It’s not for everyone! Sailing the Southern Indian Ocean- SV Delos Ep. 106

Sailing up the Wild coast! We loose sight of land as we turn east across the strong Agulhas Current, Sailing into the big Southern Indian Ocean! A rough sea unchecked by any land, and we felt it! Struggling to keep our food down Delos starts taking in water through the bow thruster and that’s not our only water leak :(
This rough weather really made us appreciate the small things in life like being able to put a glass down without it flying away or taking a shower for the first time in 7 days! This was an epic episode to make and it was so cool to work together with Kiril mixing in an awesome Kiril style of editing! Much Love to you all -Karin and the Crew!

One of the things I love about the ocean is she doesn't care about your age, accent, color of skin, or how good you think you are. She treats everyone the same regardless. Peace, love, and enjoy your weekend Delos tribe! Capt. Breeyawn.

[@benjaminschmidt2676]

Sailing SV Delos Howdy, Delos crew, from Oklahoma

[@NosiLLa258]

Sailing SV Delos I like that perspective, Brian. The convo about the boat doing the breathing for you had me giggling. Loving the new crew!

[@mikecrittenden464]

Sailing SV Delos I love this channel,best one on you tube

[@mikecrittenden464]

Sailing SV Delos damn what a beautiful video I absolutely loved it I don't want it to ever end I could watch forever.love you guys.

[@peterdentremont7296]

Mike that is why guys like you and me need to work hard and get our own boats and follow brian's lead and get out there ASAP so we can live it instead of just vicariously through Brian and the rest of the Delos team. I admit though they set a huge bar.

[@gruszkayogi]

Just recently discovered Delos here on KZbin. All I can say.... I LOVE IT. What an inspiration for having any kind of lifestyle you want!!! :) Thanks for sharing these videos.

[@wnfaknd]

that was a great mix of shots with the "Taking it easy" song.

[@dansgaming5421]

Jose Fontao yeah it was epic

[@jasonmbritt]

Best b-roll and editing I have seen on this channel yet

[@eradicator187]

Sucks it was ruined with a copyright claim.

[@KirilDobrev]

YOH those were some treacherous days on the ocean! Baptism by fire haha! Good times

[@TobyGarcia]

Just checked your channel, Kiril. Love your way of telling the story of your journeys without using words. Your fingerprints are all over these recent Delos videos. Amazing transitions and montages. Curious, did you manually pull focus at 26:04, or was a happy accident caused by auto focus?

[@wescalvert4]

Wish you guys taped every minute. Can't get enough! Wouldn't hurt being a TV series either.

[@regieendsley9750]

Robin Lee Graham is probably the reason I follow SV Delos and maybe a half dozen other boat. I was just out of highschool when I got the National Geographic issue with his first installment. I so eny all of you. All the best and keeping on pumping out videos.

[@BegToDiffah]

A perfect blend of story and A+ production! Better than anything on "TV"! Fair winds and safe travels!

[@cuzinevil1]

Wow, from 24:20 to 27:00 is some of the best editing I've ever seen. Brilliant.

[@jasonmbritt]

Best b-roll and Editing yet

[@TetovoBoy]

I don"t know how to put this together......but you guys make my life so better in so many ways.The whole thing about sailing and having adventures with all this people plus visiting and doing things that other people can only dream of makes the whole "thing" so pure and innocent. I only can wish you smooth seas,weather and very,very long journeys.... Good speed and I hope will see each other one day. Big HELLOOO from Mississauga Ontario Canada...

[@twelge15]

And Brian's engineering know how and knowlege of mechanics about seals in particular again, saves the day. I wouldn't have the slightest idea about that bow thruster seal and how to finesse a short term fix on taking on water in the open ocean. What balls dude! Then again, it's a simple loose rigging cable/old age thing. Tension the loose cable rigging so as to not push the thruster on the seal out of it's outer hull seat every time a wave hits. Sweet.

[@JoshuaWillis007]

Thank you guys for so much for making my day better. It's clearly not as much fun desk sailing on youtube, but without you guys. I wouldn't be able to experience it. You make life seem so chill and fun. Never stop what you're doing.

[@BillConnely]

Ok guys! I think this is your best video ever! I have seen them all. I am sure a wonderful experience for your guests too. To the man reading the book Dove. Robin Graham has written 3 books. Dove, The Boy Who Sailed Around The world Alone, and I think the last one was called Home Is A Sailor all are good and I have them all. 18 years ago my wife and I got the chance to take Robin and Patty to dinner. The nicest people you could ever meet. If I recall Patty was teaching and robin was doing custom woodwork. It was an honor to meet up with them. To my surprise at the time of our dinner Robin gave up sailing all together, and just wanted to live a private life in the mountains to raise their family. Can not blame them. If I recall at that time he had not ever sailed since. Truly inspiring though. I sure miss my sailboat. Safe travels to you all. Sincerely, Bill Connely

[@leighharris5825]

The quality of video has just dramatically improved! I guess it is one of the new crew and, as he appears least often, it must be Kiril. Well done, not an easy series to improve upon. Safe travels guys.

[@scarletbegonias2359]

Great presentation, guys, you've really stepped up with your film making skills. You've always put a lot of heart into it and it's appreciated. Maybe the four winds take you safely home...

[@crazyj0ranch1]

The editing and imagery have grown exponentially from day one. The narrative has become epic akin to "A Man and the Sea". The draw for me each week is magnetic. Thank you Delos for taking me with you on this adventure!

[@Drew-C-]

That "Takin it Easy" montage after smashin swellls for 5 days was epic.

[@wildaltarose]

Love Brady’s comment at 20:22. Yes nothing like a perfect conditions and champagne to celebrate.....as long as you boat stops leaking.

[@davidp8594]

Confused seas make for sporty sailing! No sleep for the wicked! Love the videos.

[@gutto192]

Guys, I don't know what are you doing, but the video editing is great, and video footage is much more dynamic. It is hypnotic.

[@matthewfensterwald1853]

I have seen every Delos episode and you guys are firing on all cylinders right now. there is nothing more exciting on TV/internet. can't wait to see the next episode. Thank you.

[@JimJocrusin]

You guys are definitely going pro with your videos! Based on the weather forecasts towards the end of this video, the next one is going to be wild! Stay safe and keep having fun! James

[@cirilciril1244]

Прекрасное видео. Эти ребята вдохнули свежую струю воздуха и подняли на новый уровень ваши видеозарисовки. Вот уже несколько лет смотрю ваш канал. Восхищен вами. Удачи

[@sailingxtremeadventures542]

100% sailing channel, way to go Delos - Thumbs up

[@dougward3554]

Brian, the Ocean has a way of paying one back for all the adventure one enjoys in her. Please be careful! Love watching the videos.

[@leeannsorensen3846]

Another killer video. Karen, Kiril, great job. You really bring the ocean alive on this one. I've never been on a sailboat and this video shows it all! I'll keep dreaming

[@placebo5466]

Loved watching you guys come up with a fix on the fly. I don't know the first thing about sailing, but I like seeing people put whatever experience they have to the test and come up with solutions. Another great video. Fair winds.

[@christinasimpson7750]

Hard passage in the Indian Ocean. You guys were tough and positive. I love that song taking it easy! What a crew you had. Thanks for sharing! -C-

[@rogermace4516]

I just loved the segment from 24m 10sec with the awesome music and even better photography, you guys just get better and better. Don't change your format your the best on YT.

[@nameless4284]

I dont know what it is about S/V Delos Videos I like so much more than all the other sailing channels on youtube. I am admittedly spoiled by production quality now but I still like your old videos too, whatever it is as long as you keep making videos I'll keep watching and enjoying every moment!

[@davexjs5889]

The new crew seems to be settling in quite well don't forget they had some big boots to fill love the adventures love you all PS i'm new and still catching up with the episodes.

[@followtheboat]

[Liz] One day a messy saltwater leak through the bow thruster, the next day perfect conditions: that's sailing. Spirits rise and fall like the waves.

[@darrenmoorehead]

followtheboat I love how close the KZbin sailing community is! Can't wait to get my own and join in the fun. I love FTB and Delos.

[@scottcraig4091]

darrenmoorehead where ya from NS maby ?

[@wesleyddavies]

I'm always a fan of your journey and your positive outlook! Envy!

[@darrelwillman3158]

Wow, you guys are really getting the hang of this video editing! That music montage 24:00-28:00 was VERY polished, extremely well done. Color me impressed -- and envious! Nice, nice episode.

[@chrismulvey49]

Now years later I don't hear any music, must have had music right issues

[@roddog24]

I love seeing the progression you and the crew has made. Your videos have changed soooo much since the beginning. I feel like I'm watching a professionally filmed/produced/edited weekly show now. And I love the opening music. Look forward to many more of these videos!

[@davidlappleby]

Already a great, standout video, then the artistry during "taking it easy" takes it to a whole new level.

[@52rajesh]

Typical sunrise on coast of indian ocean Africa I use to experience the same warm colours when jogging in Dar-es-sallam on Banda beach .Guys good luck have fun and safe journey. Fan from India, bombay [Born and brought up in Tanzania.at the colonial time] I have started watching all your episodes to fulfil my traveling love.

[@wildaltarose]

For some reason I am not surprised to see Carmen blowing bubbles....it suits her.

[@Bravo21]

You can never beat mother nature or Father Sea ... the best you an do is get along.

[@JonDavidCroel]

I can see there is some MAJOR editing talent in this crew! I love the video guys!

[@seankelley478]

Ive watched every ep. This was the best produced one so far. Congratulations on your growth as people, sailors, and filmmakers.

[@iaingray36]

Great video. Good music and good humour but IMHO the reason your the best is your still primarily a video about sailing showing the reality of yacht cruising with all the challenges it presents. Well done!

[@AndTheCorrectAnswerIs]

Loved the editing even more than usual. Your videos are always top notch. Easily among the best on KZbin. Its so refreshing to see a "reality" show that is ACTUAL reality. Its like a mini-vacation every Friday. Thanks Delos Crew!

[@kunstmol]

Top Tip! when wringing out your washing on board, center the item around a shroud , grab the ends together and twist.

[@ColinCren]

You guys do such a good job solving your problems. GJ with the bow thruster!

[@michaelprather6486]

Looks like the new crew is shaping up rather nicely

[@bluewaterdreamin5034]

The editing skills of Karin and Kiril are showing up already. Epic montage near the end. You guys just keep getting better all the time! Great to see you back on the ocean again.

[@pathfindergeorgia1117]

I must say it's nice to see some public display of affection guys. Keep it up it's nice to see.

[@What_If_We_Tried]

Really like the logbook notations.

[@qdav5]

My favorite Delos crew!

[@patgratman]

a durban boy missing this type of sailing!!! both sides of Madagascar...a unique sailing adventure for sv delos.

[@kennovakowski1246]

Great video love your new style of sharing your story. The time and effort you put into making your videos is outstanding. Great job. Can't wait for the next one. Your Canadian viewers🇨🇦🇨🇦👏🏼👍🏻🍻🍻🍻

[@colonialroofingofnorthcaro441]

My favorite episode it the pics and the song taking it easy you could almost see yourself there, feel the sun on you, it's just a great segment of the shots and song fav by far I look this episode up all the time just to watch that one part

[@trevorbyron9448]

What a magical dream sailing is...

[@parachute84]

You guys continue to wow the senses! Amazing journey so far. I feeling like I'm with you all there on Delos. Thanks so much sharing your wonderful experiences Gods speed....

[@KaimanaAdventures]

Yeah Delos! Another great episode. We love open ocean crossings. No better way to test yourself and your vessel. Keep up the good work!. Aloha, Sailing Kaimana

[@1111MANA]

You guys n girls are just killing it,excellent production,great to watch.New crew are also great!

[@johnconrad9781]

For your bow thruster leak in the future - get a fabricator to make you a circular flange with a hinge pin clam to fit the dimensions of our shaft with some grub-screw bolts onto the shaft then put some serious adhesive / silicone rubber/ gasket expansion fire seal or something in there to push it back on the leak. much love from NZL

[@ibisum]

An excellent episode, and wonderful to see the new crew getting their bellies aligned. :) Looking forward to the inevitable wonder that is the other side of all this - white beaches, perfect days, and the crew as tight as ever. Rock on SV Delos, you're a regular delight for us here in land-locked Austria ..

[@k34561]

I grew up in high school where "Dove" was a class reading book. It was a seaside community on peninsula with a whaling history. I distinctly recall a lot of the dangers. For example unknown weather, falling overboard. Navigation problems with sextants. Sextants are accurate to a less then a mile in good conditions. Add a storm where you can't take a reading for several days. Then you must navigate by dead reconning with the compass. You could easily miss a pacific island. -Kurt

[@kimdrp]

Guys!last time I saw a video on your channel was 3 months ago. And today, I saw this one. I must say your video skills have increased a lot. They are much more appealing than the first ones. Specially in minute 25. Congrats to your media crew members! You are doing great job!

[@ianBeer123]

I think I'm going to like the new crew just fine guys, and I like the bit of a change-up in style every now and then too. :)

[@hjalmar4president]

I like the logbook entries....it's fun. The new editing style (starts at 24:10) is really, really good. Way to go!

[@RealWorldEvent]

I have watched 90% of your vids. awesome , BUT this music video segment KILLS IT !I COULD WATCH YOUR MUSIC VIDEOS ALL DAY EVERY DAY

[@deanmoore4053]

Enjoy the trip, can't wait for the next episode and the bow thruster issue is fixed. God Speed and may the wind be at your stern

[@Luluita17]

Taking it Easy.... Just added to my summer playlist!!

[@luuk8165]

love it how you have those parts with just music and sailing. They are filmed very nice (just like the rest)

[@chriswild2574]

This is one of the best sailing video's I seen to date. Middle section was beautiful filmed guys! Great combination of the great, bad and the ugly of sailing.

[@sodthelotayou3712]

my weekly fix,love it! Love the new crew and the difference they're making. My only criticism.......videos should be twice as long Safe sailing to you all

[@reckemroysrc3764]

now. that's sailing fair winds for the DELOS 😎😎😎

[@amonshumate4957]

After all this time, I still love Carmen.

[@JDS11ify]

I have followed you brothers and crew since about half way westbound across the Indian Ocean. The absolute best sailing video I have ever seen, and that includes any 'professional' movie. Great boat, good crew and great sailing. Terrific coverage of each and every topic, as it comes up. I'm doing chronological order so the story goes on. Good luck and good sailing.

[@JDS11ify]

BTW … this is March 2019.

[@danjackson4672]

Hey guys, another great video as usual! I just realized today that over the years that I have been watching your stuff you are the only chanel that I watch "long form" content from that can keep me engaged and entertained. Keep up the great work! Cheers from Toronto, Canada

[@tobiasburen8340]

I miss the old crew members, but I like the new ones too. New experience with new people is an interesting thing. Btw: nice new nautical instruments. I'm more and more interested in going sailing too. Traveling is the best method to find himself I think. And I miss it so much! Anytime a good ride and health and peace ❤️

[@mzlittle]

South I/O.....Bold sailing, unpredictable weather. So glad we get to share the uncertainty of blue water sailing since some of us are land locked, thanks guys!

[@cha53tafari]

These new episodes are amazing

[@tomahawkmatt6659]

New crew is coming along nicely. You will make salty sailors out of them in no time.

[@mayhemmayo]

Great to see how the new crew does. enjoying your adventure. fair winds

[@jhay-jhayferreras3907]

[@am6589]

Just had to say thanks again. Gotta love Delos.:)

[@labrat85]

Look at the new electronics!! New canvas? I can't wait for boat upgrade video or videos!! great job as always.

[@sapper1189]

Loving the new videos, edits and style of shooting are awesome! I loved the previous crew and was not sure how this was going to go but it's been amazing, thanks for the vids they are amazing!

[@prestondwhite]

Warming up to the new crew. Petting a moth and it turned into a puppy and that is that. lol You guys are awesome.

[@MrMikemary]

Thank you so much for always sharing your journey, I just get lost in your amazing videos, just amazing.

[@noel3070]

Yup REALLY COOL stuff, agree with all of the below, I've been watchin all of these vids and said nothing but finally been flushed out of silence, it just keeps getting better!!!

[@talon4x4]

My Saturday morning ritual, coffee and the new Delos vid. It kills me to wait until Saturday to watch but the weekdays are too hectic to sit and enjoy these masterpieces. I absolutely loved the mix of both editing styles in this video. Just perfect!

[@prereed]

Voice over music and ambient made for comprehension difficulty. What an amazing journey. Thanks for sharing.

[@RomboutVersluijs]

Wow the person doing the shootings in this epi sure did epic work, also the editing makes watching this really great!

[@todloeffelholz5815]

Im liking the new crew addition

[@60613twr]

Everyday is not a dance party! I like the more realistic rhythm of life. Thank you Guy's. I'm winkinking at you. Haha

[@larrylittleton8702]

Thanks for adding the song lyrics to the captions...enhanced your video another notch up!

[@brucecunningham7511]

Wow what an intro for your new crew. That weather would sort the best of us. Stay safe 😎

[@shellysizemore9398]

Love, love, love you Delos crew, great video

[@KCTroyer]

Wow. So many comments. so much love in your Sails. Looks like the pain you go through together is what brings you closer and makes the destination so much more enjoyable. We're with you.

[@sherbornecars4064]

lekker one, the new crew are buzzing into sailing life.

[@rdalecki1]

This was your best video yet. You really caught the essence of sailing in the open ocean. Love the way Delos cuts through the water. Could watch those shots for hours.

[@cindymuise4380]

The videos are awesome. I feel like I have sailed around the world. Thanks Delos

[@trvltime1]

You guys are killing it!

[@outoftheboxchannel8112]

You like it!!! I like it a lot!!! The brian face expression!😁😁
