DOWN and DIRTY in the Boat Yard! - Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 289

[@johncarter8539]

Thank God for Ryan and Jeff and all the kind folks! World is full of great people! Good job all!!!

[@adventureswithryan5474]

Thank God for the Delos Project! It was an amazing 2 weeks out there. Thanks for the kind words John

[@scottmurray5600]

Beer love. A cool shower. Friends. Space. Sometimes the land feels really good. Another great video. I have to admit to being slightly addicted to Delos videos. They're just like cold beer on a sunny day.

[@thewaywardsailors]

Mates helping out is what its all about! We bought a 60ft steel yacht in March and have been refitting it so we can head out yonder. We have zero sailing experience but have had so many mates come down to the yard over the past 4 months on the weekends to help out! A helping hand is priceless, even if its a simple thing like dropping by for a chat at lunch! Cannot wait to get on the water and start giving back!

[@anitahardesty2163]

Ya, Boat maintenance! Love it! : - ) Hey, not only boat upkeep but mama Kazza and that cute little Nugget! And it's so amazing that local Delos Tribe members came out to volunteer their labor there in the boat yard! Thanks Ryan! Thanks Jeff! There's probably 50+ of us who would have also helped if we were local. So "Thanks!" to you guys for chipping in to help Brian/Delos.

[@svdelos]

Yeah, normally I have the whole crew to help with the labor so it was so amazing for the Delos Tribe to step up to help get 'er done :)

[@adventureswithryan5474]

No thanks needed. I would do it again in a heart beat. These guys are amazing and they have inspired me for close to 7 years now, so it was the least that I could do. If you get a chance to meet them, do it. They are even cooler in person.

@@adventureswithryan5474, I completely agree. Almost exactly a year ago I met Brian, Brady and their father Michael at the US Sailboat Show. I even got a few pictures with them. I was also late getting my ticket to the 59 North presentation, and Brian went out of his way to find me a seat. That seat ended up being one table away from Paul and Sheryl of Distant Shores!

Have grown to love you guys and have experienced every emotion as you have shared your life with me. From the boat maintenance with Brian (something I no longer have to do!) Kazza - such a beautiful, capable sailor and Mum - to little Nugget - pure "Gold". When the link to your latest post arrives - everything else stops - I'm a timber slab sign engraver - I just gotta see what you guys are up to and hope nobody visits me because I often have tears of joy pouring down my cheeks when I "come on board" Wishing you continued safe and amazing travels.....Namaste

You can rinse the gear case of the bow thruster in mineral spirits if needed during fluid changes per Amel's advice. I have worked on several super maramu and I can attest to their foward engineering, with a couple of WTF's to boot 😜. We were happy to see you all at Cobb's marina in Norfolk Virginia for a little while. The stern of your vessel certainly tells stories of the sea! Happy sailing

I was a little sad to finally watch the most recent episode about a month ago and now I eagerly await Fridays for the next. Thanks so much for helping me keep my sanity and showing me what life is really all about! Love your boat work and emergency repair episodes as you continue to demonstrate the diversity of your boat maintenance and repair skills. Somehow I think your engineering schooling has come in handy instilling you with the attitude that with a little research you can fix just anything. Wishing you fair weather with just the right amount of wind!

It is very cool to see someone that knows every inch of their boat so well and knows how to take care of it. You can see the passion.

[@richardelder256]

Hi Brian Its great to see a sailing site that shows that the real world is more than T & A! As a builder who has seen everything over thirty years I found it disconcerting to see an underwater opening on Delos being patched with sticky-poo joining to a pipe of unknown material and condition. The basic rule is "keep the mast up and the water out." That means that every hole that is underwater (including when rail down) must have a properly installed thru hull plus interior backing plate and be capable of being closed with a seacock that is threaded directly on the thru hull. No red brass fittings anywhere underwater. No non-reinforced plastic waterline hose in the system below the water. No dis-similar metals in close proximity (stainless ball valves in bronze or brass housings with brass nipples threaded in and closed by rusty steel handles.) I don't see how the repair job you show meets those minimal standards. Wouldn't be the first time I've seen similar, even on multi-million dollar superyachts...... ps: Are you familiar with details of the Amel that sank at anchor in Granada while un-attended about ten years ago? A failure involving the bow thruster as I recall. I believe there was a serious lawsuit around it? Worth looking into the history for any preventive maintenance it implies.

[@javahedz]

Not everyone would agree, or even know ... but few things are as satisfying as quality preventive maintenance work! The confidence it gives you in your vessel is amazing. Of course, “shite happens”, sure enough ... but the level of knowledge and care that goes into Delos under the guiding hands and expert eyes of Capt Breeyan is worthy of imitation in our own endeavors. Great episode, no question!! Thanks for all you give to US!!! With hugs, Bill G

Sierra is convincing me that babies can understand speech far sooner than they can use it. her reaction when you said you'd come back and have a fun day was too on point for coincidence! What a smart child you do have.

[@PHPCody]

I'm going to be honest, I didn't know what to expect once Brady and Alex left the boat and it went from being a large crew to being just the 2 of you and the Nugget. What hooked me on your channel, and I'm sure this goes for most of your fans, was the large family/crew adventure that allowed us to live vicariously through your island hopping, nude swimming, moonshine making, party all the time lifestyle. I didn't know if I was going to like the mature, family oriented change with a much smaller crew. I'm glad I chose to stick it out and give it a chance. While I miss most of the old crew, it has been a smooth transition. I enjoy your videos as much as I did before, and I wanted to thank you for sharing your lives with us all of these years. I'll still be a Patron when you guys retire and Nugget becomes the new Captain of Delos.

@Russell Dodson As far as I remember they only told us that they wanted to let Brian, Kazza and Nugget have some space on the boat, so that they could accommodate easier to the new life. They never really said on video they won't be back, but it was pointing to that, judging by Brian's emotion when Brady left. Yeah until Delos 2.0, Brady and Alex went ahead to test their teaching abilities on lake Tahoe.

If it was me, I would miss the ocean, too.

Hello Brian and family. What I like and what I can have from your videos, apart from everything about sailing, nature, etc., is the honesty you aply in all what you all do. Besides, you both are polite, you are correct, and very brave, like the very brave Portuguese sailors that discover and changed the world in the 15th century. By the way, you were in a Azores, were you also in Lisbon? Very best regards and All the best.

After all these years, I still enjoy watching your boat projects Brian. It inspires and motivates me to do the same.

It's so interesting to see how much maintenance a boat needs and knowing the results will keep you safely afloat! Sierra is getting so big...Walking soon. You will need to tie her down when you are sailing!! Good Luck and see you next time!!

Hands down one of the best moments of my week, in bed, watching the new episode and getting distracted from the studying I do the rest of the week.
