Hurricane Lorenzo aftermath.... Sailing Vessel Delos Ep.252

[@brewpipes2713]

I love in the outtakes, when Brady is all pissed off and frustrated from trying to capture their canyoning experience, Blue is present, supportive and sweet.

[@danielmoss2394]

It’s official. You guys and girls are the luckiest SOBs on the planet. So jealous of what you get to do. Be safe, we love you.

[@geroldglocker5276]

Thought the same

[@mkllove]

@@svdelos I think it was saved by being the in the deepest water, quite possibly submerged under waves, thereby avoiding the worst damage. This might be a learning lesson for the rebuild... To heavily reinforce the outside most anchor points, and make a floating dock(s) that can be pulled in ashore, or moved out into deeper water to float out the storm where the waves aren't breaking, just rising and falling. Not sure if anyone makes docks that can be intentionally flooded, but might be a good alternative to pulling up on shore.

[@goodbyemr.anderson5065]

Mike Love dude it's not a dock it to protect the harbour. Floating, or mobile wouldn't work in this situation.

[@vaughnhill3437]

I hate to see those hurricanes do all that damage. Unfortunately i know all to well. Im 50 years old and i live in southeast texas and i have been thru about 5 major hurricanes in my life. Alicia in 1983 was the first one and the worst one for us was harvey. I live about 30 miles northeast of houston and i know first hand that it aint always wind that creates havoc. High water damage is jjst as bad because yoj cant get away from it. God bless all those folks in the azores and you guys too. Be safe and keep the videos coming. Your videos of sailing are the only ones i watch. Ive been watching for about 3 years

[@bevanpope7924]

That break water story is just mind blowing! How something like that can have such an effect on an entire community! Also love the fact that the Delos Painting survived like a sole image left on that wall!

[@deenamitchell8037]

Amazing the power of wind and sea on that wall. Hopefully the Island has had time to recover and start rebuilding.

[@martinsassenberg9420]

Stopp at 07:21! Stunning. The entire wall is gone, but the part with "SV DELOS" survived!

[@judykinsman3258]

You guys are a lesson in what can happen when you open yourself up to what life can offer when you come with love, kindness and respect for nature. Thank you a million times over.

[@walkercustoms]

Delos inspired me to go from my 20' to a 25' with a real cabin. Head, kitchen, V berth and 2 aft bunks. she'll do until I upgrade again to a 35' or more. I'm on the Great Lakes but looking forward to sailing the world someday. Thanks Delos Crew for getting me onward with my dream.

[@danielbuckner2167]

Why not start now? The great lakes are under represented on YT.

[@walkercustoms]

I do plan to. We are iced out yet but spring will be here soon. And I've only got some electronics to install on the new boat. I plan to video the entire adventure. Pirate Island is probably going to be my first trip, I'm not far from many islands.

[@danielbuckner2167]

Sv delos is the oldest sailing channel that I know of but certainly not the only sailing related channel. SAIL LIFE is a great channel and he's NEVER sailing but rather always working on his boat getting ready. Odd Life Crafting is another one that concentrates on the refit. Some channels like sv Basik have dried up now that the refit has been mostly done and they are just day sailing on a cat. My point is show the work getting ready too! There are lots of folks who can relate and that is what draws people in. 😁

[@walkercustoms]

I hear you, about the only thing I won't have documented is when I looked at the boat and when I went back to buy her. Electronics install and bottom paint and top polish I will document. I do watch many sailing channels as my family has deep roots in maritime history stretching from the east cost to where I live. Both on my mothers and fathers sides. And my parents got me into everything from boating to ships as a young child. Now almost 40 years since my first boat ride boating is my true passion. My first sailboat was a gift from a friend and I still have it along with my power boats and my larger sailboat. I love sailing because of the considerable less environmental impact over power boats. I'll include family history in my documentation also so hopefully many people will find it interesting. Thank you for your encouragement it helps the drive to share my own adventures!

[@walkercustoms]

Delos was only my first followed sailing channel. Now I'm subscribed to many channels.

[@acomav]

Sean correcting them all by repeating canyoning slowly. Classic Sean!

[@michaelcrowers6628]

I love how the delos mural was still standing and the rest of the entire wall was just destroyed its like delos' good luck saved that part of the wall

[@sailingpittsburgh]

That was a great design for the Delos mural on the break wall. It really stands out when viewed from a distance.

[@goodbyemr.anderson5065]

Wow man the strength of an angry ocean is breathless. I can't believe it destroyed that break water barrier like that. Just wow. My heart goes out to the the peoples of the Azores. Stay safe Delos crew, much love and respect to you guys. Cheers

[@tamara8908]

I live for the next episode of Delos. It's the only thing that truly matters to me. It's my happy place.

[@sophiainoregon8768]

So glad that Ruben was the one ending up joining the crew over the others. He is a great guy and gets along well with them all. Bet he is gonna hate leaving when it's his time.

[@dawngw26]

I am too! He's really great and actually very charismatic and interesting. I love that he was happy to get back to sailing when they were leaving Flores.

[@gigiservola142]

It is very nice that you promote the island, the people and the beauty! I hope many will, after seeing your videos, wising Flores and contribute to help the restoration. Thanks Delos!

[@martincrowe3781]

Having just lived through the worst fire storms on the east coast of Australia and seeing the destruction of that massive breakwater, it makes you realise that every now and then Mother Nature and Neptune will show you just how small and insignificant we really are compared to their power. Stay safe crew. Lots of love from down under 💖💕❤💓💙💗

The painting/hurricane sequence was really well assembled. Nicely done. The noticeable increase in production value and general quality hit so damn hard when you got to the Azores.

The videos have changed since Brian is on break, it gives it a fresh approach. Dont get me wrong, waiting for the whole family to be reunited again 💪 been following you guys since the beginning and will follow to the end.

[@londobali]

I think the presence of Ruben might have something to do with it too, bringing in some fresh angles and panning & transitions. He studied videography, or was into it?

[@user-dy2qq5wh4b]

Brian really made the experience special. Theres something unique about him and his absence makes the videos totally different. We each have preferences, it def seems a lot more silly hippy vibe.The narration lacks character. Meh. everything changes after awhile.

Ever notice when 'Canyoneering' the following days all sorts of interesting colors of bruises show up on your body? Blues and greens and purples etc..and I don't bruise easily, but it's so darn fun! Your videos are so well filmed, and edited, Brady you and Alex are becoming masters at the craft at that..another amazing skill in your arsenal.

[@cherishireland9194]

You did a banging job with the filming during the cliff jumping. I'm hoping you still had fun and it was worth it, I think it looked so amazing. You can for sure tell it's mayhem in the kitchen with the swells and your stuff flying around. Proud of you guys.

My husband has been sailing pretty much all of his life and right now we just have a little 22 foot 1971 McGregor, but a few years ago we had the opportunity to captain a 60 foot catamaran in the BVI‘s and that was amazing! We have a dream to get a bigger boat someday and spend an extended period of time in the Caribbean and then we’ll see where it goes from there! I love following your adventures and all of the footage that you capture above and below the surface is amazing! Would absolutely love to meet you all someday! I have a dream to go diving someday and the other day I was dreaming that maybe you all could teach me LOL?! I know ~fat chance out of the millions of people that follow you! We live in Baltimore Maryland, so we are very close to Annapolis ~maybe will get to the boat show sometime and meet you unless you decide to invite us out for a sail sometime! 😉My husband would make an excellent crew member!!
