Conor's tattoo is amazing!! (and so is this video). Thanks Delos!

[@svdelos]

Thanks so much Elsie!

[@Irishman_and_a_Dog]

was super cool to see Lisa and her reaction while working on the vid - we need more of interaction with editors this way :=)

[@stony7827]

👍👍👍👍👋👋

[@svdelos]

Gotta love a good Leesir cameo!!!

[@bigcountry9457]

Facts! I was gonna mention the same thing.

[@roberthandlon1877]

That nugget woohoo in the outro gets me every time. Unbelievably cool crossing and first stop, living vicariously through you guys. Best entertainment ever, thanks

[@svdelos]

Woohoo 🙌

[@mikeh720]

there is no humanly possibly way to *not* smile at her "woohoo!"

[@TheOnlyJuann]

This Episode had such a great start with the unfamiliar smiling face it instantly set the tone for the whole video: SMILES. I also loved the focus Connor got this episode and to hear him talk about his passage throughout and now being back on land in a spraling Oasis was AWESOME. His tattoo looks fantastic and you (Kazza/Brian) have done a great job of capturing such beautiful moments with your CREW. What beautiful TRIBE Delos is!

[@scotverdin9401]

Hi Lisa, Hi Kiril! sometimes we forget how much you do to bring Delos to us! Much love!

[@51marshmellow]

Thank you Delos crew for making real my dreams after reading Thor Heyerdahl's Kon-Tiki when I was a kid about fifteen years after he made the Kon-Tiki Expedition, I read Kon-Tiki , was instantly hooked and read the rest of his books. You captured both villages so beautifully. I may start to read his books all over again. And The Nugget Cam was back. She is so good! What a magnificent area and lovely helpful residents. Conor's tattoo is perfect (I would have wanted to stay knocked out during the rest of the ordeal)! What memories you share all together. Perfect.💖

[@svdelos]

Love Kon-Tiki, that was one of the books that I read for inspiration when I first started preparing to sail away! We actually visit the island where they made landfall in the Tuamotus (coming soon!). Thanks so much for the kind words and stoked you enjoyed the video!

[@paulmckinnon8817]

You should read Thor Heyerdahl book called Fatu Hiva, You won"t be disappointed,

[@JasonEdelman66]

these types of episodes get me so emotional.. had me weeping.. from the kids playing soccer, then dinner and Connors tattoo and explanation. Far Winds Delos

[@svdelos]

Definitely a powerful place, such a beautiful experience so happy you could share it with us :)

[@TheSioutdoors]

I know this sounds insane but I feel a very strong connection to the ocean, growing up in middle America you wouldn’t think that would be the case. We visited Florida almost 20 years ago with my wife and kids and it was the first time I had even seen the ocean. Diving in through the waves made me feel like a kid again and it felt like home. The moment when Capt. jumped in brought me back to that day and i got that same feeling I did almost 20 years ago. Completely random and not expected it hit me like a truck. I’m glad no one is around because now I’m crying and all emotional. From a 46 year old child, thanks for what you do.

[@chriszanf]

That's because you're a reincarnated seahorse!

[@annieh.5049]

i love the ocean too, but growing up on the east coast i've grown up around the ocean & on boats. the shots of them swimming were amazing to see. & the shots of the waves, with no land around, almost brought me to tears as well lol

[@Stevos_HookedonRods4844]

I absolutely loved this Episode, from the soccer, the scenery, timelapse vid is Spectacular, dinner, the waterfall & rainforests especially at the rock cove & Connors Tattoo. Lets not forget Nugget Cam Such a Beautiful place Blessed 💖 🙏

[@artoljr809]

So happy to see Lisa. I hope to see you on Delos soon.

[@BOARDMAN16456]

CONNERS TATTO IS A REAL BELTER,, RESPECT TO ALL YOUS ,, WHAT A LIFE TROOPS,,~#SCOTLAND

[@meadmaker4525]

That place is just magical. Imagine how peaceful it would be to live there. The scenery is like something out of a fairy tale. Connor's tattoo came out really good. I like the story telling in it. Eight hours is too long to sit for something like that, but I'm assuming they took a break for a while when he was unconscious. LOL.

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

A real tattoo .... Is a fine thing .. That is truly a wondrous place. 💚🌅🏞️🏝️ Nuggs football skills are impressive for a toddler who lives 80% on a boat .😂

[@michaelmcroberts4398]

The sunset from the soccer field is simply magic! Bet it was such an incredible experience!!! I have always found the Pacific Islands to have the most living caring culture, such ties to family and community too! Thanks once again for the incredible weekly positivity and adventure!!!

[@svdelos]

The camera didn't do it justice either, such a special moment!

[@richardmikesell1335]

I liked that you were looking up old friends, It will be neat when you meet one of them.

[@danfadden]

This has got to be one of your top 10 best episodes on your entire channel and dare I say better than all the other sailing channels. The photography and story telling was AMAZING! I know it’s hard to get photos of the stars but you guys nailed it! I’ve never really been into tattoos (don’t have any) but after making that passage and ending up in a virtual paradise, I’d be right next to Connor getting a tattoo as well. And the one he got tells a story and is awesome, especially for the first one. They say that scars and tattoos usually have a good story behind them and this is no exception! Great job guys. Thank you for taking us along! Fair winds!

[@lindsey3261]

I love your rash guard shirts! I bought one for myself a few years ago when they first came out. I loved it so much, I bought my husband and sons one for Christmas last year. They are our favorites by far, and we've tried all brands out there. Thank you for bringing those to your subscribers!

[@trcpath]

Connor! Don’t sweat it. With over 40 hours on my back and a j-class 1/2 sleeve, I too passed out. Getting a single letter on my finger of all things. I love your 1st tatt, it’s Totally Awesome!!!

[@russcorbin1766]

Thanks for taking us on your trip.

[@hockeydeemon]

Conor's tattoo is legit, amazing islands and video.

[@howardwhite9773]

Thanks for the Lisa cameo!!!

[@peterdubya1788]

Awesome watch guys!!! I feel I'm hitching a ride with you all, it's always good to see each of you.

[@mcd858]

Hi @HopfLisa! we miss you:)

[@SeanHendy]

I can't remember which channel it was, but it was about 10-15 years ago, they arrived in either Hiva Oa, or Fatu Hiva, but the locals were practicing traditional dance in a village hall. It was an amazing privilege to see it, considering not many people make it to that part of the world given how remote it is.

[@richb313]

The entire video is beautiful and really captures the culture and generosity of the people who live there. Looking forward to more.

[@svdelos]

Thanks Rich, so glad you enjoyed this one :)

[@ldirk58601]

Amazing Tattoo!! So good to see Lisas face.

[@svdelos]

Leeeeesirrr!!!!

[@alleycat5472]

What a great vid. Conner is not gone yet for us, but he will be missed. :)

[@heartsofgoldenrod]

Been a few months since I caught up with one of your videos, and am so amazed at how quickly Nugget is growing! She talks too now! 😮 But what got me the most was when I first saw Connor talking to the camera at the soccer field and had to rewind because I didn’t realize you picked up a male to help out, and he *really* resembles Brian a lot from when he was younger. For a minute I thought Brian must’ve found the fountain of youth, or was managing an exceptionally good diet and exercise routine that ages people backwards. 😅

[@charonstyxferryman]

This in-video ad was very helpful and appreciated (Yeah, incredible that I would ever consider writing that). ... because : I has a project: A boat with thin-film solar panels (like those in this video) for cruising in the European waterways. I'm going to use them for electric propulsion as well as the hotel-load. I'm going to use MTTP-micro-inverters, i.e. they make 220 VAC@50 Hz, and are grid-tieing, meaning that they follow the frequency to the grid they are connected to. Using 220 VAC@50 Hz is very useful, because all the fairly cheap COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) stuff one can buy for the boat.

[@marklapierre5629]

Woo Hoo! what a beautiful island. Thanks for sharing a place I will probably never have the opportunity to visit in person.

[@amyblair699]

I loved seeing Sierra helping out with the solar panel sponsor section!! You could tell she was into it!!

[@rodneyjaynes2485]

Delos, Brian and Kaza, embody everything that I cherish and believe in. Exploration, immersing in the local culture, and learning new things. The scenery is an added benefit, not to mention the way you get to where you are! This is why I love this channel so much! My life took a wrong turn years ago, wrong turn is not an accurate term, I entered the Navy and spent the next 20 years serving with the Marines and visiting many places. I can only wonder at what experiences I could have had if I hadn't done that! You, Delos and crew, are living my dream.

[@cliffdavis5244]

It’s Friday..another SV Delos video❤🎉

[@soloflight75]

Please, bury me there... Preferably after I have seen it while alive. Oh how I envy you guys. Keep living the dream and thanks for sharing it with us. ❤

[@MizzAugust7]

Dont feel bad, the same thing happened to me when I got a very small tattoo. My blood pressure dropped & got a cold sweat & was very limp & dizzy. He stopped then finished when I got better. Its called our Reflex Syncope. Its just how some of our bodies react to feeling what it perceives as trauma.

[@danstevens5782]

Beautiful place guess the sail was worth it STAY SAFE & HAVE FUN

[@africansafariexperts1499]

Well done Connor!!! Stunning tat man. Thats an incredible reminder of an epic voyage you'll never forget.

[@angryderf3020]

Leesir! So awesome to see your smiling face! Connor’s reaction to the island was great. Cool tat! Loved this ep.

[@stimpsonjcat67]

OMG the Leesir PIP! We miss you!

[@holodeckdragon8876]

thnx for sharing the joy guys! loved the nugget cam. Felt like I was drunk!

[@jramsey9690]

I must say, this was one of your better episodes. Loved the story in the tattoo. Superb!

[@hbrws813]

My Friday is not complete until I watch your video! Wow, what a beautiful jungle island!! Thanks for taking us along on your adventures.

[@svdelos]

So happy to be a part of your Friday ritual!

[@chrisoh6627]

These videos are a pleasure to watch ❤

[@reubenlankshear1114]

One of best episodes ever! So want to be there in French Polynesia.

[@DYoung-vt8pq]

Beautiful island! Thanks 4 sharing. Safe travels ❤️

[@shawnmoote4466]

Great pair of Merrells. I have been wearing the same shoe for over 30 years now.

[@felipepuerto4713]

That was one amazing soccer field, the best one on planet earth. Fact

[@marksmith566]

What a beautiful place, I’m not a tattoo guy but that tattoo Conor got 👌

[@brianalbern9373]

The nugget has grown so much over the years. What a perfect little girl. I love you guys!!!!

[@donnawarmouth9329]

That place is so beautiful!!!! Awesome tattoo Conner

[@csmith785]

The tattoo turned out fantastic!

[@ferociousfil5747]

That is a kick a$$ tattoo ! With a great story!

[@Knee-ko]

Having done one or two laps around the block (and maybe it's the editing)........but I don't think I've ever seen anyone on this planet constantly smiling so much as Hannah. 😁😁😁😁

[@svdelos]

Shes a ball of sunshine for sure 🥰🥰🥰

[@RepomanFPV]

The nuggets cameo in the solar panel ad was priceless! The perfect job for the smallest mate!!

[@williamryanbill]

Conner has nothing to worry about with passing out. I just found out recently, and I’m 65, that I can’t deal with pain. I thought it was needles but it’s pain. I never passed out but I wish I would have because I feel so sick and bad. Great video ❤️⛵️

[@marcobasilio2107]

The light of this video is amazing. Especially around minute 10!

[@jodymooney255]

This is how I travel the world, through SV Delos’s videos. Just simply amazing and thank you! ❤

[@berky1976]

Great great stuff. Nice first tattoo... I've heard of people passing out on their first tattoos. The body's reaction to getting one is a stress event. Personally in painful areas, I tend to sweat heavily for about 10-15 min and then I'm good for the rest of the tattoo. If you passed out at the beginning, I would expect that. Endorphins take a while to kick in. I hope it doesn't dissuade you from getting any other tattoos later down the road. Just hydrate a lot before the tattoo, don't drink any alcohol the night before, and do breathing exercises during the start to keep plenty of oxygen in your system until the endorphins kick in. The island is beautiful and it looks like everyone is getting plenty of exercise after almost a month at sea. For people like me sitting in an office all day, it is a nice break to watch your episodes.

[@averagejoe1943]

That tattoo is awesome!

[@rickkwitkoski1976]

Brian: "ney toosh pass" Ah ha ha ha! Neh tooshay pah! Fun! crew! As always.

[@mbryan4964]

Thank you for the shot of the Southern Cross, yah.

[@TomStuchberySailing-eg9vr]

That gap in the mountains at 7:45 is pretty awesome, wouldn’t have thought there was a beach in there! Nice job with the solar panel ad, I actually thought it was part of the video until the end! 😅

[@brucerhodes8197]

It's a shame here in the states we aren't more like your hosts, I experienced similar hospitality when I was a young man in the Air Force stationed in Germany. The locals were always so helpful and accommodating. Not many Americans go out of their way to be welcoming to foreigners. Nothing I wanted to do more while in Germany than learn about their culture and immerse myself in it... Awesome tattoo Conor, although obviously crewing on Delos is an opportunity of a lifetime, just wanted to thank you for turning your life upside down to make the time, you've been a great addition, held up to the standards of a fun Delos crew mate... considering it's Delos, those are some fairly high standards!

[@shalakabooyaka1480]

Huh? I've watched plenty of travel vlogs from non-Americans in the states and they were all treated fabulously. Look up warmshowers, it's a hosting service for people traveling across the country by bicycle to be able to have a place to eat, sleep and recoup while crossing the country. To act like nobody here in the states treats people from out of country well is just a false narrative.

[@dianep3071]

Cool tat Connor !!! Thank you for saving the turtle. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@dannyfisher9223]

Thanks for another great episode guy's

[@keykeypr8292]

That beautiful flat, green soccer (football) field with the mountains towering in the background is absolutely epic! So beautiful. So glad you found the waterfall.

[@notwhatiwasraised2b]

I have a Delos 'rash guard' and it's fantastic in the hot sun...light and cooling I am sooo jealous right now

[@nathanixslade]

The boat from the movie "Adrift" is just like yours

[@loisphillips5826]

Sure enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing. Fun to see Sierra helping with the video. Beautiful scenery

[@amberbamber.]

Holy shit your tattoo is bad ass Conner! I LOOOOVE your video's! They always make my heart happy! On Friday's when I get the notification that y'all put a new video up I get so excited! Thanks for sharing with us and safe travels ❤

[@robhowen]

Great Tat Connor! What a beautiful place - thank you for bringing us along guys.

[@matteframe]

[@Dusty10]

I can’t get enough of that place!

[@HazelHammond1505]

Amazing and very detailed tattoo Conner. Wow

[@americanbornwalkaway9110]

WOOOOooo HOOOoo THAT VALLEY! WAS AWESOME!!!!!! WOW it DID look like a Green Screen it was SO VIVID and Beautiful....Reminded me of Waipio Valley and Waimano Valley on the Big Island of Hawaii STUNNING!!!!

[@jettron1]

I have to imagine it's incredibly hard to bring yourselves to leave such beauty.

[@Hoser1mVm]

Love ❤️ u guys. Best blessing’s to you all.

[@KIRALYW]

I love it when a tattoo tells a story. Nice work Connor. FTR I pass out having a blood test. LOL

[@mikemullay5622]

Absolutely gorgeous. I wish I was there. But my hi-res computer screen will have to do.

[@ronzander7648]

Another amazing video, thanks to all who made it happen. These video's are a true escape for me from the day to day drama. Love that tattoo Conor got, I've never much been into tattoo's but the artistry of that one is amazing and it has such significance to him. Fair winds Delos.

[@chrismulvey49]

So gorgeous, I had that feeling of something being so overwhelming beautiful when I viewed Machu Picchu last year and the photos only give you a hint as to how beautiful it is. Just overwhelming to the senses.

[@robertway5756]

Been looking to up my solar 🌞 game for a while. Looks like a good opportunity to do so, and help support Delos simultaneously. 👍 Ramukanji!!!

[@reneequalls5878]

That tattoo is so good!

[@banjoman5424]

Surely one of ypur finest, most diverse and engaging video episodes. Love following Delos!

[@rayb3117]

That Island is sooo damn beautiful. There are literally no words that do it justice.

[@SMAAirAssault]

As always, amazing content! Thank you for saving that turtle!!!

[@rezawaheed8879]
