024-04-27 19:03:26 +0000 UTCHa ha yes, The funny thing is Kazza has no problem sailing a big boat like Delos on the ocean but the thought of running down to the store in a car freaks her out. We'll see how she adjusts :)
Sailing SV Delos
2024-04-27 19:03:13 +0000 UTCHave fun James!
Sailing SV Delos
2024-04-27 19:01:59 +0000 UTCHey Ryan- Yeah man we are defenitely gonna have a build cam up. I hope to be able to do a few more topic related videos about the build also, so may be able to get in more than one per week. Time permitting of course! We'll see. cheers and thanks for the support! Brian

2024-04-27 19:01:49 +0000 UTCHa ha no doubt, modern day sailor-mom turned welder-mom. I love it :)

2024-04-27 19:00:37 +0000 UTCHey Lindsey, Oh man that sounds pretty awesome! Lot's of adventures await :)
Sailing SV Delos
2024-04-27 18:59:50 +0000 UTCShe was actually just ahead of us a little bit on the trail :)
Sailing SV Delos
2024-04-27 18:59:29 +0000 UTCOur plan is to return back to her in French Polynesia and start sailing her West towards Australia. Ideally we'd like to raft both boats up together :)
Sailing SV Delos
2024-04-27 18:59:00 +0000 UTCWhen I first sailed to Australia I was off her for almost 10 months. But since Karin and I have sailed her together yes, it will be the longest!
Sailing SV Delos
2024-04-27 18:58:25 +0000 UTCThanks for the update, and did you say you were walking in Moorea? We are going there later this year, I can't wait for the YouTube videos to catch up to when you are back in Tahiti. Thanks for helping me and my son plan what to see and do there!
Metaplayer
2024-04-27 17:31:22 +0000 UTCExcited for the new boat and build, but sad you won't be there when Bill and Grace finish the crossing. Loved when you all were buddy boating.

2024-04-27 17:25:46 +0000 UTCSo much change so soon!!!!!Best wishes to everyone as they take on all the new changes and a quick return to the life you love!!!

2024-04-27 16:54:02 +0000 UTCEnjoy your time on land. Good luck with the build of 2.0
Gary Brazina
2024-04-27 16:19:30 +0000 UTCYou two are always looking forward ...... into your future together. That is what keeps the Dream Alive ..... for you AND the Tribe. My new 2.0 Build shirt is supposed to be here next week. I can't wait to see if 9 months of "soccer Mom" turns Kazza to the dark (landlocked) side? She should be fine though ..... as "the Power of the Force works best on the weak minded"! Safe travels .... so you can Keep 'em flyin
Bonne Mike
2024-04-27 15:51:56 +0000 UTCAwesome! I'll be rock'n my SV Delos shirt tomorrow at the spring Annapolis boat show.
James Good
2024-04-27 15:47:39 +0000 UTCawesome. love it. I'm happy to support, excited to watch the build of svdelos2.0. Any chance the videos could get bumped up to two a week, if not every week, a couple extra now and then would help in every way. love the sponsor in last weeks video, nice footwear. I watch here but always check out the videos on yt also, maybe a live stream cam of build would generate rev/growth. I don't know, anyhow count me in. 🤞🍻
Ryan Spangler
2024-04-27 15:42:42 +0000 UTCHow exciting! Heading out to start the build on Delos 2.0 is such a milestone for you guys, it must seem sort of surreal - hauling out for nine months and moving to suburbia! I'm chuckling at the thought of Kazza being a soccer Mom - driving around in a mini-van, taking Sierra to school - but then going to the boatyard and putting on the welding mask to get at it! But I gotta say, that scenery behind you in this video is just amazing, the jungle and those jagged peaks in the mist, looks like Paradise to me! The adventure continues . . .

2024-04-27 15:36:48 +0000 UTCBefore I start any Delos video, I go to the Delos website and bring up the "Where is Delos" page. Best geography teacher, ever.

2024-04-27 15:04:49 +0000 UTCSo fricken excited for you guys!!! Woo hoo!!
Nancy D
2024-04-27 14:53:47 +0000 UTCYou'll love Australia, and Brissy/south east Queensland. Take the train down to the Gold Coast and check out the beaches, then go feed the Lorikeets at https://currumbinsanctuary.com.au/. A bit further afield is the spectacular Lamington National Park and O'Reilly's Treetop Walk.
Lindsey Smith
2024-04-27 14:50:29 +0000 UTCWhere was Sierra?
David Walsh
2024-04-27 14:48:39 +0000 UTCWell, it turns out I am excited to watch the build. It’s a beast of a design.
James McArthur
2024-04-27 14:32:24 +0000 UTCHave fun !!!! ..... What happens to Delos 1.0 in 9 months?
Bob Camp
2024-04-27 14:17:34 +0000 UTCWow! 9 months away from Delos. Isn't that the longest away you have been from her? Safe travels and really looking forward to Delos 2.0 build out.
