After over a year of planning we head from the mountains to the sea and set our sites on the Galapagos Islands! This world famous archipelago drops our jaws from the first moment we set foot on the islands. In this episode we explain what led us to the Galapagos Islands, share a bit of their history, find a GIANT WILD TORTOISE and enjoy some questionable tortoise trivia with Senor.

Excellent photography and music. Quite professional.

[@stldg01]

Oh how I've missed Blue and Senor Brady on KZbin! Their photography/videography and editing are like no other! They have their own style and vibe! Can't wait to follow along!

[@CruisersAcademy]

Thanks so much Damian!

💯

[@rileymsdad]

Perfectly stated!

[@DBartWest]

I concur. Very well done.

[@vic2265]

I would love to see Senoir Brady link up and sail beside Delos now that would be a hugely welcome sight!

[@TimTimTomTom]

I think that time has passed, unfortunately. I've noticed neither Brian/Karen, or Brady and Alex ever say more than a couple words about each other anymore. It's impossible to know for sure, but it definitely seems like the way in which Brady and Alex had to leave the boat, and probably other background circumstances have permanently soured the relationship to some degree. At least that's how I read the tea leaves... that ship has sailed I think. I hope, and would love to be wrong about that though. The "old" Delos was magic, but that was because of the combined personalities and all of the constant motion.

[@WHEREVER-I-ROAM]

@@TimTimTomTom Yep BABIES screw a lot of things up

[@CruisersAcademy]

@@TimTimTomTom happy to report you are wrong on this one :)) the old Delos crew is all good, just on our own paths and super busy! But it sounds like we will be seeing Delos in the Sea of Cortez by the end of the year, each sailing our own vessels there 🎉

[@scyz2807]

@@TimTimTomTom Being able to attend the 2021 US Sailboat Show in Annapolis I can assure you that Brian, Karin, Sierra, Brady, Blue, Sean and even Papa Delos were there and enjoying time together. In, fact, if you check out my YT channel you will find a video I captured during a Patreon Meet-Up where everyone I've mentioned is present. Most of them happily spoke to the group. Papa Delos (Micheal) even plays some guitar! : - ) Have a look.

[@TimTimTomTom]

@@CruisersAcademy Man, that's awesome to hear! Seriously, one time I'm super glad to be wrong.

[@jodymooney255]

Ok guys, the cinematography and editing was truly a grand slam. What an amazing trip to experience and thank you for taking us along!

[@jamesplyler9892]

Man, I've missed the Brady and Blue voiceovers from the Delos days! Great content as usual! Can't wait to see what the Galapagos have in store!

[@elsiesmith1771]

OMG -- yay!!! Happy dance! Blue and Brady!!

[@Jacksterific]

Dang! The Blue & Brady Show is back! Happy days are here again 😃

[@dulltusk1]

Blue's complexion is absolutely amazing!

[@joecat101]

When you guys parted from SVD it was like a punch in the gut. Complete bummer. And now it's like "Virgil Brinkman back on the air". Pleased to see you both, look forward to seeing more. Be well.

[@user-sq5bw2fc4n]

Me too. I stopped watching SVD when these guys left.

[@user-tq4ox1cx3m]

Im late to the party, but FANTASTIC video. Delos not the same without you and so genuinely happy for you both! Brady’s wit and Blue’s video skills. Well done!

[@dusty52267]

So great to see your smiles and infectious kindness again. Looking forward to the next one. Stay safe out there.

[@allisonvonbuelow1338]

We missed you guys so much. Seeing you guys often was such a joy to us. We are old adventurers with health issues that relegate us to stay mostly within our own compound. So we paddle board with our old dog… but stay home mostly with a climbing wall and a recording studio. My husband is a mastering engineer who has amazing skills with sound production. So we write music and have as much daily fun as possible. …. Now we get to go with you guys. Sailing was my passion for years… my dad had a CT 54… and an Angleman Ketch before that….. So the California coastal seas were our backyard fun. We have watched Delos videos all many times through and love the adventures …. But in all honest truth… we missed you guys mucho-a lot. We love your connection with the nature that surrounds you. You,, like us, have a propensity to envelop yourselves within the natural environment… the animals, no matter how distant and different they are….(we have skunks and wild bunnies that live in our yard, and I built a lizard house out of a wheel barrel!!! ). Oh… and husband loves astrophotography…..retirement is grand! Hugs. So glad you are back.

[@CruisersAcademy]

Climbing wall?! Recording studio?! Pet skunks?! Your compound sounds awesome! Sending u guys health and happiness and glad you enjoyed the episode :)

[@Kiwi_Mike]

I've missed the sound of your voices and your superb story telling. Nice to have you on the radar again 👍 cheers from NZ

[@krissyjo]

I'm in Ecuador RIGHT NOW! My kiddo and I did a school trip to the Galapagos and it's absolutely mind-blowing how beautiful everything is!

[@timhyatt9185]

really missed you guys since you turned Delos back over to Brian and left. for your own things. hoping you'll be doing a LOT more videos; I'll be watching for them!!!

[@camaroness]

Thank you so much for releasing new content. I miss Brady on Delos! Delos is still good but not the same without him

[@nooneanybodyknows1321]

Thrilled to see the two of you again! Of all the places in the world, the Galapagos Islands are the first place I would go if I could go anywhere. I so want to travel there. Thank you for bringing me along for this awesome journey. I love you to pieces💙.

[@kimtaylor6149]

Brady & Blue!!! there are back at it!

[@michael49777]

You haven't lost that beautiful photography touch Blue, I love your work, it's outstanding.

[@rockysouthflorida1707]

Oh Sharky mom and dad finally got the epic trip edited and uploaded to the KZbins! Give them a big ol wet sloppy dog kiss! LOL! Nice VLOG of the trip! Cheers from the Sunshine State!!!!!!!!

[@thomaswesterbeck5911]

Brady and Blue are back! Yes! Lesss gooooo!

[@Chasing72]

Blue’s comment about coloring in the picture of what you thought a place might be like was a great analogy. Now to figure out how to incorporate “coloring outside the lines.”

[@heidilegg1475]

Yeah so stoked for this series, you guys have some seriously high quality filming skills and a great layed back vibe in your videos! Thank you for filming and sharing with the world ❤

[@gaetanbrosseau7439]

I'd soooo been missing you guys and the beautifull editing you do. Alex's calming voice, and Brady's humorous tone make my day !! Keep 'em coming ! will certainly look into joining your Patreon crew !

[@sebastienmarceau8065]

Good to see you guys, the cinematography and the vibe you produce is very rare and appreciated

[@skippyone3085]

Omg this is unreal, just literally watched Delos Panama canal stream and this appeared in my recommendation list. To be honest I clicked to see Galapagos wildlife not knowing who's channel it is. Instantly I really mean instantly the echo of old Delos vids came flooding back. The distinctive voices and it has to be said !!! Unique video quality + story telling. Brady is the charm and warmth Blu the ultimate creator of a quality production. You guys should be working for national Geographic. Subbed and now awaiting an update asap please.

[@keithsimmons263]

A very beautiful film made by two beautiful souls.

[@rupertgale9861]

Your films are so beautiful. You seem to have a gentle pace and unobtrusive eye to captures the world. So miss you guys...

[@hdlstns]

Nice to see you guys in the tropics again! That 360 cam footage is really good. I love that it gives the viewer a feel for the entire area with the much wider angle of view. Good call on bringing that along Blue!

[@ronzander7648]

Great video guys, incredible cinematography. The shot of the marine iguana was outstanding. Wife and I visit Galapagos in 2014, unfortunately our liveaboard was cancelled the day before we left but we went anyway, we could only do shore diving but still enjoyed the islands and incredible animals.

[@judeypinstock5149]

Loved every minute of this video! You just know how to make it interesting and entertaining! Traveling with you like this keeps stay-at-home moms like me sane... thank you and stay safe and healthy!

[@JasonKechely]

Really top notch work here. You guys haven't missed a step, and if anything, the storytelling, details, and filming just keep getting better and better. I'm sure I speak for many when I say, "Wow, I've really missed you two!!" I'm so happy for you folks. Thanks for sharing, and much love to you both

[@rawilson9299]

Glad to see you all picking up the camera again and enjoying LIFE! Makes ya grateful to be alive. Looking forward to more awesome content.

[@domcp711]

Exciting. Keep the videos coming and stay who you are.

[@johanmarais9950]

Wow Senor Brady and beautiful Blue - you are so professional and long awaited on KZbin - thank you lovely young people

[@Cturnerwrite]

So great to catch up with you guys! The tranquility and beauty of the islands brings me complete satisfaction! Miss you from Delos, but wonderful to see you are on your own adventure!

[@tl32246]

I’m so glad to see you guys!! Hope you are here to stay!!

[@veesimmons2464]

The lounging bench seals cracked me up! How cool! And Gladys...adorable. I look forward to seeing more of your adventure.

[@KennyP88]

Love you guys!!!! Mind blowing video. NEVER seen you both so sparkling bright white. Post taco alarm clocks can NEVER be ignored!

[@chrismabbitt7405]

Holy cow where have you two been latley its been FOREVER!

[@michaelflowers2290]

Yes! Needed some B&B in my life. I’m always watching Delos and missing you guys! Much love.

[@vinuezaer]

I'm from Ecuador and haven't made it there yet. Too many things to see in the mainland of Ecuador. This will help my planning. Thank you.

[@JasonEdelman66]

we all know the next step after the kids are gone... hug it out.. great to see your smiling faces! Cheers, J

[@markwarren3060]

Awesome vid. So glad to see you back. Galapagos is certainly a bucket list destination.

[@ryanrowland5909]

I HAVE BEEN WONDERING WHERE YOU 2 WENT! love to see you guys back on the open waters. i cant wait to follow your journey just like the old days in delos. good luck guys!

[@scyz2807]

To start off, at 4:30 I just lava that view from the plane! I've never seen a crater view than that. : - ) At 5:16 the Galapagos gives you its seal of approval! It was nice to see a local brewery making beer there. They should begin exporting it. People would probably LOVE a (probably pricey) beer from the Galapagos! Then, getting the bikes was a great idea. As to flying your quad, . . . well, I've picked up a few older (but good condition) models, and they are "stupid" as far as "no fly zones" go. I don't fly mine near airports so I probably wouldn't have a problem even if they had Geo Fencing. But a nice stable 4k aerial video platform is best when it doesn't tell you can't fly it. : - ) At 9:41 That's what she actually said! lol BTW - Drone Blue was cool! Then at 11:15 . . . I see dead people! But do they see me? haha Next we get our eye in the sky flyin'. That place is GREEN! I'd worry about getting the quad back to you through all those trees. I'm also wondering why that one "pond" is very brown? Perhaps sewage is pumped there? Then you find that tortoise! What amazing creatures. And they can eat poison apples! WOW You've tort us a lot. : - )

[@vernonsimmons4578]

Who knew? That was one of the most informative videos in a looong time. Many thanks!🤗

[@lmadrid00]

Glad to see you guys back on KZbin. And glad to see you keep a Brazilian flag in you backpack. I am flying there in a couple of month to sail those warm waters and eat a lot of COXINHAS...

[@georgebrady1060]

Hey, great to see you guys back again. You both look great. The Galapagos is on our bucket list. The animal interaction is just amazing. Loved the closeup[s of the land tortoise and the seals. Pretty cool stuff. your time there and be safe. George & Debby Brady

[@chrisriehl1696]

It's all the same medium just different states. I love all snow sliding formats, sailing, kiting, paragliding and it so often trips me out that its all H2O. 🤯 So happy to see you making wonderful videos. My youtube comments have been extra long as of late. Broke my ribs😒

[@CruisersAcademy]

Yep, we feel you on the love of the different formats! Hope you have a speedy recovery and can get back after it 💪

[@carolemmerson6151]

I’ve missed you two glad to see your still doing you tube if not regularly👌

[@adayinthelife5496]

Wow. I almost forgot how much talent these two bring to their videos.

[@anthonymiller8989]

Susan & Tony here, Hay its you kids, just found your channel, maybe its not as new as we thought. We will be watching you so go out there and make a difference. XOXO

Night sessions at Boreal!!

[@kurtcraig3421]

great to see none of those delos filming skills have gone astray.

[@joesphbest3120]

Good seeing you two again.👍👍

[@alexandrebueno74]

Good to see you again.... There is a word in Brazil that sums up the feeling: Saudade

[@MC-re2ry]

Oh man. It's fun watching the Nugget grow up but . . . My o' my have I been missing Brady and Blue. So glad to see you!

[@darrengladstone3159]

It's not a zero sum game. It's all good. 👍👌

[@kentmuehlich5251]

Hopefully I won't be rambling I have watched Brady since he was on SV delos from the day that he met Blue wearing his special cologne. Bud into this beautiful relationship, that him and blue have together I was sad to see the day that you guys left Delos, and then excited to see what you guys have done together, you two have put a lasting attitude onmethat I will never forget, thank you for all that you do all that you put into your videos, I am so happy for you guys and look forward to continuing to see everything that you guys create.

[@MrKroesamaja]

"Drones are questionable in the Galaoagos" that was funny. Like you didn't know before.

[@sleepyone3399]

Gods blessing are found all over the world!!! It's great to see you two back on the move, the video as always was amazing and seemed to only last two minutes. My prayers are with you as you travel and every day. My greatest memory of the Tortoise in FL Okefenokee swamp back in the mid sixties, as a kid we got to ride on the Tortoise, but as you shared the story it is a reminder how much we all need to aline and become as one in our living world. So cool this video, I see B and B Belong together love you two.

[@MikeVanHorn]

Glad you are both doing well. Looking forward to the Galapagos videos!

[@nautichunt84]

Awesome to see you guys back on the tube, looking forward to the next video

[@wkw4095]

aaahhhhhhh.....I'm ready for some awesome imagery and vibes.

[@stephenrrose]

I have always loved your videos and watching both of you on your adventures. Thank you for the education on the land turtles, and the history of the Galapagos islands. Thank you for filming, editing, adding just the right music, and all the behind the scenes we do not see. Stay Safe!

[@prilexz4586]

Sr Brady and blue it's been long time.... Miss you both stay safe more videos to come

[@jonathanspindloe8854]

From a long time Delos fan....these videos are great to see!! Well Done!! I would love to see sailing videos from your bluewater boat.

[@vickykrugman-mendel5900]

so so good to see and hear blue and senor brady again! love the content and videography! missed you guys!

[@GoldcoastSurfCam]

Awesome!! Can't wait for some new content from you guys!

[@bobflores]

beautiful presentation. glad you're back.

[@DobDog151]

In March of 2020, I had bags packed to visit the Galapagos with a school trip with my daughter. (I’m a teacher too) We had the trip cancelled just days before departure due to Covid. We were disappointed then, but this footage makes me realize what we missed. Need to get there someday. So cool.

[@CruisersAcademy]

Oh man what a bummer. The galapguenos depended mostly on tourism so having the country shut down for that long was super difficult for them, they are keen to have tourists come back so they can feed their families again!

[@gaflaview6476]

Great to see you guys back on a vlog. Looking forward to your future videos. Good video.

[@chicagoblair]

Great to see you two, I miss your style and perspective on life, very chill.

[@chrish6923]

I gotta say. I really missed seeing you guys on Delos. My intro to Delos was the start of your Atlantic crossing to the Azores. Watching that entire series as it aired, and then seeing you guys disappear for like...2 freaking years sucked. But Im glad you are both happy, killin it at life and staring something new.

[@CruisersAcademy]

Hey Chris! Glad you found us here :) We needed a lil break from the constant editing and filming cycle but now that we’ve had it we are really excited to be making films again!

[@svlotus4379]

Sooo missed you guys. Please continue producing content.

[@sailingpittsburgh]

Great to see you two back on youtube. This was a very enjoyable video and you both have great skill to create outstanding content. Thanks.

[@hansslob6749]

Now this is what I’ve been waiting for, beautiful footage, good music and two people who are amazed of what they see and share it!

[@OrcaMichelle]

You showed so much more respect for the wildlife than sailing zatara did when they were in the Galapagos, Thank you!

[@mnhockeyone]

Glad to see you're alive! Keep up the good work!

[@Laters3]

Glad to see use both back respect ✊🏻🇮🇲

[@donmoore7613]

Happy to see you and Blue out at sea again. Great combination between the two of you!

[@joshtvg]

Awesome first adventure! Good to see you two back at it!

[@samanthasavageau7927]

I’m so happy to hear/see Brady and Blue’s narrative again because I’ve missed the unique way you both express your adventures. Last year I found my way to the Delos videos among other sailing KZbinrs so it’s really cool to find another vlogging channel “born”. I wish you the best on this journey and can’t wait to see more content!

[@moosebonsai]

YES! The professional Wassailers are beck!~ You guys' wildlife videography rivals that of Jacques Cousteau. Oh! Did I ever tell you? I dated Jac's granddaughter once. That is until she wouldn't stop talking about her boyfriend on our third date.

[@enriquerrs]

I really miss you guys, I love Delos but you 2 are one of a kind. Looking forward for more videos 💪🏼

[@PlainStraightShooter]

WoW!! Finally I get a chance to catch up on some you tube and look, Its the Brady and Blue. You guys really rock and I missed seeing you do fantastic work. I knew right away that you both had some very good photography skills and the history search to go with it. Skills that you both have put you in a dream for most of us and you bring it to us like we are there. I will be watching all the new videos and enjoying just as much as this one. Keep on Keeping on you two.

[@solaireastora5394]

Nice to see you back on KZbin

[@stilcrazychris]

Yeah your back @ it. I've missed you two sooooooo muchhhhhhhhhh! Looking forward to seeing more of y'all. Have a wonderful day & be safe, Chris from Missouri

[@_pic_7571]

Missed you guys. Missed the research that you put in to the vids. Even Brady's 😂. Missed the top notch cenamatography too.

Wow let the journey begin so happy to see you guys filming and diving.Video is flawless ,absolutely love the voiceover.

[@vernholmes7940]

The video, commentary and history are amazing. Great to see you guys back in the islands.
