Saying Goodbye - Sailing SV Delos Ep. 95

[@svdelos]

I'm so proud of Brady for editing this episode. I know how tough it was to re-live these very personal moments. It makes this salty sailor misty eyed...... Love and light to my rock of a brother. If this video made you LAUGH and CRY let The Braidster know by leaving him a *COMMENT* and *LIKING* above :) Love Capt. Breeyawn

[@sandeeprocksful]

LOVE you Guys Wating for your Videos every Friday.....

[@lukebrownie8370]

[@SailBeforeSunset]

Brian, I can see how you would have been really proud of Brady. He has handled himself as a "man" in the true sense and has shown class in every sense of the word. He is truly a mate for you in your travels.

[@austinl.2703]

I never know what to say. RIP Stephen Forno.

[@icovarook5936]

49 years ago I left Hawaii, and knew I would go back one day. As it happened when I had the means, other commitments kept me from it. Now my body is thrashed, I can't walk or swim safely, and I was a fish back then. Im telling you nothing you don't know, just reminding you never trade the sunset you have at that moment for one that may come. Time and Tide wait for no man. I still have dreams of the smell of the flowers on Oahu. And nothing in these nearly 50 years since, has been as sweet. Not even close. Think on this as you go forward, and punch each other in the arm, hard, so you dont forget.

[@jessicakirchoff1214]

Well said!

Here, here!!!!!!

[@rebelyell22]

I'm 20. I leave for Oahu for a week the day after Christmas, and really don't want to leave. I'll live there sooner than later.

[@randombiketrips3296]

Icova Rook that was beautiful. Thank you for that.

[@PossMcLeod]

After all these years this episode still brings a tear to my eye 😢❤

[@RoyalLeech]

still breaks my heart to this day

[@jdavis.fw303]

Having started in the baby nuggs era, then going back to the beginning during COVID, it's been a wild ride. There's a reason why the OG sailing channel spawned so many after all these years. It's truly art, and its done so well you cant help but feel like you were out there sailing with them. Getting to know Josje from Vagabond first then realizing she started on Delos and really seeing her grow up and then to see how much her and Brady really loved each other but knew they had to let go, was intense. Getting to know Frida and Max and Bubs was so fun and I feel like I love each of them like they were my own friends. Josje though will be particularly missed. There is just something special about her vibe and what she brought to Delos, it was apparent even in the short few episodes of her on Vagabond and its was great to see it in depth on Delos. It's gonna take some time to process this episode and savor it for how powerful it really was. This era is really gonna be missed. It was truly a great escape from this tumultuous year of 2020, when real escape is still months away. Brady I have nothing but the utmost respect for you brother. Your maturity and your sentimental and deep perspective resonates with how I try to live and think about my own life.

[@hummingbird2256]

Couldn't have said it better. Only started watch last week.

[@saintnick1552]

Very well said. I agree with every word, every thought....what an amazing thing to feel a part of.....all very special people living life to the fullest....cheers.

[@amonshumate4957]

My 3rd time through. It's always good.

[@BS-nt9oc]

I mean this episode alone rivals great movies . I feel the roller coaster of emotions.

[@Chipper-cs3xm]

Bang on, all of it.

[@svdelos]

Thank you so much for all the love! Reading through some of your comments makes me allll teary eyed.. In a very good way! Thanks for being part of the Delos Tribe and continuing to inspire me.

So, suddenly, you might become popular in Russia, guys :) This is second episode I've made Russian subtitles for :) Best wishes!

[@josjeleyten369]

Thanks for the lovely words Mr Brady! Sending sunshine x

[@fullbottlecustoms6734]

I wish you all the best, both of you. You are wonderful. Thanks for being with you over the last years and thanks a lot for sharing your emotions. It`great to watch and intense to feel. A fucking berlin settled dreamer cried three times the last thirty minutes .. but as you said: It`s good and that`s how I feel right now. Love you!!

[@Ninja_Sloth]

I felt as though I just watched the finale of the American TV show "Friends", except this version was based in reality. I have followed Brian and Brady since the beginning after catching a view of their travels on the evening news in Chicago. I never stopped following you guys. The 7 of you became family and it is hard to digest it has been over 4 years for Josje and Brady. I smiled the whole time while watching this video and even met some onions at the end. All 7 of you are incredibly lucky to say that simple phrase "I sailed from New Zealand to Madagascar with 7 friends over a 4 year duration and we all fell in love". I am envious. Safe travels to all of you.

[@bob-ny6kn]

I hope the year has passed kindly and has been full of happiness, Mr. Brady. You took my mind away with you during your video of diving with mantas while I was deployed in 2010 (deployed from '07 through '14). Sorry you wretched on balut in the P.I. and kava near Fiji - but I laughed anyway. I had hoped the lady from your 2010 videos would return -- she did not. I hope, when in reverie of your voyage, never does an unhappy time surface.

[@peterdentremont7296]

That was an amazing episode. A real masterpiece. As a long time viewer though it was brutal to watch.

[@EnableGODMODE]

Peter d'Entremont It's amazing how attached you get to people you've never met after following them for a few years. Fair winds guys!

[@WHEREVER-I-ROAM]

Enable GODMODE soooooo true♡♡♡♡♡♡ :-(

[@Scottygils]

Honestly the most moving video i have seen on youtube.

[@1450JackCade]

Peter d'Entremont we knew it was comingm, right? ever since chagos, and Babs, Frida, and Max weren't going to be staying which created the tension of knowing it was coming, the channel (Delos in particular Brady) had to "pay" off, which they did; although, I'm not sure how I feel about the channel's first montage (unless you count the early videos), it is so over/mis-used these days. or works here, I think, for a few very smart reasons.

[@silasmarner7586]

Agreed. Super well done!

[@Mtthyman]

After all these years this episode still gets me every time.. Jezus. Love and best wishes for them all still

[@jay_leng]

Looking back and realized that Josje was half of the soul of Delos. Later, when Braddy left, another quarter gone.

[@UnstoppableMorgan]

anyone else cry their eyes out at the end there? Owe my heart.

[@DavidJrReeves]

Unstoppable Morgan The end? What about the beginning? Or the middle? Or the whole damn thing?! I couldn't stop crying!

[@travispertson2325]

Reminded me of having to say “see you sometime soon” too my best friend and soul mate. Cried my eyes out. Always good to release a little from time too time, settles the soul afterwards. Blessings 🙏🏼😊

[@sbdreamin]

Got a good sinus cleansing on this one.

[@Dev_Anand_C]

Yes

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Really going to so miss Max, Frida, Babs and Josje. Delos won't be the same without you guys. Fair winds guys to whatever life brings!

[@svbalihai4649]

Yes fair winds guys.

[@jimmyperic2732]

Dunno, the new crew looks pretty cool and fun lovin

[@boatman5151]

Well said Tranqilo, Fair winds to 4 friends that I've learned to luv so much via video. May you continue to grab the world by the sheets and sail forward.

[@johnbotham7756]

Right on!

[@kennethparker1032]

Among the things that set Sailing SV Delos apart from other "sailing" videos is the humanity that is always the centerpiece of your stories. This chapter is, to me, for many reasons, perhaps the best "storytelling" of all your videos. We knew what was coming, but the beautiful, heartfelt, honest, and fully open way Brady told this story is a revelation, not only of his skills as an editor, but of who he is as a person. He took the time to show us the joys, the beauty, and the very real pain of his experience. It was a brilliantly edited video, and an exceptional telling of an honest, painful, wonderful story. I've been in the video industry for over 40 years, have taught well over 1000 editors, and I can honestly say, Brady, this is among the best pieces of storytelling I have seen. I hope this, along with the year since the events shown here took place, have helped you heal. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself with all of us.

[@sjd9214]

Perfectly said Kenneth Parker. The editing is the best yet, but more than the best, is the honest story that brought out every emotion. I so much felt for Brady today.

[@justinfrederick01]

Well said. This was an amazing video in every way. Better that almost anything out there on the internet or TV

[@Crazy--Clown]

Kenneth Parker Nice words 👍👍 Brady your editing skills are amazing 👍👍

[@Biomirth]

I still can't imagine what it was all like for Josje who just about grew up on the boat. I've followed her a bit afterwards but it's hard to tell what that day was like for her. I don't think there's any more sweetly sad feeling than leaving.

[@justforfux]

Wow, that is some compliment, Brady

[@hitmanhite]

For 22 years I was in the military, traveled the world 10 times over, man I'm telling you, looking back on my life, there were those "moments in time" where you had "the group", and those times will be forever burned in your memories, and you think of them very often. These guys will always look back on these days and always want to go back to them. What an AMAZING adventure guys, we all have enjoyed it!!!!!!

[@justinwestcoaching]

I know what you mean, better love and lost than never loved at all

[@BUCKSK1]

Yep The chemistry of this crew in this and the episodes leading up to this one was REALLY strong. Military, corporate, adventure-bound, suburban, etc, a crew like this really is special when it happens and stays with you forever

[@00708046]

It's so true . You can't top this feeling of happiness that happens and you never want it to end .

[@cavcom]

I did 32 yrs Army and its so true . You gather into a group over time and it just clicks all of a sudden and for that special time all is right with the world. I got your six catching fish.

[@smithsj227]

I know exactly what you mean when you have a crew of people and everything just clicks, and you only realize just how special that time was when it's over.

[@pavichapin]

I keep coming back just to remember the pleasure and the pain from things lost that never return.

[@bjasoncrew]

Been dreading this one. Indian ocean crossing was an epic series. Thank you all!

[@wornslapout]

@Sailing SV Delos Attention Brady, Josje, Max, Frida, Babs, Brian and Kazza, Thank you for the most amazing ride, something not even Hollywood could have pulled off. You drew us in and gave something incredible. I wish only the best for all of you, I truly do! Brady and Josje- You touched our hearts. Thank you for sharing your journey.

[@wornslapout]

P.S. Brady, truer words have never been spoken... Life's a crazy Bitch....but I love your father's advice to you about life in general. Your book is just now being written...you now have something amazing to write about!

[@Fallondrin]

That truly warmed my heart

[@steveo1kinevo]

Very cool when Brian gave his Bro a hug to make him feel better. Looking forward to the future videos!

[@bobaround5338]

That was the best part of the entire episode.

With all due respect... Your an idiot!

never...

[@claudesclaws2009]

Agreed.

[@virtual_warbirds]

Never :(

[@swift_travels2264]

Man what a hard episode to watch. The first time i've actually teared up. I became so attached to the crew. Hard to see them go. I lost it when Brady started his toast. and then watching Brady hug Josje the last time. This is the best series of all youtube, netflix, amazon, hbo, ect. No drama, Just pure happiness every episode.

[@TsrifTsal1]

Watching this episode is like watching the last episode of Friends or Lost. This crew by far had the best chemistry.

[@Emperor9992001]

so many TV producers would love to have the opportunity to record the raw emotion that this series gives

[@JudgeDredd_]

I think about these days often. 7 years ago. Damn time flies.

[@OldSchoolDo]

one of the best video thus far . i realy appreciated the moment when brady was in tears and his bro gave him a hug .. this is real shit .

[@catrinemorell6798]

Omg, the moment when the music stops and the car leaves. Heartbreaking!

[@occ4l]

Awww. And it all started with a computer nerd turned salty sea dog reaching for a book. This story is an inspiring fire. Brian was the spark. High five brother.

[@The_Riddler21]

How after watching this episode 6 years ago I keep coming back to this episode, miss the old original Delos crew, this was the best times on Delos, really miss the vibe of the old days and the old crew on Delos, this is what got me hooked on this channel, hope Josje is doing well in life where ever she is

[@jinitom]

How could it ever have been this good?

[@stevelucero9047]

I can't believe I've been watching this adventure for so long. This seems like yesterday...

[@jennifergriffin3690]

The chemistry this crew had was amazing. I miss Babs.

[@SnoDawg]

Jennifer Griffin When I rewatched this today it felt just as sad as it did the first time I saw it the day it came out. It truly was the perfect crew.

[@NapFloridian]

You are not alone they made an awesome couple... So sad they broke up

[@Donbstard]

@@SnoDawg I concur

[@NapFloridian]

@vega albin Why does Brady suck? You may have more information then I have but please share.

[@AnodyneHipsterInfluencer]

Yeah, I liked Babs. She was a nice combo of fun, friendly, cute and sexy. Looking back though, I think she came to Delos with 2 objectives; get a nice trip, bring Josje home.

[@Mattsana]

It's kind of amazing how you can feel for people you never even met before over the Internet. Kind of powerful. Every single one if you seem to have something so amazing and unique that it creates this universe of love that I think not everybody gets to experience unfortunately. To see this group get divided is so sad and beautiful at the same time. I guess the end is not near, it's here. But every ending brings a beginning!

[@Overnity]

I miss Josie ever since I first saw this episode... now I watch it again and it hurts to watch.... Blessings to Josie may your paths cross again one day...

[@richardnelson3798]

The best Delos video ever...

[@MrVansio11]

You guys are Awesome and beautiful People,,,, been Following your Story from beginning till now but this one is the sad one,,,, all the Best...!!!

[@jfb1188]

This episode deserves some sort of award. So sad and so epic. And really well done.

[@mikejelinek1413]

Agreed!

[@Reddsmorris1]

Sad to see such a wonderful group going their own way.

[@angryoldwhiteguy]

Not gonna lie, this sailor watched with tears in his eyes. 😢 Farewell Josje, Babs, Fedia and Max,your presnce on Delos will surly be missed, may love and prosperity be ever prevalent where ever your journey's may lead. Namaste

[@tomanderson7661]

I have tears every and each time I watch this episode --don't know any of you--but love is love !

[@mnrobards]

This is one of the best videos from the early years. Going on five years and I still miss all of the crew. Hope everyone is doing well.

[@Bladepro666]

I know I'm few years behind but I just gotta say this: Never thought you could attach to someone you don't know on a such emotional level. I cried my heart out. Unfortunately, all great things come to an end but we shouldn't be sad cause its over, we should be happy because it happened :) Thank you for showing us the world and amazing experiences 7 of you had. This is by far THE BEST thing I've watched in my life. All the best ♡

[@scottwalker142]

Your best episode to date - and that's saying something. You made me laugh out loud and cry shamelessly. Thank you so much for letting us be a part of this amazing roller coaster. I knew it was going to be a rough one, but your creative way of story telling is great - perfect music, perfect editing. Well done.

[@svdelos]

Thanks so much Scott, that means a lot to us. It's really our pleasure to share and it's added so more to our own experiences than we ever thought possible. Fair Winds and happy holidays! Brian

[@danstark]

Reminds me of my own adventure 25 years ago with a backpack and 6 months of adventure in the Himalaya. I too fell hard in love with no sight past the moment. Until it was over. As I follow along your adventures of discovery and love, I can't help but reflect back upon my own. I am not sad for having lost them, but I do shed a tear or two remembering how important , impactful, fulfilling and unforgettable those moments and months were. They shaped my life and I'm glad to see the Delos crew gathering them too. Cheers.

[@chrisrea7347]

Hey Guys, I get a lot of enjoyment from following your epic journey through life on the high seas! I am a kiwi, now living in Germany and I was born near the sea, grew up with boats and fishing and just get a buzz from your adventures. Peace and love and live the life. Chris

[@goodollotw7904]

just wow... you can't compare the power of this video to anything. amazing

[@ZingoallaIF]

This is still one of the saddest moments, even in my own live. I remember when I saw this when the video was newly released. Back at the time I didn’t miss one single episode of “Sailing SV Delos” and was following the videos as they came out. The way they filmed the videos made me feel as if I was actually onboard as a crew member myself. As close as one can get to sailing around the world without actually doing it. I still miss the crew that left in this episode. I wonder what they are doing now? Will they not ever come back? The long hug at 25:51 is the most authentic moment ever recorded in the history of KZbin. These videos are what made me by a sailboat myself and start learning to sail.

[@Jakfilm]

That was lovely. Best hug ever captured on film.

[@olegcci]

they should have more tits and ass maybe it would get like 5 mil views

[@thegoodschool4601]

I first watched an episode maybe a week ago, life onboard with the nugget. Then I watched a few more before that. I watched the wedding and Sierra roaming around on board. I got to Brady and Blue having the boat to themselves. I did not want to watch that. I was invested in the small family aboard a boat. I decided to watch some from the beginning. And here I am several days later completely engrossed in your lives!! When Brady and Josje went on the other boat all I could think about was what their adventures are. Now we come here....I knew it was going to happen but OH MAN does it suck. I understand how people grow apart and need to find their own adventures. I just want to say...excellent storytelling Delos crew!!! And what an emotional episode. #thatbrohug 😭 So here I go, sails up ready to keep on and find out about the next crew and how Blue comes aboard. Keep it up! ❤️ Thank you.

[@bob71014]

I'm following the same watching course. I'm hooked

[@mattong4491]

I did exactly the same as you... And am mesmerised and intrigued with Delos' adventure since then... :)

[@Chris-gc1hw]

I swear... These are the only videos I have watched again and again.. I got a life vessel! Can't wait to write the last page of this chapter.

[@HobbitHomes263]

Wow...what an amazing job you have all done making a family out of 196,000 + 7 people! Thank-you so much for making us all welcome! It is not easy to admit our own feelings to ourselves much less the entire Internet! I feel the loss as if it were my own...in a way it is. You'd have to use Maggie to get here but if you ever find yourself up the Bitterroot River...cold beer...plenty of firewood and some sea stories to tell...keep it salty!

[@tomebert7584]

Even though I knew this was coming. Even though it happened this past August. Even though I've been following and supporting Ramatree and Fallondrin since they left Delos and even though I'm an ol man who just turned 70, all of this crew has touched my heart. Since the first vids out of Mexico a few years ago to this parting of the ways which of course always occurs in our lives. You've all done a remarkable job telling this story. Thanks SV Delos crew for sharing your story so far. I'm looking forward to more. Tom Cali.

[@LearningtheLines]

As heartbreaking as that was to watch, that was the best S/V Delos episode that I've seen. Sorry to see half the crew go...

[@randyhodges2473]

Open hearts make for the best friends, traveling companions and they become loved ones. You guys are beautiful, sail on.

[@joefrawley5295]

Greetings Delos, I wanted to say how incredible the passage through the storm was on your insatiable quest for adventure and happiness. Then the sad farewells touched me. Like it was said time eventually runs out and like your wise father so prophetically stated we must turn the page and begin a new chapter in our lives. I watch in awe of the beauty of the reefs, the striking clarity of the crystal waters and the breathtaking glory of a brilliant sunrise. I ponder the warm sun upon my face and the gentle tradewinds through my hair while rocking upon those restless torquoise waves. Oh such glory I see and dream. Blue skies and a following sea Delos as the next chapter begins anew. Thank you all...

[@amandaashton5444]

Had to lock my office door. Sat crying like a little girl with a skinned knee. Love you guys

[@stimpsonjcat67]

Just checking in 2019 here. Still the feels.

[@Biomirth]

Still. It's hard to imagine what it was like for them all to part ways after such an experience. We've all known something like it but to witness it has been a great honor.

[@dirkharvey]

Dang mates, I feel like I just watched my gf leave me and need a hug. Can’t imagine sayin goodbye or trying to live a normal life after such adventures for 4 years.

[@Maoli2013]

Wow, it's 2018 and I'm watching this again. This has to be one of the classics for Delos. Now, things have moved on for better or worse, mostly better. RamaTree is going strong and Delos continues its journey.

[@artofbrowneyedgirl]

Yea I cried. I know this was hard to make..but glad you shared it with us

[@mikemcelveen]

Been watching Delos for a while now. Watching you share your moments with all of us has been great. My heart aches to see so many of the crew leave. It's rare to see so many "cast" members leave a show, and this is real life, so it's all the more potent. I tip my hat to you all. Losing your loved ones to unexpected life changes can feel like having your arm ripped off, only worse. Brady, I don't know you, but it feels like I do. I feel your pain. Bro-hug. I'm dedicating my next beer to you! Good wind and kind seas.

[@nanoceramics2747]

Tears for sure, leaving true friends is one of the hardest things we go through in life. Remember true friends are for life and will always be there . Incredibly touching presentation.

[@ataylor2965]

I'm fairly new to SV Delos. Been binge watching from the beginning & just got caught up to this point. For you to put this out there for all to see.......man, that takes guts. I'm a grown man who has been thru heart breaks, relationships ending, etc etc and I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes watching this. Memories of my own situations, you know? Anyway, kudos for Brady doing the edit & cheers to SV Delos. You & other sailing channels inspire me to seek a way to attain this lifestyle, if only for a while. -JP

[@danielme945]

What an awesome passage Delos crew ! Really going to miss you all ! Thanks so much for allowing us to share all your love !! Fairest of winds to you all !

[@rebekahfinn729]

Friends, you got the music for the final sail RIGHT ON. It's probably needless to say that this episode made me cry. Thank you for creating such a beautiful way of sharing your sailing life with us. Thank you.

[@robinh328]

Oh man..! I'm just crying so hard because of this separation. I kind of wished I had a reason to hate any of this lovely souls. But I wished they could have stayed together forever. They where so perfect. Well... maybe just Babs, she also needed a sweet man on her side. Hope that however all this personal stories continue (no spoilers!) everybody is happy and shining. Thank you for the most sentimental story I've had in ages.

[@tetekofa]

Gawd I'm going to miss this crew. You guys had a good run and wish you well !!!

[@djjinksy86]

I know this happened over a year ago, but hugs all around. What a tear jerker for sure

I cry at the end of this video.

[@SailBeforeSunset]

Reading through all the comments, all I can say is ditto to all!

[@cheapcharlie7]

Sail Before Sunset, is it weird that I want to blow all over Frida?

[@tristanmiller9571]

No, but it's weird that you felt the need to post it here (as if anyone would care)

[@SailBeforeSunset]

cheap: you make no sense. Only in your own mind.

[@jeffrow3]

That ending though. Nice to know bros are there for each other emotionally. These videos and your travels really have brought a ton of joy and positive vibes into the world. Keep on keepin' on.

[@1450JackCade]

And just like that, the chapter ends. Well done Brady. Tears and smiles from me. Way to go into the tough emotions rather than hiding from them as some might have done.

[@scs130773]

Awwww, it was the video I was dreading. Onwards and upwards to all of you.

[@Martin-bb1qm]

It’s not the destination. It’s the journey. Sv Delos proved that.

[@svbarefoot2362]

This was the episode I was not looking forward to, but have known it was coming for a while.

[@robchung3148]

I know this video is from a while back - what a beautiful episode! Brady, the strength and composure you'd shown through such a difficult process was amazing. I shed many tears and watched this one several times. I LOVE the positive attitude the Delos crew brings in every episode (through good times and bad) - a true inspiration to all who walk upon this earth. As another show-watcher said - whenever a problem occurs, Brian simply says: "Here's the problem, and we have to deal with it" (perhaps a curse here or there 😋), and fixes it with a smile. Also love the respect you treat every different culture you come across in your awesome voyages - with open minds, and the universal language of friendliness and smiles - you guys just ROCK!

[@gcgztx7232]

I have never cried so much over a youtube video in my entire life. This got me. Big time. After seeing yall together for so long and the bond yall created.. I know it was going to happen but damn that was sad. I love Brady and Josje so much and respect them tremendous for the way they handled that and made that decision. Peace.

[@rayislooking2]

Yes I agree you can see the hurt in his heart on his face as he watched the van and his life drive away.But at the same time what a brother he has to offer a hug.

[@jasonstacey517]

I have just discovered your blog, and truly this one is the most meaningful. I love the ocean and the boat, but the people are what drives this channel. The pain in Brady's face is real. I do not know you in real life, but we all have felt that pain. I watched this and felt all the pain of leaving my love ones at one time or another. There are always times in our lives that this happens and it is never easy. Me, I always listen to music that reminds me of the good times, and try to forget about days like this. Because I was born in the 70's that means I love Hair Metal and 80's power ballads. I hope this finds you fully healed, Brady, but never forget the pain.

Goodbye/see-ya-laters are so damn hard.I'm so grateful that I've met people who are now scattered across the entire globe (yeah, weirdos, it's a ball). 80% of my motivation to buy a boat and just ....go.... is eventually finding all those far flung friends again. Babs, Josje, Frida, and Max, hope our paths cross at some point in the future. Karin, Brian, and Brady - I'm sure we'll run into each other one day, as long as you and Delos are sailing. Much love to all 7 of you, no matter how many years behind!!

"No, there will still be plenty of love in here" Love your loves. So real, so true. So glad you've shared. I'm just watching but wept.

Great video with so much emotion... Gonna miss the departed especially Yoshi and Bubs... Especially Bubs

[@Daniel1962007]

This episode brought tears to my eyes... I got chills when y'all parted... blessings from lord Shiva 💚

[@nashmd454]

what a tear jerker at the 25:46 mark. You can feel the Love shared even as a viewer.

I'm 55 and this is the first You Tube video that brought tears to my eyes. Brian you should be a professional cinematographer. The scene where the taxis leaves and you slowly swing back to Brady on the other side of the road was PERFECT. I felt his pain. Keep up the good work and while I'll miss the old crew I look forward to what lays ahead.

Obviously all these are edited and it is impossible for an outsider to know exactly who each of your as a person. But, I think Brady appears to be a good person and it was probably healthy for him to process this emotionally. I love watching your videos and dream of some day being lucky enough to have a family of friends like that. Best of luck to each and everyone of you.

Damn....that was some heavy footage.I feel like I have grown along with you.Watching this for all this time.I think I have been aboard for a couple years now.I have been introduced to some great music,gotten to know how beautiful people can be when they arent bogged down in the rat race and witnessed some of the most beautiful places that cameras rarely go.Nevermind the seamanship that I can draw inspiration from should my dream of sailing ever shakes hands with reality. Brady is a strong man.I dont pretend to know what your personal beliefs are when it comes down to cosmic relationships....but if that Yoshi wasnt "the one" then I cant wait to see who she is.Gonna be hard to beat that one bro.All of yall are great people.Multi talented with so many major character building moments on the open sea....lords of your own lives.Literally floating in the breeze.Yall mustve really gotten some major things correct in your previous lives.For everything to work out the way it has.I tip my bottle to ya.Lookin forward to watching out for whats next.Fair winds and CHEERS!

Most emotional vlog I have ever watched. All the best to everyone and thanks for sharing it!

[@WarBeer]

The beautiful and refreshing non-drama of this vlog had my guard down and left me completely unprepared for how I was going to react to this event. Max, Frida and Babs were absolutely fantastic! Losing Josje....wow, I'm a grown-ass man and I was devastated. Brady's pain was absolutely palpable. How couldn't it be?...the love grown by that group is plainly obvious, inspiring and down-right intoxicating. After reading several of the comments below and reflecting upon it, I can't help but feel a great sense of warmth knowing that you guys got a chance to enjoy and share-in such an AMAZING experience with a group of TRULY amazing people. The simple honesty of this vlog brings the viewer along on the adventure and has them feeling like part of the family (crew) in no time. Just as "truth is stranger than fiction"...life (even that of others) is far more powerful than any manufactured bubble-gum gratuitous drama. From the bottom of my heart....thank you Delos! Thank you for sharing:)

Discovered you folks midstream. Don’t even remember where. But came across this episode at some point, and then knew I needed to back to the start. Loved seeing the growth and transitions. Great work Brady, putting this one together. I know you’ve long since moved on but still you did a great job. You had us tearing up with you. You all brought me some light and perspective at a tough time, so thank you for that. I’ll keep watching, especially when I need some more. Now go do some good work. Find away to give back. You’ve been blessed. Share as much as you can. And best to the old crew; I hope their adventures have reflected their blessings. For the current crew, perhaps we’ll say Hi, as you pass by New England.

[@philipperejean9709]

best video ive seen in a while guys.

[@stu0508]

Just found out about SV Delos and been binge watching, this has wrecked me! I was in tears when i saw it yesterday and now reading the comments has brought me to tears again! A fully grown man no less, lol. Just an amazing crew and amazing channel but at the moment i feel like it's the end :(. Lets see what comes over the next couple hundred episodes. It's hard enough to watch Brady go through this so hope time has healed wounds a bit and i hope some of the old crew visit in new episodes!

[@roguesailing6178]

So sad. I love you guys! I'll miss you Babs!

[@The_Riddler21]

the saddest episode for sure, after this delos crews were never the same.

[@bert2526]

No wait. This is your best episode, probably.

[@henrikgormsen1020]

Good times will never come back bad. One chapter closed, new one to come. Fair winds Delos !

[@dougtuttle208]

Great work editing this one Brady. The things we lose in life make us who we are.

[@SaltyNationalist]

I'm seriously crying right now... Many props to you Brady.. And such an awesome job on this.. Ya damn stoner.. I always knew it in the back of my head.. lol.. Many solid thanks to the full crew of Delos. Peace be with you all. Fair winds and following seas my friends.

[@thesheeplepeople1497]

Thank you for sharing this wonderful world.

[@keosh777]

The best youtube vid I've ever watched....one I won't soon forget. It was surprisingly emotional for me to watch. Thanks so much for taking us on this journey. You folks have sketched a period of awesomeness - living love and loving life - humanity at its' best. You've adeptly drawn us into your journey and while this was a year ago I sure hope your lives continue to be filled with peace love and happiness. What beautiful memories you have created from that time. Thank you and Namaste.
