Dodging Massive Storm at Cape of Good Hope! Sailing SV Delos Ep. 105

[@svdelos]

Delos Tribe! This is the first video of the Indian Ocean 2.0 season! It's our first go of mixing different editing techniques with our traditional story line. I think Kazza did a great job. If you like it or not be sure to let us know. Hope you enjoy and wishing you a hell of a weekend :) Capt. Breeyawn

[@joseglenlapastora]

THANKS FOR SHARING delos crew, i really appreciate it.. sharing to the world the excitement, of sailing, exploring new land, new culture."fair winds and following seas" delos crew.. have a safe voyage ahead!!

[@ianluk11]

Always a pleasure!!! The editing Style is great

[@aileraguilar3976]

Sailing SV Delos more foteage on my good man Peter

[@hthring]

new instruments ?! like the new shot composition

[@98toine]

Sailing SV Delos amazing!!!!

[@KombiLife]

Great editing - stoked that everyone is noticing that. I know these vids take a lot of effort and we are all appreciating it!

[@svdelos]

Dude thanks so much, that means a lot to us coming from a fellow vlogger. Cheers to you guys! Brian

[@Zoggizzle]

Charley Smith yeah, rapid cuts made that segment feel and look more like an advertisement than actual Delos story.

[@KombiLife]

The hard part from a creators perspective is having to compete with the short attention spans of modern-day media consumers. Constant notifications and scrolling social feeds force us to create content which is fast paced and attention grabbing. Balance is key, story is king. Trying to get that out on a weekly (or more) schedule as close to the live event as possible is insanely difficult for people who live on the move. It's great to see the Delos crew have so many loyal supporters who understand this.

[@ineedcoffee4893]

Very good comments. Delos's editing has always been top notch and that is why a 20 minute video just seems to fly by and leave you wanting more. But it's true, too slick of a production can take you out of the moment and actually create a barrier between the viewer and "realness" of the experience. But--there is room for experimentation too! :-)

[@davidreilly3686]

Charley Smith is spot on. The camera should seem like it's along for the trip, not the purpose of the trip:

[@artoljr809]

The editing on this episode is phenomenal

[@russclark6780]

The leap in film quality is STAGGERING since you started the new season. The clarity is just stunning. Keep up the good work guys and girls. New crew seems to have come together nicely.

[@b.w.22]

I’ve watched this video so many times now. It gives me wonderful SA vibes, hearing those accents again. What’s captured so well is the excitement of a new journey, especially with the new, less experienced crew who have such great energy. And to see Brady so happy with his friends makes me happy. Along with the next few videos, these are the best sailing videos out there. “Can’t be in control of everything - that’s why we go sailing, right?”

[@edselby]

was hoping to be the first to say how much better the videography and editing have gotten. I see I'm not the only one who has noticed. Looking forward to seeing more!

[@svdelos]

Thanks so much Ed! Cheers to you :)

[@ronzander9599]

Delos, all I can say is wow, fantastic footage and editing. Truly some really cinema worthy shots in this video. I've watched it twice it's so good. You guys (and gals) are really pushing the envelope in the footage you are shooting and the editing. The wife and I are heading to NZ tomorrow night, we have the Sony AX53 in hand, you inspire me to try to some cool stuff but I know I have much to learn in the post editing area. Again, wow, this video was just so good!!!!

[@saillast5991]

Enjoyed it! It was a nice change,, however I myself prefer your traditional format/style . I "myself" don't like the "stylized" feel. Guess I just got hooked on your traditional style over all the years. To me that's what made it so unique , it made you feel like your on the boat , part of the adventure. When too stylized or commercialized production, kinda feel like I'm watching cable tv , which to me is like looking from the outside in , rather than watching from the inside with your traditional style. Either way I watch for ever ! Thanks for the great vid !

[@MrZachalewel]

I agree with Sail Last. I LOVE SV Delos, You guys have inspired me to change my life. Now I must say, personally can't stand the new editing style. It reminds me of any outdoor adventure doc from 2008-2013. The reason you keep seeing comments with words like "Cinematic" is because outdoor Cinema had 5 good *long* years of this editing technique. In my humble opinion it's a visual technique that should only be used when words can't express emotion.

[@jonbjorkstrand6280]

I agree 100% with Sail Last. Feels too commercialized.... they old traditional format felt much more personal much more like you were on the boat like you knew everyone, that is what made your videos so much better than everyone else.

[@MrZachalewel]

jon bjorkstrand preach brother!

[@pete49327]

Good editing imo should not draw attention to itself, it should be smooth and unnoticeable for the most part. Less is more, i.e. gimmicky edits not needed. Thumbs up anyway, still enjoyed, simply giving my honest opinion.

[@Graham_Langley]

+jon bjorkstrand Agreed 100%.

[@johnarmstrong5474]

Love the new style for a new crew. It feels right, organic and natural for this new composition of souls. I love that you guys let the vibe carry the style. Couldn't ask for it better, thanks Kazza!

[@crismoore6811]

I am rewatching this passage after seeing all. To me it is fabulous, exciting, challenging. Amazing.

[@heather8117]

Happy times with Kazza's Mom. Magic. Loved watching Brady and Kazza so extra joyful. Brian you did well!

[@Dean0017]

Fun to see people to discover the beauty of sailing. Welcome, It's like a sickness that never leaves you. The definition of adventure.

[@Josef_R]

Whoever's doing the editing now, do not let them leave!

[@tristanmiller9571]

I personally love the new editing style! However, no matter what you do there will always be some people who like it and some people who don't. So I think you should just make videos that you're proud of....videos that YOU love.

[@JjCoronet]

Just spent the past 2 days watching all your videos , i am amazed at your chosen path in life , my hat is off to you guys

[@user-wv2cg2mr3w]

Editing is great, and there's a perfect balance between the editing and what we're used to from before. Another awesome thing is the positivity in comments section for this channel! I think you are actually turning haters into lovers, it's a rare thing :D My friday ritual is tuning in on Delos with beer(s), and I look forward to doing so for many years to come!!!

[@thuggoat8200]

I can’t stop watching all the old videos over and over! Amazing every time.

[@curtismulder1950]

Ya Delos you all are keeping your legendary travels rolling by not heading to the Caribbean. Pure Vida

[@bogdanstoica4986]

Urmaresc de fiecare data, cu placere, episoadele dumneavoastra. Va doresc sa aveti parte de ape linistite si zile insorite. Bogdan Stoica -Ploiesti-Romania.

[@GerryBeltgens]

Absolutely Brilliant! You guys rule the waves. I think I have seen every sailing video vlog out there and you just raised your game so much higher. Editing and camera work is excellent. Interesting mix of people in the crew. Looking forward to the further adventures.

[@frans4125]

Well 'done Kiril on your editing and filming. Way ahead the usual editing around. Must be the elderly folk complaining about the great new cinematic edits. Keep it coming.

[@paulmorrow3053]

Awesome job!! So excited for the new season. Editing is superb!!! Best show on KZbin!!

[@johndonaldson5126]

I always love to see a new video from Delos. But please keep those 1-2 second clips to a minimum. I don't find them relaxing at all. How exciting to take on new crew and have an opportunity to break them in as newbies to the sailing life. Looking forward to more from you. Enjoy!

[@stony7827]

" But please keep those 1-2 second clips to a minimum. I don't find them relaxing at all. " if it possible, yes(!) that would be VY good ;-)

[@keithvinson8992]

[@Erated78]

Hey Delos, you guys rock and always manage to find some wonderful people. The new SA crew are so nice. I love their accent and love the country as well...beautiful coastal towns. Best of luck to you all cheers!

[@amazane]

instantly noticed the new style and had to look into what's different. cams? depth? slow high speed filming? all of the above. regardless, you guys seem so polished now and I can't wait to see more! thank you for everything!

[@jefffrazer6065]

Assumed you'd take advantage of Cape Town to refit and repair. I see a new dodger, new instruments,,,,, wondering what other things you had time for or thought were worthwhile. Your videos are amazing and I'm learning so much! Thanks for taking the time to share. I've been retired for one year, bought a trailer/sailor, and making good use of her on inland waters. Working my way through your whole series, and just so amazed. Fair winds, and Godspeed!

[@HuiChyr]

I love Dillon's life philosophy "You gotta let life runs its course".

[@byrdmartin5748]

Gotta love Brady's comment before leaving port..."Everything's working" (famous last words) and the clip ending with "We're taking on water".

[@alexanderb3340]

amazing editing! Let's hope that the new equipment stands the salty conditions.

[@clifflong1203]

Nonstop grinning from here! I enjoy each episode more than anything else on the web. Can't wait to get out there sailing and hopefully meet up with you all one day! Cheers from Florida!

[@happydog2516]

Captain & Crew, Of Sailing Vessel, "DOLAS" I love you guys ! I've watched like everyone else most of all your videos like everyone else! I'm laid up in a hospital bed and your videos helps me so much thank you in advance! I "laugh" so hard and out loud! Kirin you are sweetheart captain you're a lucky man! Okay one of my favorite is watching Brady take a sip of beer in the morning and starts giggling with Karin that is so sick in Epic! Love Earl XX Smoky Mountains Tennessee USA thank you "Dolas"

[@AlexandreTchikalov]

watched it again...possibly the best video footage section - Cape Town-Reunion-Madagascar with Kiril behind the camera and editing influence, it's like hours/days of emotions and experience condensed in to seconds, and besides that is possibly one of the best Delos positive and adventurous crew :-)

[@jrp616]

great job on the editing. but I must say, its the content, the adventures & personalities that keep us all coming back for more. the editing is just a finishing touch.

[@taylorlund4188]

That snake was a Puff Adder. They are an extremely venomous species of pit viper. Glad you kept your distance! haha!

[@davidbayly1]

The best episode ever! And that's a big call!

[@timlamarre8680]

Great video. So nice to see you tuck into a harbor and avoid the storm. It was so smart of you to head back into the Indian Ocean as there is so much more to see there.

[@kristenfletcher4260]

Im no expert when it comes to cameras & all that stuff, I just want to say I love watching how in tune Brady & Brian are of the weather, yacht, co-ordinates & how professional you are when on radio duty. I love it, I love it a lot! And I also want to mention you two have great smiles, don't neglect those pearly whites, just as you wouldn't neglect Delos & her mechanics, rigging ect. Be safe, hope your new crew don't become to ferrel, you can still wash in salt water & rinse with fresh.. I feel for Karin, she always looks clean & fresh! ⚓️🇦🇺

[@johntenney1692]

What a change, It was a lot of fun to see how your adventure/life story has evolved in to a growing enterprise. The daydream is the fun for me, so the reality, hand held goofy happy hippy dippy is what brought me to the party. I am staying for the slick, stylized, high def hi jinks as the crew rotates they all bring there own skills and aptitudes which is big fun. Stay Salty.

[@sjur2108]

Out of old habit I put the thumb up before watching. I´ll let it stay there, but my honest opinion about the style of editing is mixed. It feels a bit like going from 7x50 binoculars to a more pocketfriendly theatre-version. You look at the same object with less detail and a sense of greater distance. That said I still love following your channel and look forward to next friday! And your announced filming on the work you have done on the boat in Africa. Fair winds :-)

[@hamlaouiakram5096]

i can see that one of the three new members is really a good photographer and a good editor too

[@kocka9192]

karen and kiril great job on edeiting its getting better by the episode

[@jamesedwards1588]

I loved it. I feel you have reenergized Delos and season two Indian Ocean is going to be a great season.

[@jonnyhewitt7112]

guys, I love the new style, super dope, from all of us at Iowa State University fair winds and following seas!

[@somedaysailor7913]

Glad you bought that painting at 11:43. I saw it in an earlier video and thought it was pretty sweet! As far as the video editing thing, follow your gut. It got you this far. Rock on guys!

[@PilarSailing]

WOW! Your filming and editing has allways been great... But now, just beauuutiful!!! Magnificent! Fruktansvärd, Karin!

[@martinw767]

Kazza, you really took the editing and filming up to another new level. Impressive ++

[@gatojj]

i don't really care about the editing quality i just care about the adventures you take us all on ty :).. My brother showed me these vids and I've been hooked every since ! I Live Vicariously through you guys lol keep them coming !

[@timthiel2058]

Great video! I I agree with a lot of other folks that though the montage style is good here and there it can be a little heavy at times. I think too many really short clips strung together gives off a feeling that you are trying to cover too much ground at once and leaves out the personality of you guys we all love so much. Just my two cents, keep up the amazing work! I look forward to these videos every Friday morning on my hellish crowded train ride, so thank you!!!!!!

[@astrocj4219]

Cheers to the Delos crew for not giving in to the big production companies wanting to shit all over what Delos is all about. Great video like always! Keep it up, you are keeping that spark alive in me that just wants to live in the moment and find out who I really am. Love you guys..! Stay safe. :)

[@mikekurtz9443]

The editing is amazing, it really brings out emotion in your audience. How this isn't on something like Discovery Channel ill never know. yall are killing it!

[@lcdemack]

Loving the new Vid look Delos. Beautiful. Thanx for taking us along. :-)

[@keithvinson8992]

[@mikeskor6230]

How wonderful to have warnings of approaching lows. I loved the sea otters on deck. An exciting video.

[@Kraals]

After watching so many episodes with the old crew, it seems strange to see all these new faces.

[@christopherjuntti5511]

Go Delos! I hope the new crew enjoy the experience. Loved the first crossing of the Indian Ocean and am ready to watch 2.0 as you sail back across. Fair winds, smooth seas!

[@RH-qk5lt]

As a life long boater, I'm a embarrassed to admit this. I had to research the difference between SOG vs SOW after seeing your instrumentation showing this. I Now know the difference and how important these are. Delos taught me something today! ;)

[@mattf49006]

you folks and la vagabonde are my go to sailing vlogs..welcome back if you ever decide to do a great lakes tour and have a "bring a old as your parents guy" cruise..i'm in!!

[@davewilkins7438]

water leak at sea?..CHRIST!!😦..feels like I'm there with you Delos.great job on the new video guys. love to see the evolution of your vids . CHEERS to the new crew too!

[@adrianmunro7438]

South Africa is awesome so nice to see local South Africans where I am from..safe sailing and good luck with the passage...The editing has improved..amazing videos to come

[@sailingpittsburgh]

I like all of your editing styles, Brian Karin and Brady each produce very enjoyable episodes. Good call Capt Brian for avoiding the storm and making it to port before the blow started. Always better to be safe than sorry. It was also nice to see the tug letting you tie up rather than having to anchor and worrying about dragging the anchor all thru the night. I am just curious if you have to pay them to tie up. I can see it going either way or is there a custom among sailors to help each other out when a storm is approaching. In any event, nice job Karin and thanks for posting. I always look forward to new Delos adventures on Friday.

[@Jeep-Addicts]

Great editing and the video work is amazing. Really shows a great perspective. Paul

[@n.leeball3049]

I have watched some older videos (Late 20's episodes) recently, and the editing style has changed to reflect the personalities of the crew that is on the boat. With that being said, I think this reflects this crew's personality as well. It is all good! I have learned so much about places that I will never get to go. Thank you for sharing!

[@hommie789]

Cool video guys, when did Delos get a new dodger/Bimini? all enclosed now, should do a video of all the improvements and changes.

[@malogrisard]

You guys definetely reached a new level in the quality of the images you shoot !

[@tim850csi]

Fantastic videography and editing! Y'all have really stepped up your game!

[@huntsue2]

Good job Delos Crew, Fair winds and following seas!!

[@fluxxzorr1805]

Awesome! I really enjoy your videos and how you all interact as a crew. You take me out to sea with even though I'm land locked and I really appreciate it. much love!

[@daltonm6764]

The most relaxing and enjoyable show I've ever come across. Thank you for sharing the good times.

[@baysike]

Quality from one video to another is rocketing to the space!

[@campertobi]

Seen all your fantastic adventures. Stay tuned and healthy. Great to see that people are making their dreams true. Greetings from munich.

[@JamesVibe]

Nice montage....very well done. But, don't make it to "slick". There is a charm in just watching you guys do things, little slower. Seems like we missed a lot of good partying w that cool dude who let you tie up in that skinny port last time. And I didn't know the girl is a yoga person...that looked cool.....wanted to know more.. Funny it's been months for you guys, for us it's been 30min, between video's. Ha! (I'm watching from a hospital bed in NYC, you guys r my escape...thx very much!)

[@shahntv]

I love the new video style. You are doing more of those rapid progressions through shots and we get to see more variety in content. The video quality also looks like it has improved. Can't wait to see more of the new(old) crew. :)

[@fauxtoh]

The video edit is on point. Good job Delos!

[@Custercounty01]

in April 92 I went on what was supposed to be a few days of sailing from Mossel Bay to Port Elizabeth and ran straight into a 16 year storm that blew for 4 days, wind 100mph gusting 130.. There was no warning from the weather service. Don't know how big the seas got but massive for sure. Tried to shelter in the lee of the Robberg peninsula in Plettenburg bay but with such wind speed the wind in the lee was pretty fast in a southerly direction... Will not forget the experience. May not experience such severe conditions for the rest of my life...

[@jamesball590]

great video Delos crew I'm hoping one day I'll have the money to buy my own boat and sail around the world like yall right now I'm just a poor ol country boy landlocked just itching to get out on the water

[@dtonvista]

OMG, I have liked all the crews you have had on board, you 're going to be busy with this one. I cannot wait to see the video when you turn North, what will the winds in the open Ocean be like!

[@shanekonarson]

Honestly 19 thumbs down ? Who can dislike a Delos video ? Really ! Good work folks all your vids are top notch !

[@castaway123100]

The part where the women are sailing the boat in the middle of the night and the men are all curled up together asleep below deck, soooo sweet and funny!

[@joewilshire9095]

Looks like you guys are having fun with the editing and cool shooting techniques. I know more complex filmmaking can be fun, so go nuts. I am just amazed that you guys can quickly brush over something that looks amazing and would yield a full 20 min blog style video from some other channels. Bring us in on some of those excursions you guys did! its easy enough to pump out those videos, and they would help the channel too! Cheers, thanks for the video!

[@wesleyddavies]

Thank you, Delos! I'm a yes on Ads for your videos (and likes and subscribes and comments, obviously); not so much on patreon, but hoping to help further your journey!

[@andreasweber5638]

Very , very cool episode. There is a new mojo on Delos. Great to watch on the other side of the interwebs too

[@TheDJohnson50]

Video editing skils have grown so much. This video is so awesome!

[@AdventuresOnBoatscom]

I have followed you for a very long time and I really like the new editing. Definitely a step in the right direction. Keep up the good work. -johnny

[@d.b.cooper6112]

Very good & much enjoyed Delos crew . . .

[@pennybreedon1706]

Just commented but forgot to say this. You guys have the most amazing life and i hope it keeps going geat for you. Love from Canada

[@DFWReal-estate]

Nice job Kazza! And look forward to this new journey! I hope to catch you all some day in the Caribbean!

[@Cosminen]

Wow! The quality upgrade is huge!! Have to go to sleep, but can't wait to watch more later! :)

[@kirkpennock2997]

Thumbs up to the new crew and miss all the nasty weather.

[@Schnot]

New digital gauges? Looks like you made some upgrades to Delos while you were in Cape Town. Do you think you can go over what you changed for us long time watchers?

[@konrad1853]

I'm glad I'm not the only one to notice this. No doubt there's a practical reason for this but I really liked original analog gauges.

[@b-manc9224]

are there any maintenance videos? I saw somewhere they got a new generator. I personally want to hear all about the upgrades and maintenance work!

[@steveo1kinevo]

Wow, the editing went to a whole new level. Very cool!

[@mgs8747]

Alway keep the opening music. It mellows me out in great anticipation for the video. When you get back to Seattle. Look me up. Thanks for sharing. Love to see what you are up to.

[@HAZ3IFY]

please keep the vids long i absolutley love the content and dream of one day doing exactly what u guys are so these videos keep me motivated and heading in the direction of the sea

[@jooleybugcopp9765]

What can I say.........❤ it! Just plain & simple.

[@jameshardman7536]

Starting little off, brady woke up without a shirt, started walking through boat, then all of a sudden hes in a shirt. With hug smile.

[@pk13910]

I like the change. Change is good.

[@Ozboyz60]

Nice WHITE gumboots Brady...did you lose a bet? You on a fishing trawler?😁 But seriously..you guys are amazing. I am no video expert - whatever you do seems really brilliant. Appreciate that you want feedback to keep learning! I think you are doing a great job of "putting us on board". Thanks.

[@sirsweetalot]

New Crew looks like fun! Excited for the new Episode

[@terrencebradley5417]

Really like the new crew. Felt the hair stand up on my neck when I saw the weather behind you. Glad you were within shouting distance of a safe harbor.

[@2xtream]

You guys are old salts, I really enjoy watching your videos...

[@svoctopus4888]

From analog to digital. I like your new gauges.

[@SuperLaplander]

Lovely video. New crew seems very promising. Carmen is my new favourite for now. Best regards from Sweden
