CARNIVAL in TRINIDAD! We be Limin'! Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 196

CARNIVAL, WHOA! From the mud drenched sunrise parties to the extravagant costumes and days full of limin’ & chippin’ - our few weeks spent on Trinidad were truly the experience of a lifetime!! It became even more interesting when we dug into the history of this legendary event which spans centuries, cultures, continents and religions. We hope we did a decent job at capturing the vibe and maybe even inspired some of YOU to check it out yourselves one day :D
MUCH LOVE from Blue, Brady, Brian & Kazza

I can't help it, i've seen it a hundred times, but every time i see Kazza choking on that beer "down the wrong throat" It cracks me up! You guys are the best!

[@2311SiSi]

Trinidad and Tobago is 1 country. And thank you for visiting and showing so much love for our culture and distinct geographical and historical richness. Please visit again!🇹🇹🇹🇹❤❤❤

[@obieandlaurie]

A party for the decades........love our Caribbean islanders and their love of fun!!!!!

[@bernardowiederhold1533]

The shot shower that is cool. Great party never saw anything like that before not even in Brazil best carnival ever.

[@adelle-theworshiper7852]

😮 I’m Screaming 😱 Out So loud you’re in My Country The Beautiful Island Of Trinidad 🇹🇹 An Tobago 🇹🇹. My patient Son Actually Put Me onto your KZbin channel We Are here In the cold 🥶 State Off Massachusetts But I’m So Happy To Be a Born Caribbean From Trinidad 🇹🇹 An Tobago 🇹🇹 Your History Of My Country Is Absolutely RIGHT ON OUR STEEL PAN TO WHO FIRST WAS THERE. YOU TOOK ME BACK TO MY ROOTS WATCHING THEM PLAY I NEED TO GO BACK HOME NEXT YEAR ITS A SHAME I CANNOT PLAY STEEL PAN

[@stbroker1]

I have always say, is not happier the one have everything, but the one that need less. Those people are happier than many Americans that have everything. Happiness is our own state of mind and make the best with what we have and enjoy music, dancing, people and life. Love this video and the islands. Miss my Cuba.

[@davidc6510]

The steel pan music was awesome. The carnival celebration brought flash backs of the time I went to Carnival in Las Establas, Panama back in 1982. I was quite similar a wild party during the day with paint, water, craziness, and then a chill out period where everyone got cleaned up for dinner, dancing, and partying until the 3 am. It was wakeup and repeat for 4 days. It was amazing. Thank you for bringing back the memories and sharing your epic adventure. Fair Winds SV Delos.

[@martyjouett9949]

One of your best for sure. I had the pleasure of working there for sometime and loved it! Great people and food, loved the Rotti and the language, Trini’s have the best carnival of all for sure.

[@tara0redwine]

Just gotta day how amazing that shot is at 16:25!!!! That’s amazing how the people are still and the water is still flowing! Wow! Props to whoever shot that! Mind blown! 🤯

[@pauludulutch4353]

Most awesome music. Unreal what a bunch of drums can sound like!

[@annabennett1819]

Pete Seeger narrating the drum video!!!!! Magical!!!

[@justsomeguy2943]

As much as I enjoy the sailing and LOVE the diving- the history and geography and local culture stuff is just as awesome!

[@jurriaanvanderlinden3605]

Awesome guys💜 Thank you so much, for taking us with you to this amazing carnival experience on Trinidad🙏🏻💪🏻👍🏻

[@levivandyck1946]

Love it. I've been to 3 T&T Carnival's. The best time ever right!!

[@sherminstephen1002]

Unbelievable,👀 I only just discovered you guys on KZbin about a month ago...., I CAN'T get enough, awesome job,🙌 thank you for the great job you did in highlighting our beautiful island of Trinidad and Tobago. Trust me, this is just a drop in the bucket, one needs to spend more time here to experience the true essence of our culture, our food, our people and our rhythm.SO happy you were able to come here and share your experience with the World....Thank you and please come again, everyone is welcomed!!💕👍

[@mronlyjeanshp]

I love that heavenly sound of the steel drum

[@stickyickyewe]

Blue is a great addition to the crew, mad respect!

[@shoutingatclouds6841]

I really can’t stand this redheaded lady Boi I is voice is so gravely he sounds like he’s talking with helium. Blue is his name?

[@atibalaroche2846]

So happy you guys had an amazing time in my beautiful home land

[@347oneill]

I still remember the first night out in the bars in PI at the age of 19. great music, lots of babes and well ??? this was a hoot. once again delos showed us where the real party is!! Thanks Guys.

[@alcampbell]

Thanks for the Trinidad vlog guys. I was born there but left when I was a teenager. Its been over 40 years. Its great to see some of the things I grew up with and enjoyed so much. Life in the States is great, but sometimes I long to break free again.

[@truckerallister9080]

Trinidad is a different type of world, I was brought up 70 to80 there

[@raystravel8325]

Wow the music is very cool. One of a kind experience. Great place to visit.

[@crissysingh2287]

I know right Trini Carnival is the best!!!

[@rickreid8149]

It's on the bucket list thanks all

[@nayamkabaptiste]

Can I just point out how helpful Trinidadians are. they had three separate local volunteer guides, on three separate days. I also love how this video captured my culture.

[@LR-zg8pk]

National Geographic & editing 3.0! Dear Salty Sailors, went back to watch this section I missed when I was ill back then. Fully recovered from that. But now being bed ridden after being run over in a dark alley, I turned to Delos. Watching that missed section when I wake. Then going back to sleep. Liz sucked me in and I love her. I need to find out if she still has a blog. Much love to the Ninja Beast too! I never write here. But this episode blew my mind. This episode's still images and editing were next level and should have been recognized as such. Oscar winning short documentaries in the past, are way shy of what you put out here. Safe travels. Love from Boulder, CO.

[@crates12]

Had a smile on my face for the whole 30+ minutes. Great video guys! The way those Trinidadians party make any one else just look like an old soul.

[@billwilletts]

As a steel pan player in the USA I was happy to see you cover the steel pan in Trinidad. I actually have a steel pan made by the man who is the father of the steel pan. Also the band leader in the red Bayern Munchen shirt is my friend Duvonne Stewart who is possibly the best steel pan composer in the world. If you get to NC look me up and I will come play for you! :)

[@rockinrobnw]

This was my favorite video. Awesome edit. I'd pay to see a full length movie in a theatre if the Delos crew filmed it, edited it and starred in it. You guys are awesome and the best part of Fridays. Thank you for being you.

[@alanmax8888]

Nice to learn lot of information about Trinidad thru this video.

[@mikeyc181]

What an epic episode guys ...well done !!

[@charlesd3024]

Delos , the best vibe on KZbin

[@Recycledheartdm]

Absolutely loved the slow mo shot of the waterfall, the water coming down and the mist going up, visually stunning. You rock.

[@nabilawkal4582]

So beautiful country and people 😘👍

[@elifoust7664]

Wild episode..enjoy

[@brokerhc]

Trinidad is a very lucky country in terms of geographical location. They are separated from Venezuela only by a few miles of sea and they share like 50 percent of Venezuela's oil reserves. So it is like grabbing the apples form the branches of the neighbor's tree while they extend over the fence into your property. Great people and great Carnival. I remember listening to Beethoven's Fifth Symphony played by a steel band. Trinidad, like Curacao and Aruba are kind of safely away from the normal hurricane routes so it is a good port to take refuge during hurricane season.

[@maelramkissoon272]

Not that Lucky anymore we are not allowed to use venezuelan oil fields cause of sanctions

[@Bindirdundet]

Guys! Loved the video. You did Trinidad proud with your coverage and explaination of Carnival. Kudos! Respect!

[@steedharold]

That thing with the waterfall was very cool! Actually the whole video was special.

[@davegibson3517]

One of the best videos yet. Thanks for sharing guys!

[@johnd746]

Love your getting involved with other cultures and your acceptance of them. Thanks for sharing.

[@cristianelvis]

So crazy place, bum bum, cheers from Brazil!

[@goldsilverandiamonds]

Looks like so much fun!

[@peteraustin9728]

An Excellent Vid. Entertaining. Thankyou...

[@tomriley5790]

Favourite car - Original Landcruiser, you can tell Brian is an engineer:-)! Impressive editing with the moving waterfall and frozen people!

[@JustinBellingerTV]

It's almost impossible to capture the true taste of a carnival, or even a party; you did it. Brilliant, you made me feel like I was there. Thank you! Safe travels!

[@jameshoganson5709]

Best video yet!!!!

[@timebanditrvtravels3449]

The love of brothers is beautiful

[@OhhState]

I just put this festival on my bucket list. Thanks Delos!!

[@JasVmitten]

hearing the band of metal drums was quite a treat

[@michaelsamuel4159]

DUUUDE! Ya'll had me at limin! I grew up in the Caribbean so, you guys brought back so many memories. I love how you guys just jumped in and experienced de whole ting. You guys are so amazing! Love love loved this episode so much! Only ting missin was Kazza and Blue doing some whine-up! LMAO

[@8028rsj]

Amazing video Blue. Passing it onto T&Ts local Carnival organisers.

[@wesleyddavies]

I'm always a fan of your journey and your positive outlook! Thank you for excellent content!

[@tjnugent62]

I haven't ever been to a party quite like that, though I have read about them. Keep on Rolling!

[@2Qwk2C]

Ok, this is one episode that could have been a bit longer........ a couple of days longer to be precise! I really didn't want it to end. I had no idea Trinidadians were so awesome. You have once again shown a culture in such a way that blows all conceptions one may have had out of this world. A very great job Tribe Delos, now both Trinidad and Brazil owe you for your amazing public relations work on their behalf.

[@hippo4g93]

2Qwk2C carnival actually last two days , but starts with enormous parties from the Friday and the actual carnival bands and calypsonians or anyone important have parties called fetes months before ! It’s crazy .... I’m 40 now and cannot handler anymore 🤣

[@gillianfrancis3726]

My country is awesome!!!!

[@judebug329]

The colors! Beautiful photography of a colorful culture and their traditions. The fun and the smiles captured on film captivated my face and made me join in (The smiles 🤗 - not the twerking! 😳)! Living across the bay from Mobile, AL, where America’s Mardi Gras began, it was intriguing to see where many of our traditions came from. Thank you for sharing the fun so beautifully, and for sharing the joy and happiness of such an amazing event.

[@2AKNOT]

Five star video. Can't thank you enough for the great ride.

[@o0grasshopper0o]

Hi,I'm a long time watcher, first time commenter. Thank you for this video, me thinks you managed to capture what carnival in Trinidad is all about.Well done!

[@glenpeters955]

An explosion of youthful joy and happiness expressed in dance, drinking and total exuberance. Naturally I am SHOCKED by some of the more base dancing and more than a little DISTURBED by the gyrations and unabashed lust for life displayed at various times, in fact, I had to re-watch several moments more than once just to ensure that I was properly DISTURBED by all this joy of living. I think I will have to visit Trinidad soon just to experience I mean investigate such an amazing party. What an amazing people and place you have shown in this video, thank-you very much.

[@stevenburgess4272]

You bring it all to the table...adventure, ecology and culture...never failing to make learning exciting... about others and the world we live in...you have something pretty special going on Delos...I and many others say " Thank you" ...

[@gregsvideos3411]

Well said. They really show the power of people working together in a real spirit of "family." This video really is heartwarming while still being educational and fun. It's gonna be a blast seeing the rest of the Caribbean from their perspective.

[@velocita8842]

Spectacular editing job...love the stills mixed in with the video and the vintage historical footage. As good or better than anything on TV.

[@svdelos]

:)

[@briangdozier]

Epic Party!

[@keeziegopaul9353]

I appreciate your video, I think you caught the energy and the spirit of my country beautifully. Thank you

[@jahrastakim4637]

Its all pure awesomeness.... Party partyy😊😊😊😊😊😊🤙🤙🤘🤘

[@akdonlh9924]

Now that’s a party

[@hollandhollywood329]

I really enjoyed this particular vid, being a national of Trinidad and Tobago myself. It was awesome seeing you guys enjoy our nature, culture, food, music and rums and hearing all your excitement and positive comments. I only recently subscribed to your channel and started following your adventures. I was pleasantly surprised to see my country featured. I'm so glad you guys enjoyed yourselves. (Just a footnote though: No educated Trinidadian likes to hear that "Columbus discovered the islands" as you rightly said there were inhabitants already here. He definitely changed our course of history though.) Blessings to your entire crew! Great job! And keep them coming!

[@fsoileau]

Just when I think best place to visit is calm and chill, just "relax and enjoy", you hit us with "party until your legs fall off" with beautiful fun loving people. Your skills at showing the little treasures and diversity of cultures around the world are amazing and get better every episode.

[@sumnerbumgardner8754]

My favorite episode yet!! I remember seeing "The Trinidad Panmasters" here in San Antonio approximately 27 years ago. Always great fun!!

[@kerrysammy3277]

Hi to SV Delos. Glad you enjoyed Trinidad and Tobago. Go safe and happy on all your journeys. Shout out to Trini Robert Johnson. Long time no see.

[@dennischartier9059]

I’ve re-watched this episode 3 or 4 Times now. I’ve been a fan for years, I think this is one of my favorite videos/ edits. That song “thank god” is so good : ) love you guys

[@adamali3660]

Welcome to Trinidad 🇹🇹!

[@KenGreenlaw]

One of the most entertaining episodes in a while and a reminder of why I started watching your videos. Editing is on point. Thanks Blue!

[@CaliforniaBushman]

Back in 2002 my drummer friend Matt (In Salt Lake City by the UofU - Nate and Jordan's hometown) who went to Trinidad every year, showed me a tape of the big steel bands performing. I was blown away! And now, I'm blown away again.

[@mesarius]

I thought my Carnival experience on Tenerife was a truly insane experience, but that is next level!

[@ChristianGrams]

Lived in Trinidad for 3 yrs back in the 80s (my father was stationed in the embassy in Port of Spain). Great to see the place again!

[@brandonguy9349]

My home country. Glad you enjoyed yourselves.

[@southernbuilder5331]

You know you are a fan of the channel when you create a "meeting" just to be able to sneak away for long enough to watch it while at work. I love fridays and you guys!!!!!

[@johnlampe3258]

The first step to becoming sober is recognizing you have a problem.

[@jsmythib]

I surmise, work is a terrible pain in the ass and your not a very patient soul :) Breath man lol

[@jfb1188]

I love parties that continue into the morning! Amazing pictures.

[@errick4421]

Steel drum was inspired by God, His spirit flowed through man(vessel of God), to transmit vibration frequency, music notes through the waves into the ears inspiring LOVE amongst the people bringing them together in a loving way. This is beautiful!

[@johnnymelendez4836]

You guys are such pros , thanks again for the knowledge,fun, and excitement you bring to us ⛵⚓🇺🇸

[@LeDobermann88]

The drum show and tradition was awesome :) I thought I know a lot about traditions all around the world but this was something I didn't know from anywhere. Thank you guys for opening my eyes! Greetings from SY Cookie Monster and enjoy the rhythm of sailing! Hugs and kisses from Estonia :)

[@kevinchank2489]

U were here!!!... Awesome job, looks great.. U guys make us see this world with so much fun n rum...

[@beachbum333]

I've just added Trinidad Carnival to my bucket list!! (Top ten) Thanks! Peace.

[@BenEllefson]

Steel drums contest was so epic!!

[@richschwer]

Well done guys. Thanks for taking us to Trinidad!

[@benmadsen8739]

That is an awesome 40 series! Worth a small fortune in Australia 👌

[@robertbarnes1989]

Been watching you guys for years now and been telling people how the production/shooting value is at or above any big budget travel show. This one took it to a new level. That water fall moving while everyone else is frozen! WTF! Great job Blue. BTW, was watching the episode with my Trini GF and her dad. We had a good laugh an the KZbin clips on how to talk like a Trini. So true.

[@svdelos]

Hey Robert, what an awesome compliment. To know that we got some laughs out of native Trini's is sweet! Thanks for sharing :D

[@petersrum]

Wish you could have come to south with me to see the other side of my island.. rather than just the north and carnival.... Next time, lots of love from trinidad!

[@atwogun7751]

I love the Caribbean. Most chilled place in the world.

[@jamesdillon3320]

TRULY amazing party!! AWESOME GUYS AND GALS! GREETING FR0M SARNIA. ONTARIO CANADA!! JAMIE - YOUR BIGGEST CANADIAN FAN!!

[@lonner98]

You guys are are the best. I can't tell you how great your positive energy motivates me. Thank you guys for what you do. As a U.S Navy veteran. I can relate to your love of the ocean.

[@stevemazz3121]

started back at ep. 142 and re-watching the adventure.

[@steviefordranger198]

Blue nailed this one. I wasn’t going to watch this episode because there wasn’t much sailing and there are lots of sailing channels around the Caribbean BUT I am so glad I did, it was a lot of fun and I kept laughing throughout. Well done Delos crew.

[@christinec1928]

I'm literally jumpin' up in my seat. Parti sweet! As a Trinidadian-Canadian, I have been trying to describe J'Ouvert and Carnival to Canadians for years. It's something you really have to experience, isn't it. This video says it all! OMG .... that was amazing. Thank you for risking cleanliness, sanity and camera equipment to bring it to everyone.

[@freddywulf2024]

Steel Pan Bands for Days, food with "Fry Bread" in the translation, Rum, Band Compitition Dirty Muddas, Carnival....I dont know how to express the JOY you guys edit into each episode,,,I mean, BLESS YOU! all of you and those who make this cultural showcases possible. Simply put, "You Fukrs Rock!

[@youtubruca]

That shot at 16:25 was sooo cool. Loved the effect moving the hat up 😁. Another amazing video guys! Keep it up!

[@dennischartier9059]

Alex- you are sick at photography and editing! Love your art. I can’t believe how you guys blend right into these different places so quickly. Love you guys!

[@bobahlberg6360]

Awesome.....

[@SailingtheFoxyLady]

haha wow that looks like so much fun guys!

[@1450JackCade]

Top shelf classic, and Blue's skills on display. Really good stuff, brilliant job capturing the experience.

[@Ashenwolf888]

Man i wanna go do that carnival! Looks sos much fun!

[@sharcky0]

"It's hard to swim without hands", said Brian with a Rum and a camera in his hands :) Best sentence ever!
