An Entire Atoll To Ourselves In The Indian Ocean- Sailing SV Delos Ep. 88

[@ChasingtheHorizon]

There is something about this video. I have watched every Delos video from the very beginning all the way through and this one is the one. A perfect depiction of Delos vibes. The mix of Andrew Rothschild's ambient music, the elation of the crew, the time of day; the sun at that absolute perfect position in the sky, the stunning landscape and the promise of a brand new adventure only moments away. I have seen this episode many many times, and it always generates a stir of adrenaline inside me; You have captured a magical moment that will exist always through this platform.

[@mrjosephallen79]

Wow I agree 1000% I've seen every episode more than a few times and this is my favorite. Especially the Takin it Easy remix at the end of the episode. Hope B or Kazza sees this and tells me where I can find that amazing version.

[@Matthew-ut6ed]

Couldn't agree more. Been watching the Delos crew for some years now and yet every once in a while I come back to this episode. Watched it many times. There's something about the wonder of the arrival after the passage, the isolated beauty of the place, the intense feeling of this being a once in a lifetime experience that makes it stand out and above so many others. The rest of the Chagos videos are pretty good too...

[@curbstomp3126]

Definitely Delos best season.

[@warnerrecordsvault5869]

My first boat was bought with the help of Ms Lyra Holt Dean. Sailing is thousands of years old and we continue this long-lasting, intriguing and at the same time dangerous tradition! Throughout history sailing has helped various civilizations to develop and prosper as people sailed accross oceans to settle in new undiscovered areas. Each time we set a sail it’s as if you could feel the same excitement, uncertainty and craving for adventure as it used to be thousands of years ago. In a way sailing is like a bridge connecting us with times long lost.

@Lewis Hamilton NO, we are just business partners. She is a financial Analyst I met in 2012 that changed my perspective about making money and spending money. We all need someone like that.

[@testimonialblessings8058]

I am sure you would do a lot of boat riding or rather sailing this summer.

[@warnerrecordsvault5869]

@Lewis Hamilton I dont think its allowed to drop email address her. If you wish to reach out to her search her name online and you will find her

[@floricabrumar8533]

I love sailing because it makes me feel awake and alive - but also because it gives me moments of peace, meditation and stillness. ...

[@daviscarlon388]

the sense of order on a boat, where everything has a place and a function, and it's possible to make everything shipshape.

[@nazariojuarez3156]

I miss these old days with a full crew..

[@armagedon3on3]

This really was the golden age of Delos:(

[@JamieCox-xk6vy]

Love the music from this old video. So grateful you guys are doing this and sharing it, takes me to my happy place❤❤❤

[@kadinjones3912]

That eel eating the crab is one of the craziest things you have captured on video. Thanks for the video.

[@davidcolinstillman5585]

BREATHTAKING COLORS & SCENERY ! GORGEOUS VIEWS & VIDEO! BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! GOD BLESS YOU ALL ALWAYS ! ENJOYED !

[@zed9zed]

Wow, the eel coming ashore to catch and eat the crab, and then returning to the water was quite a sight!

[@chrisbrose1769]

This is the video that started it all for me. Searching for fishing videos and found Frida instead. About to finish up my second time through the videos. What you have is magical!

[@chipbhi]

I love all of the Delos crews, but this one was by far my favorite.

[@davidp8594]

Diego Garcia is a British base, With a BIG U.S. naval and Air Force presence. It's run by a British Governor and British Naval commander. British Indian Ocean Territory. Seven Degrees South. A huge marine preserve. Your video brings back a lot of good memories.

[@mikeskor6230]

Exciting to enter this deserted atoll.What a beautiful location. But with ominous wrecks of other boats. A great video.

[@shellanon4212]

Why did she die? She was rite by the shore? Or did the boat wash to to shore? Looks like a day sailing boat. Wasn,t too late to get out of there. Short passage. Inwwnt the whole story of the pop singer. Include that in your book. U will write one? The virus is cutting earning on Y.T. down so low.

[@justthetip96]

Looks amazing. You guys are a lot of fun to watch. It's like watching a TV show only better. Keep on keeping on 👍

[@LearningtheLines]

Crazy that places like this on earth still exist. I can't wait to see them one day in person. Thank you for taking us there via youtube!

[@apvial]

Awesome video Delos. I crossed the Indian Ocean a few years ago from Bali to Mauritius on a Swan 51': 3,400nm in 19 days with a top speed of 250nm in 24 hours... we had big winds. As much fun as that was I always regret not stopping along the way (Cocos was so close)... so THANK YOU for showing me what could have been!! Congrats on everything - your videos are a great breath of fresh air here in NYC.

[@LaurenKellyPianoLessons]

This is my all time favourite Delos episode. I’ve watched it probably 10 times

[@scottpowell6145]

Why?

[@artistaloca4]

I like what Lucas Haake says about it being organic. And time in blue water made land seem... mystical; the smell, accomplishment...

[@uv873]

I never knew some of these places existed until I started following your videos. What a delightful place and how much I appreciate you showing it to all of us. Also thanks for taking care of the islands while you are visiting. Good example to all of us.

[@dirtfisherman3489]

Hey Delos, BIG Time Fan of your channel! I totally agree with earlier comments. Delos does indeed set the standard for sailing vlogs!! In M.H.O. There isn't even a close second & there aren't many I don't watch.I am curious. Have you guys ever considered picking up some under water metal detectors.It would sure add a new degree of excitment to your alread exciting adventures.prob get you a bump in subscriptions as well. Anyway thanx for doing what ya do! absolutely love your channel!!!

[@justforfux]

I think that is a very good suggestion - metal detectors!

[@harryhoesch3793]

Thanks. Quarantined and even Beaches are closed, in most of inhabited US. This provided a nice mental getaway and thoughts of better times to come. You guys are doing it right and thanks for sharing. Many sundown toast to all of you and I hope your travels find a smooth route thru these trying times. Keep sharing your smiles.

How is it that this video has 22k views and only 1k likes? That's mind blowing. SV Delos delivers a quality video, yet again! Should be 22 and 22k easily.

[@russclark6780]

I've been a subscriber for a LONG time (since nearly the beginning). When Blue joined the crew I unsubscribed for a bit because they were SO BORING but re-upped 6 months or so ago. I don't check out every episode but have watched the last few. Today I re-visited this episode. My favorites are from this time period. It seems like everyone was having fun, laughing, playing, partying and now things are just nice photography and slick editing. I miss this crew in particular. All good things must come to an end but I'll always have these episodes to watch and enjoy. Thanks for the memories Delos crew!

[@85LARGE]

I miss the old Delos so much.

[@dirkharvey]

This is the only Delos I know, i just started watching a few weeks ago. I already saw Josje leaves in a few episodes and she’s one of my favorites.

Amazing vid Delos hard to understand why you guys don't have a larger subscriber count compared to other full time yacht vloggers? With your quality content and experiences it should be way higher than any of the others? - Thumbs up

[@svdelos]

Thanks for that, really appreciate the comment! I'm not sure why but for some reason we get more views from non-subscribers than subscribers. So if you happen to see this comment and aren't a subscriber click the sub button :)

[@sailingxtremeadventures542]

Maybe you should put a red KZbin subscribe button in the lower right corner throughout the video, may help? Fair winds from the Caribbean

[@johndonaldson5126]

I agree. To me SV Delos videos are the pinnacle of cruising videos by which I measure all others. I do watch several but crave the Delos vids. I was quite surprised to notice Sailing la Vagabond had so many more subscribers. Nothing wrong with Sailing la Vagabond, their videos are great too, but why there is such a gap in the number of subscribers evades me. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that your videos are a year behind. Anyway keep up the good work Delos.

[@scottbolden4241]

I signed up for KZbin just so I could subscribe :) These guys are the best video footage/crew anywhere that I've found. I even sent them $$ under the buy us a beer and I don't usually give money to anyone.

[@emperoroftheknownuniverse3475]

Totally agree. SV Delos is the best sailing vlog on KZbin. I've searched so many sailing vids since I got back in to sailing and they don't even come close. Hope to run in to the Delos at sea some day! =)

They where great ,medical checks, supplied staples and back in snail mail days took your mail and posted for you. Was a few chooks there as well back in 89’. Did you ever hear the story of the crazy Austrian loo sailor who the Americans asked to leave who spent a week sailing around the edgemonts preparing for his trip to Maldives . He had collected heaps of coconut crabs to eat and they where seen bunched up on his top spreader 😂😂.. great memories. Thanks crew

You're videos have that rare ability to pull a person out of the present and whisk them away into your world and your adventure - a great achievement - even if it only lasts 20 minutes or so each week. Safe travels!!

[@svkonventus4786]

I do have a special feeling for Chagos.... This will be my main spot to visit while at sea one day! see some reference to understand why... :) and Yes my name is João Chagas :). Portuguese explorers were the first Europeans to discover the archipelago. The Portuguese navigator Pedro de Mascarenhas (1470-23 June 1555) is credited with having discovered the islands during his voyage of 1512-13. Portuguese seafarers named the group as Bassas de Chagas, Portuguese: Chagas (wounds) referring to the Holy Wounds of the crucifixion of Jesus. They named as well some of the atolls, such as Diego Garcia and Peros Banhos Atoll, mentioned as Pedro dos Banhos in 1513 by Afonso de Albuquerque. Unfortunately, neglected by the Portuguese, this lonely and isolated group, economically and politically uninteresting at the time, was never made part of the Portuguese Empire. Loved the video! PS: Got Delos T-SHIRT!!!! Will post a pic soon!

[@svdelos]

Yeah man it's a very special place. When you have the chance don't miss it! Fair Winds and thanks for watching! Brian

[@John_Smith__]

Nice history review João! I'm Portuguese too and always appreciate this sort of Historic memories. About the video ... Man is that not a great place to use expired Flares :) lol ...

[@OKA4LIVE]

Yeah. It's a tragic story. I'm actually Ilôis (Chagossian) myself. The British slaughtered all our pets, destroyed our homes and exiled us from the islands to make way for an army base. This all happened in the 60's-70's, way before I was born, so I'm glad that you made this video because it allows me to see the true beauty of the islands. Hope this comment helped people understand the controversy. I've always wanted independence but I think the Portuguese would have treated us better.

Thanks for posting, hope everyone is well, safe and happy!
