Life Lately… A Rescue at Sea and Saying Goodbye 🥺 Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 426

We're faced with a rather unexpected rescue at sea unlike anything we've done before, and we continue to explore the incomparable Marquesas Islands. It had been well over a month since we left Mexico, and the time had absolutely flown by. We knew that this moment would come, but we couldn't believe it was already here...the time to say goodbye to one of our beloved crew members. After spending weeks at sea together, the bonds we formed on our Pacific Crossing were so intense. Our life as a little family of 5 had felt so natural and easy, and now that one of us has to go back to "real life" it feels like the end of a very special chapter on Delos. But the only constant in the life of a sailor is change, and we continue on to find one of our favorite anchorages. We find a little beach shack that we turn into a hair salon, and we take full advantage of the unlimited coconut supply.

I've been sailing along with you guys for 12 years now. I can't thank you enough for taking us along to all the crazy, beautiful places! Thank you, Delos!

[@patriciamorris670]

Place stop using usung God's name in vain.. It's oh my God, and God, have you researched what using God's name in vain is all about

[@yamancakiroglu]

Hear, hear, I've been with them shorter than you, precisely since Sierra's birth, but I watched most of the old episodes, and boy do I love them, I've also had the pleasure of receiving a very nice e-mail from Brian, so I wish them fair winds and following seas for many years to come ;)

[@dealbreakerc]

​@@patriciamorris670oh no, someone used your imaginary sky daddy's name. Quit being delusional.

[@kf29349]

Connor will be missed by viewers and crew alike. Great personality, great humor. My favorite moment was him helping Brian catch the tuna. Also his reaction playing soccer with the kids.

[@sharonlabrecque6084]

Sierra saying woohoo at the end of the video cracks me up every time. She is growing up so fast.

[@shellybeau2006]

​@trevorsmith7753 Are you dissing Sierra? That's completely inappropriate.

[@joecat101]

Word for word I said that. The Nuggs is golden.

[@jsjs6751]

@trevorsmith7753 What's that...? Don't forget YT is full of subliminal stimuli... including harmful ones?

[@XBradTC]

Every time.

[@aaronpowell4625]

​@trevorsmith7753 yo, that "wahoo!" Was recorded when she was like 2. Get a life.

[@Dan6erous]

Connor was such a gentleman, and his sincere appreciation for so many moments was refreshing.

[@jsjs6751]

"Was" ? I'm sure he still is 😁

[@user-oi2bg9ni9w]

congrats on 13 years. I started watching in my 40s and now i'm 60 still watching.

[@darling4713]

You guys are a true inspiration for me. 5 years ago I stumbled on your channel and instantly thought I want to know what it would be like to sail to remote locations by boat. I quickly learned how to crew on someone's boat and began a new adventure. I bought a one way ticket to Tahiti and sailed around the South Pacific crewing on a 40ft catamaran gaining 2500 nm and even made history by being the first African American to set foot on an island, Palmerston Cook Islands ever. I owe this all to you. Watching you now sail in the same place brings me so much joy. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Continue to inspire and maybe we'll meet each other one day.

[@jasonpacific5661]

Big Congratulations to you brother 👊🎯 now you are living the magical life !

[@staymad7206]

that is badass dude

[@darling4713]

I'm a woman, a black woman

[@teddedios991]

Thanks guys, for helping the poor turtle at least a big burden us dislodged...

[@daledeonarine9811]

Over the years ,looking at the channel ,i think this is the best..

[@stefan.5987]

Connor was such a good sport, hopefully we'll see him again. Saying goodbye is the end and a start at the same time. Awesome video Delos crew. Until next time and good luck. 🤟👍

[@jenn6838]

Your journey is such an inspiration. Thanks to ALL the Delos crew for making these videos and allowing us land-locked, motion-sick, sea lovers to explore with you. Congratulations on 13 years! I found you only 4 years ago and it was amazing to watch your journey from the beginning. Keep it up and I'm sure Connor will be back next time Delos needs some major TLC.

[@Lana_Warwick]

Baby face @2:40, 10min later it's all back. What an amazing Jurassic Island looking place Hiva Oa is, defiantly a bucket list.

[@tech1m502]

Connor is such a cool dude, a real happy guy

[@rustycomer8502]

Connor you’re a legend my man!!! Hurry up and start your own KZbin channel ! 👍

[@JoseMariaOliveira]

Stuck in a windpark substation in the middle of North Sea, with some time without work, I was watching this fabulous episode in the right setting. The problem is that goodbyes always make me cry. Oops, let me look away before someone notices. It is surely a sad moment to see the "Sea Dog" fly away. I envy his good mood and multiple abilities. What a man! Delos seems to be able to summon the best in each of her crew member. Magic boat!

[@anabrochado7272]

Same energy frequencies. They attract themselves 😊

[@GeorgeMinton-jb8ky]

You guys are KZbin Movie Stars. Happy 13 years on KZbin. I watched about 12 years worth of your videos last year and have been following ever since.

[@alphaintelligent]

that banana smoothie move was hilarious, lol. You got jacked Brian!

[@williammacpherson2906]

I started in the beginning and have loved every change. True family story, and I love every minute, even though your brother and his wife are gone, but I watch their channel too ❤❤😂😂😂

[@Bauchfalte]

Seeing Delos roll at anchor by swell from beside I thought you might be interested in a very easy way to turn every boat at anchor or buoy into the wave, so the rolling stops immediately and without any force. If you already know it, take it as a good advice to all of your followers: Tie a line to your anchor chain right in front of your bow. Bring it along the outside of your boat very loosely to a cleat at the stern of your boat. Then let more anchor chain go down. Your boat will turn by it self and you can stop it in any position you want. The boat lies in a very stabil triangle from chain and line. I often turned my boat that way to get fresh wind from behind to cool my boat and have a much cooler cockpit or to turne the cockpit into the shadow. To turn it back, just haul in chain by anchorspill.

[@pattithompson1395]

Just saw this for the first time, don't know how i missed it, it is a stunning Delos delight, great arcing stories!

[@reidadams4277]

It's really something following your travels, but what i find to be the most amazing is Sierra's childhood. Maybe others have grown up on the open sea but the numbers must be very low. She starts her morning going for a mile swim with her dad. Wish i could live long enough to see her own sailing vlog as an adult. Unique.

[@Anderslisa90]

A fantastic place you have sailed to. Now with 13 years of sailing and experience in beautiful places, you know when you've reached a top 10 place. You also know that when you sail from there, it will not be a top 10 place. Aren't you tempted to stay then? At least longer than usual. Or do you feel compelled to sail further to get content for your videos? Hannah was missing in this video, because she's still part of the crew right? It felt like she wasn't with you? But she was, right? Sad that Connors left the boat, a super guy. Looking forward to the next video. 👍😎⛵️⛵️🍷🍾❤️💥

[@mdv2043]

Been here with you guys since the beginning. Man time flys.

[@bubbagail7450]

13 years, unreal. When i first started following these two knuckleheads I thought well this won't last long. Was I ever wrong? And so glad I was. It's been a blast watching you two grow up, go each others way and look at you both now. Amazing. Congrats guys. And never forget if it wasn't for Kazza, Blue, Nuggets and Sharky you two would only be a couple of Salty Bum's, LOL Take care.

[@SkyBear-gn7ny]

That was Awesome. Praise you and your Lady.

[@chuckarrand4281]

Thank you for taking me along all these years. You are an inspiration to many.

[@robertwhittaker6999]

Amazing 🐢 , Brian that deserves a few beers. Take care be safe. 💚 first time I’ve heard Kazaa swear 😂 13 years wow I’ve been following for 5/6 years.

[@codystout5353]

This is what I look forward to Friday for

[@beaums1]

I have followed you for at least 10 years and I must say that every video has taught me something about sailing plus how big this world is.

[@andrewdavisca]

Woohoo! Thank you C-dog! Great video

[@SazeedRaihan]

"Sending love and strength to the Delos crew during this emotional time. Your resilience and storytelling are truly inspiring! 🥺⛵"

[@DonovanSmith79]

It's been so fun watching the growth and evolution of the channel over all these years. Thanks again for all the fun and motivation to get out and explore this amazing world.

[@malcolmharvey397]

You three are an inspiration to us all. I have been a Lifeboat crew man for 46 years and can fully feel your love of this wonderful world.

[@garygerard4290]

Thank you Brian for helping the turtle. I can tell you he was Very happy I can tell a lot about people by how they treat my animals - God

[@MrTomherzog]

Great thumbnail, Brian and Kazza! Brian is in Michelangelo-esque pose evocative of God reaching out to Adam's hand.

[@douglassmith2055]

A slice of paradise for every delos viewer. Thank you delos and Connor on the soccer field my favorite.

[@fulltimber]

Brian, you look at least 15 years younger. Nice work dude

[@d.b.cooper6112]

Thanks for 13 yrs of knowledgeable, adventurous, funny & entertaining content guys.

[@cliffdavis5244]

Bummer about the turtle😢 but kudos for trying to save it❤

[@Terry10330]

love these video's , living my dream life, enjoy every episode, thanks for allowing us to join in on your adventures

[@dennisolive4741]

It would be great to see more catch and cook video's. Where are the young coconuts with spoon meat? Have you learned how to make your own fresh coconut milk? Those islands look so beautiful. Are they independent or colonized by the Frenchies? Lots of questions I know, but good ones!

[@sergest-pierre6160]

Congratulation for 13 years. I probably subscribe shortly after you upload your first video. Still one of best if not the best sailing channel. Thank you.

[@ericreinoehl4350]

Another awsome look into the Delos world. Thanks again

[@bradstone3160]

Btw, you can hold the 🐢 steady by grabbing the top of the shell behind the head (it will feel like your fingers are digging into the neck skin) and at the tail firmly. A second person could then work on removing material. If they are small enough you can even remove them from the water altogether using that method. It also prevents them from slapping the crap out of you or catching you with their nails.

[@donzie13]

Happy Delos anniversary! Loved the video. My husband and I were talking about how many years have we been following and watching you all. At least 8 years. Thank you for the wonderful videos!

[@David_Quinn_Photography]

been following for 3 years and watched some of the older crew its been an amzing series of events. cheers to 13 down and praying for many more to come.

[@MrDrRun]

Five years... Have I followed you. My first episode was when you guys almost got robbed on your dinghy. Since then I've been following you guys mentally, in a good way :) I've re-watched your videos twice and want to tell you that you are absolutely incredible people! And by that I mean all the people who also sailed with you! You have something that no other sailing channel has - your production and authenticity is just out of this world! Love you and what you do so much! (My Swedish spelling included ;))

[@amberbamber.]

Happy 13 years 🥳 Thank you so much for sharing with us! Brian and Sierra editing at the end was so cute ❤ We'll miss you Conner!

[@aaykhokar8467]

That reminds me, I am following you for last 13 years. Happy Birthday of SV Delos. Stay Blessed.

[@stopbiggovernment]

Getting the husk off coconuts. Smash the pointy tip of the cocunut on a rock until the husk starts splitting in multiple places. That loosens the husk from the shell. Even a little boy less than 9 years old can tear that husk off the shell. Get rid of the spike. I learned this as a son of a missionary at the ELWA Mission Station in 1960's Liberia Africa from my Liberian playmates.

[@TheNick1629]

Sail Boat Family Royalty....not every sail boat family is the same....Brian isa genius.....

[@AshleyRobjohns]

Happy birthday SV Delos.

[@PRINCESSDREAMYLYN]

Thank you for helping the turtle the best you could. Truly shows you have big hearts. Thanks for sharing. ♥much love♥

[@rjaquaponics9266]

You earned it! YT is blessed by your content!

[@Whitboxphotohk]

Big love Delos Crew!

[@bigjim3644]

You guys are awesome. Thanks for the videos. 😊

[@neilmcnicol6506]

It will be no time, till you get 1,000,000 subscribers...keep up the great vid's...best wishes to all.

[@anabrochado7272]

Another great one from you guys. Always sad to see crew leave. A big shout out to Connor, a Hella decent human being. It has been a pleasure "having" you on board.😊

[@OrcaMichelle]

Thank you for helping the turtle. In the future should this happen again, bring the turtle onboard to remove the entanglements. Humans are definitely the most dangerous predators on planet earth.

[@sanjeevansinha7023]

that drone footage was amazing

[@williesful]

Stunning. Congratulations on the 13 years and thank you for the work involved and showing us some of the worlds truely beautiful places.

[@MARKLINMAN1]

I would have tried to swim it over to your boat and then went from there. Great Job either way, THANK YOU for saving that BEAUTIFUL Turtle.

[@Siantar_Cules]

Happy Birthday SV Delos..💜⛵

[@daledeonarine9811]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ,DELLOS ,TRIBE..FROM DALE..

[@shayleenjoubert2008]

We been with you since 2014. We love you❤. Thank you for sharing your life and travels and escapades with us❤ South Africa

[@cfoster6548]

Connor was possibly my favourite crew member you’ve ever had on Delos. Seems like a seriously sound bloke. Hopefully he’ll be able to join you again sometime.

[@choppercos508]

Haven't watched for 13 years, but did go back to the beginning and saw all the videos up to today👍

[@justincase5272]

Good rescue. You almost certainly saved his life. Be thinking about next time, how you could secure the turtle well enough to give you the time to remove all impediments.

[@erinfettig3134]

Ah thanks for the mini virtual escape!

[@cliffdavis5244]

Wow, that chocolate coconut shake looks so good❤🎉

[@burckindundaralp4634]

This episode's intro is definitely great!

[@odhinnsrunes]

Amazing episode! Such awesome experiences in your show. I really hope that turtle does ok.

[@dtemplman7816]

We love our sailing bag thank you it’s awesome

[@wholesomeengraving]

I travelled to French Polynesia before... it was years ago, but to this day, I am still sad I had to leave. What a beautiful place!

[@stevechampion7938]

What a beautiful anchorage!!!

[@patrickjames1080]

Brilllllliant Delos - thanks for sharing ⛵️ 👍

[@chrisellington6256]

Thanks for sharing you're journey! I've been watching since when you only had about 10 pics on the wall. Videos have gotten so much better over the years.

[@stevepeters4583]

Hey some of us are sailors also and love the boat you're on. Maybe make us a video on some of the rig set up that you have and use. When you use what and how you use it.

[@ianscott3180]

I am an old man now and have sailed since the 1960's. As a boy we were taught to put nothing overboard that did not sink unless it was vegetable. Things have rightly improved in terms of knowledge about what should go over the side. Sadly, actions have not. The amount of filth I sail through now is heartbreaking. Well done on the turtle rescue, I hope he makes it. I hope your videos at least educate a few to the wonders of the oceans that we need to survive.

[@Minecraft-gw1jv]

❤️❤️❤️❤️ From Germany. Thanks for living the Dream for us all…

[@TheHoowee]

Little Nugget is such a BEAUTIFUL LITTLE GIRL!!! Love you guys! Be safe out there!❤

[@MrPaulcm1]

Well done Brian on rescuing that turtle. Looking younger without the beard man. Connor was a great crew member. 13 years wow, congrats. Love the vlog :)

[@dennispatrick4999]

What spectacular islands. Bye, Connor. Great guy. Positive energy. Congratulations on 13 yrs. I can't believe I have been watching almost that entire time. Pre-Kasia in fact. See you next week.

[@jb9090]

Sea dog… you’re a good dude 👍🏻

[@richardmudafort800]

We have been there all & each video for the last 13 yrs 🇵🇷🇺🇸🎉🎊🎂👏🏼👏🏼👍👌🏻🌴

[@brettbulmer2168]

Well done! Your trip/lives just keep getting better. Positivity is what the world needs to embrace. Great example here.

[@MrFroglips69]

You have found paradise once again. Post card perfect; so groovy and beautiful. Brian you're a legend trying to save that turtle. So sad to see Connor have to go. Such a cool dude. Stay safe and stay groovy.

[@davidcheca4646]

[@kcouture77]

Hi Delos! We have loved watching you and your adventures! We also fall in love with the quality of your production. Would you share with us what camera you've been using and what type of drone? Thank you so much!

[@svbelafonte5854]

Hold up...video starts and I'm all like where is Brian's Beard! lol Good job saving the turtle...loving these videos!

[@robplotts9412]

I've been here for a long time watching you guys and your out of this world life style. And I plan on watching for as long as you two keep up the great vids . I'm a big fan of the underwater filming . Good solid content. Stay safe

[@heartsofgoldenrod]

Sorry to hear you got bit! Thanks for saving the little guy. ❤

[@mikewoodley8767]

If SV Delos could find a knife maker that makes a C shaped line cutter that is sharp only on the inside and sharper as slides along. A bit of a tongue in front to get under lines with nothing sharp at the front. This would be safer and quicker. A great Merch addition. Yachts worldwide could keep them board. Beaches could have them handy. Could be an affiliate marketing arrangement.

[@ruthlong6876]

Congratulations on13 years I'm so glad I started watching your channel. It always takes me away right when I need it the most.thank you guys for sharing.sometimes I live my life vicariously through you guys 👍 what a beautiful place on that beach 🌴.well til next time👍🙏❤😎ciao ciao.much love from upland Pennsylvania USA❤
