Brady & Blue - What's NEXT for us!?

[@CruisersAcademy]

What’s up KZbin! Hope you guys enjoy this little update of what we’ve been up to and what’s next for us. If you have any questions we didn’t answer drop them below! 👇 Much love, BB & Sharki 🦈

[@ginaboyd2461]

This is so amazing. i have only been watching you all since COVID but its amazing to watch you all blossom and your business become all that you envisioned and more.

[@kentmuehlich5251]

Miss you guys from S/V Delos glad I found you!

[@garypollock1949]

Potty training your puppy. Get a stainless steel pan made, about 3 -4 feet square. Pick up some sod from a lawn/garden place, ( or from your neighbor's yard when they're sleeping). Put some dirt, and then fill the pan with sod as if you were laying a lawn. Now start re-training the dog by taking her there on leash, and keeping her there for a couple minutes. If she doesn't go, it's of little value to keep her there. Keep doing it until she gets the hint, and will automatically go there on her own. When you get to your boat, get some lawn turf, cut it to fit, with maybe something under to give it depth, and she will recognize it and go there. If you were to put some sort of drain off it, you can just hose it over the side, or collect it in the toilet as your own waste. I have had labs all my life, and I have an area out in one corner of the yard with a drain hooked into my sewer system. There is a quick connect with a hose, and I can just hose it into the sewer in a minute or two. (my area is concrete, not a pan, and the older dogs have taught the young one.

[@boomersudden6257]

Hoping for some videos soon. Love you both.

[@Ghost_Recon_Actual]

What I did with my dog to potty train him was to get one of those fake grass pee pads. You'll have to find a spot that's easy for the fur baby to reach from below to become comfortable with it. Every time my guy woke up from a long nap, I told him "Let's go potty and took him straight to the pee pad, telling him to "get busy" once he did his business, praise, and a treat. A few minutes after eating, same thing. If he had been laying down for a watching what was going on, "let's go potty" and out to the pee pad. Out to the pee pad right before bedtime and right when he woke up from sleeping at night, always telling him, "let's go potty" and "get busy" when he was out at the pad. Now this won't be something that gets them potty trained overnight, but a few days of being consistent will get him trained. The toughest part might be finding the ideal spot on your boat for the fake grass pee pad as it will probably need to be protected from stormy weather but also easily sprayed down with the water going overboard. Good luck with your fur baby.

[@allisonvonbuelow1338]

We have so much in common. I loved the Delos story. I love the straight sailing ones too. Just the feel of the water that I think only people that have felt that movement can fully “feel”. My dad had a CT 54 for 44 years and sold it ten years ago….. we did many Sea of Cortez sails and had a mooring in the isthmus for 55 years. Before the CT, we had an Angleman ketch…. A sea witch….. two Hawaiian transpacs and more island hopping and Mexico trips. To say that I miss it? Well….. you can imagine. Aside from all that I raised two Morgan geldings…. Each lived to age 23. Plus …. Lots of dogs….. kitties…… and found the love of my life as well. I relate to you two. I’m envious and totally enthralled with your videos…. Your vision…… so thank you. Really…… thank you.

[@BrianMorin-t3c]

Just love your five year plan!!!!❤❤🎉🎉 it will be exciting to see it develop and bloom😊😊

[@kathysmith2247]

You get your smile from your Mom. Miss you all.

[@BohemianBeatster]

GROOVY EPISODE. I thought you were nice and fun people before watching this video, but now I see that you are both super caring people, concerned about others lives, perhaps at times even more than you own. Special loving people can't be made, they are born with the magic that one day finds a way out. Stay safe and stay groovy.

[@CruisersAcademy]

What a sweet message! Thank you 🙏

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

I didn't think your five year plan would bring tears. 😭 I hope the plan works out. A house with Brady and Blue babies and sailing too.🤸‍♂️ 👏💙

[@christinec1928]

So good to you this new leg of your sailing adventure starting to roll.

[@johnclamshellsp1969]

For the potty training, use a square of "astroturf". My dad used that back in the day on his boat to train our dog. Take and install a 3/4 grommet, tie off and drag in the water to clean.

[@mikefox1332]

I have missed you guys. Looking forward to following you! 😘

[@mattmeiners985]

Great to see you 2. Miss you both......

[@williambailey5405]

Super to watch you two work it out.hang tough.

[@michaelturner4765]

Being a 13-year Stage 4 Cancer survivor ..... I really liked the short segment about bringing survivors out to sail. It is hard to go back out in the World when your body is wrung out from treatment ...... but having a loving place without a big crowd, and fellow travelers on that journey helps you to see what is really important .... to live every day that you get. Keep 'em flyin

[@CruisersAcademy]

Hey Michael, thanks for sharing. Happy to say we’re moving forward with a partnership with the Sendit Foundation to get even more cancer survivors and fighters out next summer 💪

[@shepsfishon]

So great to see you guys doing so well. True entrepreneurs. Built around what you love and doing good things for other people. Wow what a model.

[@jean-michelcournand8352]

Potty training : what worked for my dog (2 years old rottweiller beauceron mix) was to cut a triangle of fake grass placed near the anchor locker and scrubbing some of her pee with a towel and then on the fake grass so she would find her odor. Worked on the first time during a 19hours leg in the med. I walked with her to comfort her and she was on a leash so she had the feeling we were out for peeing time. Be careful about the lines and anything on deck that could absorb the pee as it stinks when dried. We would alway throw one or two buckets of seawater on the deck afer she had peed. A lot of people say we are lucky it worked but it might be worth trying. As for the poop she sometimes misses the fake grass… Fortunately she has good food so it is not too difficult to clean but one time she did an explosive one and it was painful to clean up… We attached strings to the fake grass so that we just have to throw it in the water to let it soak (be careful how you attach it as the waves have a tendency to unfold some knots in the water

[@michaelfletcher1224]

After watching several years of SV Delos videos I wondered what you two were up to. Glad I finally figured out your channel. Looking forward to seeing your adventures continue.

[@mathisj6582]

The Braidster's back. Missed you dude. Blue.

[@jwulf]

Man o Man.... anytime we get content from Blue and Brady is a GOOD day! Looking forward to hopefully coming along for the 5 year adventure..... and the inevitable Delos crossover episodes too!

[@sueellenwalkerspencer5647]

Love it! Love it! Love it! So very happy to see the two of you just doing it! Potty ....make a small box , big enough for Sharky to fully stand on, pee pads on the inside (the washable kind, washable diapers work), then cover artificial grass. There is a pee scent you can put of the grass so Sharkey knows that's where to pee. All washable, so no problems with stinky trash building up. Yes, I have know a few live aboard doggie friends that have done cruises. Can't wait to see your continued adventures!♥️💋

[@tboneoutdoors688]

You guys are killing it. Plan your work, work your plan.

[@rockysouthflorida1707]

Jose Brady , Sharkey and Mermaid Blue living the best life on the water! Thanks for sharing for the KZbins!! Cheers from Hurricane IAN headquarters hope your Family is sage and well in O-TOWN!

[@idahogoessailing]

So cool that you are working with the High Five's Organization! My friend was helped by them after a really nasty skiing accident. They changed her life! Thank you for supporting them, they are non-profit worth working with.

[@tomcraddock244]

Wonderful to catch up with you both!! so happy your school is going so well and your getting ready to head offshore!! It will be great to see you reconnect with Delos and do a little sailing together! Love y’all!!! Fair winds ⛵️

[@stevenwatterson3932]

Great hearing you are going to Palau. Best diving in the world. I enjoyed my time there.

[@scs130773]

Ooooh looking forward to seeing you guys cruising again!

[@Benglator1]

The ending was funny. Thanks 🙂

[@billdapp2491]

I'm really going to try to get to your 'Intro to cruising' course in 2023. I'm not really a cruiser per se, as I'll be 60 years old and land locked in Alberta, but it looks like a whole lot of fun!

[@papachuck6007]

Wife and i drove down this summer to attend, was amazing! worth every long KM

[@marcellacruser951]

May all your plans come to fruition! And Brady Blue boat babies... now, that's going to be grand!

[@AnodyneHipsterInfluencer]

Loving the 5 year plan. You guys in a more managerial/admin role with CA is definitely what I'd envisioned for you guys as well. Turning the school into something big and beautiful where it can be a semi-passive income for you because I see you both more as life adventurers.

[@ruthlong6876]

Wow guys, I only do, you tube, I was so happy to see this, I always wondered if you guys were OK and what have you been doing, so glad you posted this video, I really miss you two on Delos, but now I can subscribe to your channel, great five year plan,, can't wait to see the next video, great dog, looks like a great life you guys are having, so happy for you, til next time 👍🙏❤️😎🐬🌊⚓bye 🎃

[@dirkharvey]

Ha ha awh I love it. When I get some funds I will come off shore sailing with you all.

[@anitahardesty2163]

Yoy guys are so cute together. Your 5 year plan is awesome. I'm so happy cruisers academy is going so well for you. I've been watching from the very 1st video with Delos. To see where you are now is just incredible! 💖🙏⛵️🤙

[@carriethompson4955]

Piece of Astro turf, with rope tide to it. Put it up on bow and when he’s up there and potty praise the heck out oh him. Dip in water with rope to rinse/soak. That’s how our dogs figured it out.

[@kasm10]

wow, great news. you beautifully captured sailing in your video. I hope you get back to sharing your exceptional escapades with the world through your unique perspective and experiences

[@lucindapacker6510]

You two are the best. I love watching any adventure you are on. Thank you so much for the update. 💕

[@Sommers234]

How beautiful the way you take care of and love your animals doggie, horsey and whatever. Great! you're coming to the boat show ! A couple years ago I shouted out to you from a white car as your clan was walking an uphill sidewalk after the show. I loved how excited you got!

[@boomersudden6257]

Love your channel and the updates. You guys are so awesome. I'm still watching Delos videos, started at the beginning and working my way through, course I'd had to jump around some to see what was happening because the new ones, which are awesome and I love them, many things have changed. Not a sailor myself but I love watching you and Delos.

[@lentongrovetrust5201]

So good to see you two again.

[@johnmagnan759]

Y’all are a trip. Can’t wait to see the Delos reunion footage. Seriously your videos and the Delos channel oh and the documentary up north saved my sanity during this whole COVID mess.

[@andrewruble7706]

So glad to see you both doing well! Miss seeing you on the ocean sailing. Can't wait til the trip to see you back in your natural element.

[@JustusScottJr]

If I were taking my dog out on a boat, I think I would have to bring a patch of astroturf and surround it with some potted plants (my pup is a shy pooper and needs his face to be in the bushes every time he goes). I would put it in the bathroom for easy cleanup. I'd probably start training him on it before we left so that he knows that is where he poops. No idea if it would work, but I hope it gives you some good ideas. Good luck!

[@TRCAdventures]

Great to hear the plans! sounds great, our planes sorta take us the opposite but same direction, From San Francisco to Hawaii, Alaska then down to the sea of Cortez next winter, of course plans are always in a state of flux.... go with the wind..or flow

[@johnstevens1373]

have a lot of fun, you going to meet up with Brain, and family, be careful but have lots of fun, JS

[@jasteck8]

yall are some og my heros...

[@kevinhagan7199]

Happy to have run across the video, sort of like caching up with an old friend. If you ever find yourself docked in Petersberg Alaska, I will by you a beer, we just won’t tell Delos about it🤠

[@deckert618]

Miss you, Braidster. Always good to get an update

[@War4theWest]

Watching you two develop your own thing has been so cool to follow and now it's all clicking, so impressive. I remain an adoring fan and eternally grateful for your content. It's truly special in a way I'll never be able to put words to...

[@loyalndfan13]

See you at the boat show!

[@brittanirudick3486]

So excited for you guys to be living your dreams! Sharkie girl is the cutest baby ever (other than my own - just don't tell him that)! Genuinely looking forward to seeing footage of all of the things you've got coming up, keep up the beautiful work! I've been binging old Delos vids while I work and just got to the part where you guys became an item 🥹🥰🤩 so sweet to hear your 5 year plan! I'm 💯 here for it lol!!!!! I'm about 6 months out from launching my own cruising dream and you guys are an inspiration in every sense of the word. Love you tons! 💖💗💖

[@oceancowboy6981]

Brady I wish I could go sailing with y’all guys I just purchased a blue water cutter in San Carlos Mexico 🇲🇽 I would be a awesome to come do a sailing class in Tahoe!! I’m going to look it up online Cheers to y’all and Delos crew I’ve kept up with you and Brian from the first episode of selling everything and the purchase of the Amel SV Delos and taking off I believe from Seattle Cheers to you guys ⛵️🤠

[@whispjohn]

Wow, another video and you young guys are having it large in tour cruisers academy, nice to catch up with the news and you both seem very happy with your lot. I guess a lot of work has gone into what you have right now, good luck with all of it, from an old man in England.

[@CPB111]

My parents used an astroturf square with a grommet in the corner & a small line so they could dirty dump overboard and pull it in clean. They trained their dogs by putting a little doggo excrement on it and encouraged them to use it. It didn't take very long.

[@ae7v]

You guys are to funny. I look forward to your upcoming videos.

[@charlesphilips2920]

this is so great makes me feel good soo much positivity living the dream blues got a real mustang good stuff please more nice days before winter catch you guys asap

[@ronaldeaker6402]

I love you guys! Continued good luck! I'll be watching. ⛵💙

[@donlehman142]

Good luck with potty training your dog, it took me years to get my dog to do it on the boat. What finally did it was just now taking him ashore. It took him almost two days of holding it before he decided to do it on the boat. He now goes up to the bow to do his business and I rinse it off with sea water once he is done. Mats and astroturf never worked with him.

[@CruisersAcademy]

We've heard the first time can take a bit but then they get it, fingers crossed!

[@PelicanStorkJourneyEtcAtbp]

Advance Happy New year 2023! Brady & Blue....

I agree that sailing is a great filter to meet badass people.

[@sailingliberator3395]

We are finally about to set sail south to the keys and beyond and I've learned a lot from you guys and I really appreciate it

[@sillydilly2725]

I dove in Palau about 10 years ago, it was soo good. That place is magical. Have fun!

[@calevel]

Love the 5 year projection and the fact that you both are in the same page!! God bless ☝️✝️🙏❤️

[@moosebonsai]

Love it. The sailing therapy is brilliant. I'm a recreational therapist with considerable experience leading adventure therapy in the first decade of my career. I'm very much impressed with your sailing school providing therapeutic programming. I hope you know you're carrying on a wonderful tradition of utilizing sailing as a therapeutic intervention. Many of the earliest applications of adventure therapy concepts can be traced back to 1941, when Lawrence Holt and Kurt Hahn developed a sailing course called Outward Bound, which has grown into an international network of outdoor education organizations. Researchers in my field have built a massive amount of evidence that such leisure experiences have efficacy in treating PTSD, depression, anxiety, aggression, mood dysregulation, grief, loss, eating disorders, substance use disorders, psychosis, and much much more. I have been involved in several research studies; one found fly fishing reduced symptoms of PTSD. My question: Do you utilize therapists with the Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS) credential in your sailing therapy program? Such professionals could strongly validate your program, ensure evidence-based practices, develop metrics to evaluate your desired outcomes, and possibly increase the number of funding sources for program development and how clients pay for services. If you don't, I can help recruit top-notch adventure therapists. Anyway, I love your channel and videos. They bring me joy. Thank you.

[@CruisersAcademy]

Hey Michael, thanks for your input on this! At this point we aren't partnered with a Therapist but maybe one day in the future. We're exited to grow the program and are even considering starting a non-profit to make it the real deal :)

[@MB-ib5ji]

Hi there from the sailing vessel of The Geep in San Diego Bay. Two things first when you guys come down south stop at mission Bay and stay in Mariners basin it is an amazing spot! It's next to the famous wood roller coaster and all of the nightlife... Also when are you going to be in San Diego would love to have a beer with you guys and say hi.

[@dgilbertish]

Love the five year plan!! Can't wait to see you reunion in the Sea of Cortez!! Love you guys!!

[@adventuresofadamandtia]

Your videos are always so incredibly put together. Thanks for sharing folks.

[@davidthatcher7754]

I appreciate the update as I’ve been wondering what you two have been up to. I’m happy that since you left Delos that the two of you are doing your own thing and also happy that you are allowing your fans to stay in touch. Keep the videos coming. Cheers from Canada

[@SuperJacklyn7]

Oh my Gawd Brady, if youre flying all the way to Palau, please take a 15-30 minute plane ride on Caroline Islands Airline (CIA) to my home Island of Yap, FSM. Been on my heart to suggest to SV DELOS to sail that way when in Pacific Ocean, but been putting it off. You and Blue have to go there. You will fall in love with Yap just as much as you will fall in love with the Island of Palau. Thats a guarantee!😊 Cant wait to see your adventures down this part of the Globe.

[@svoceanrhythms1209]

Great to see you two thriving!

[@RichWork]

Everything sounds so exciting! Can't wait to see more of your adventures! I'm sticking with y'all to see where it goes!...just watched the 5 year plan, epic!
