LOVE BOAT strikes AGAIN! Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 247

LOVE IS IN THE AIR ON DELOS! For those of who you saw it coming miles away like we did, it may not be a big surprise to you that Sean and Chia officially have something special between them!! A boat acts like a pressure cooker to a relationship, it truly heats things up REAL quick! As the new couple tries to play it cool, the crew has fun secretly filming their budding relationship. We also set sail from Bermuda to The Azores in this episode, have a block break on our downwind pole, and Ruben shares how crossing an ocean has already changed the way he wants to live his life! Much love, BB and crew!

It is really great to see Delos shrug off heavy weather like it is a built to take any condition the sea can throw at it. The captain and crew show complete confidence in Delos by the way they react to the changing weather conditions. No one freaks out. What a great yacht design Amel came up with when she was built.

[@daytramper640]

really love how sean talks like a yacht racer, find he weather updates awesome

[@mattlewandowski73]

He certainly seems to know his way around a boat :)

[@MrJhchrist]

Whatever y'all are picking up on, I'm missing completely. I haven't picked up on any beef whatsoever. Strange.

[@davidc6510]

Sean is a pretty awesome sailor - his knowledge on how to read the weather as well as the sea is impressive. I bet you all learned a lot from him one this passage. Thanks for another great episode!

[@Mahalo_83]

He’s totally Brady’s safety blanket

[@bubbagail7450]

"DELOS" (definitely experiencing love off shore). I do like the passage video's best. Love seeing life on the water. Sean and Chia holding hands asleep, Blue tucking Brady in, sweet.

[@williambremner9022]

Sean shows his true offshore knowledge again. Excellent crew...just exudes the right vibe for bluewater passage making to me. Calm, safe and clear-thinking. Knows his weather too. I would sleep well off-watch with him on deck.

[@parsley59]

A Delos update on past crew would be a fun few episodes

[@maxellison55]

I just love Blue, so chill and someone who enjoys everything life has to give.

[@jamesbockenstette4332]

And that voice..... Love the Blue voice.

[@maxellison55]

James Bockenstette She’s a keeper!

[@Pimptorious69]

I love how calm Brady is when the winds pick up.

[@careystravels]

He had a moment there near the end where he didn't look chill!

[@archstanton9206]

It never ceases to amaze me how the Standing Rig and the system in general holds up to the relentless pressure of the wind on these blue water boats. When you look at a sail boat under way, even in nominal wind, the pressure on the rig is amazing. In a gale, with little to no she is still taking a load. Watched Delos now for several years and now and I remember when you guys rebuilt the rigging...this stuff fascinates an old gearhead like me. Brady you are a born captain. Not everyone is. You and your brother both have the gift.

[@keebearfull]

2 things must be said {& only @ 11.51} 1. Blue I love how you really are the "Boat Mom." 1st gentle passage motion, Blue checks down the crew -> all asleep. 2. Night watch sky shot with Ruben. . . I just love the night sky out on the open sea! SO stinking beautiful! Thanks!

[@petronics2454]

I think that the ethos of SV Dellos, is truly amazing: a big influence on the new crew members so they really fit in, and taking nothing away from their own selves. Mr. (Now Cptn. Brady) and Blue, I am really enjoying you mates. Another beautiful episode. Sean, Chia and Ruben you are doing great and I certainly appreciate your contributions. Cheers pete

[@olemanjim1415]

Thanks guys for another great episode ! That boat really is a pressure cooker when it comes to budding relationships ! Captain, I really enjoy and learn from your in depth explanations. The why and when to leave port. Possibly taking a port tack in case the system gets ahead and why to do that. Good stuff brother ! Blue, was it your choice of music for the leaving Bermuda scene ? It feels like it was so I'm giving you the shout out : ) Ruben ! Great job opening up about the cruise changing your life plans ! You make the right choice !! All around another great video !! Thanks guys !!

[@DualMagnums]

always wondered what happened to chia and sean after they left delos, and ruben too. this was definately one of my fav chapters of the delos story. such a special chemistry in this group

[@dennisknie9026]

Becoming a "Renaissance Man" is the best thing. The adventure too that goal is the best. They are the best type of people to be around. Keep it up Reuben.

[@svtinker]

You guys make it look so easy. Beautiful people sharing a piece of this beautiful planet!

[@donburnett8629]

Sean. What a fine sailor you are! The Cape story was rad. Being that close to catastrophe and loss. Woah. Plus it's clear you are in touch with nature. Very astute observations on the front passage. And you have skills. Chia is tuned in to the sea as well. Ruben settling in too and Brady and Blue are steady as always. Good episode. Go Delos crew.

[@arjansobreno6042]

I really miss old delos.. With 7 crew in the Indian Ocean... I really miss jos and babs

[@careystravels]

I still don't know why Brady and Josje broke up! They were so cute together!

[@blackwatersailor2961]

Sean clearly knows his sh*t and articulates it so well. Another great crew right there for captain Brady 👊🏻

[@garygerard4290]

'someone new taking care of Background Soundtrack Duty? 'keep them On Duty - excellent work

[@goodbyemr.anderson5065]

I'm guessing Ruben.

[@JohnnyAfghanseed]

you guys always seem to put a smile on my face somhow, haven't watched in a while and what a shame it has been, depriving myself of the good vibes at sea. the new crew definitely grows on you too. Miss Breeyawn and Kazza in the vids, but look forward to seeing them again soon, and hope their own adventures are going smoothly too.

[@MJSailing]

Ruben & Brady totally have it right about comparing the experiences of wind on land vs on the water. I think most sailors will take a moment to stop, even while on land, and appreciate the forces around them....but mostly appreciate that they're not out *in* it. 😉

[@christianstevens9804]

The more time I have to witness the Amel 53’s rig the more I appreciate it. Such an adaptable setup with so many options for both heavy and light air passages.

[@genereralspectacles]

If it wasn't such a costly vessel it truly would be the best bluewater. Check out the Morgan out islands(I'm sure you already have). They don't have as well designed rigging but they are a great live aboard blue water vessel

[@arumrunner]

After all these years Delos crew still keeps it real.

[@markhottman2652]

To have a boat relationship fully SportsCenter documented from the perspective of Blue......................................................P R I C E L E S S. Three cheers to the love birds !

[@mabsalom1]

Great episode and major props to the editors. Fun, exciting, heartwarming. And Reuben, he's a star. Blue: "At least it's yours" cracked me up. So right.

[@kellyferguson2062]

Oh yes I saw the look in both of their eyes when the first arrived on the boat. I just knew the were gonna become closer.

[@jocelynwade9458]

Kelly Ferguson But imagine what those dreads must be smelling like.

[@goodbyemr.anderson5065]

Jocelyn Wade lol butter face if you ask me. But I'm not very good looking either.

[@hyrocket]

*oh yeah, Kelly got de connection on those ocean riddim **24:46*

[@Casca-su3ty]

What look

[@elm6765]

Well.. Blue gave em' the choice, set up conducive conditions... They took the bait!! Epic!!

[@irwfcm]

The passage videos are my favorite. Underway is the only way!

[@lisalarose7050]

I would be willing to wager that when choosing your crew you were also playing cupid with your selections.. I saw it from day 1 with those 2. And I see Brady and Blu rubbing their hands together, looking at each other with a sheepish grin on their faces like their plan has been set in motion.. and mwahahahaha it's working!!

[@richardfleming8241]

welcome back to Green Island Delos; it’s time to kick back and relax and have some fun, you desire it after your Atlantic loop. Hope all are back aboard, looking forward to coming releases. S/V Shona

[@luacreskid]

Been watching for years...and although not a long termer...Blue is like the ship's mother....wise and consoling. Good job, guys.

[@williambremner9022]

Kazza is the real ship's mother on Delos, in my opinion. I think Blue is the dreamer...always talking about how she feels and more emotional stuff. She is solid crew though, don't get me wrong! Strong, capable woman.

[@colinio7999]

Tonight my wife and I decided to buy a boat and live on it in the harbor of a Great lake for the summer to start. We've been adventuring from the day we met and when I suggested the idea tonight her eyes lit up and she reminded me that when we met she was dreaming of hopping on a boat with a friend and going. Thanks for being an inspiration. Lots of love.

[@trevorbyron8181]

Very interesting episode...nice crew aboard...i enjoyed the south African guy's narration best...he done it so right. The English guy seems ace to get along with...so human...the south American babe...she's lovely...and the two lovebirds...nice..wish it worked out for them eventually

[@tula7141]

Great job Captain Brady! You kept your crew safe with your navigation skills!

[@gailbancer1571]

Oh come on Blue, you had no idea an attraction would happen, When you invited Sean and Chai aboard? I'd say you nailed it, Ms Matchmaker.

[@duanecreativemachine]

Being in the open ocean makes you realize just how small we are as humans and how powerful Mother Nature really truly is.

[@foundatsea3483]

Ahhh, love. The true miracle of life. Let it shine

[@lfconley]

One of my favourite videos. Loved all the sailing talk. I felt like I was learning while I watched.

[@yachticus]

Precision sails have built you a beautiful set of sails = the yacht looks brilliant

[@richardshippful]

Cool episode, they say life on a boat will make OR break a relationship.

[@stacykilchenmann5929]

Documentary quality videos, keep getting better and better

[@GoodCybrations]

Love Love Love

[@billtauklotz1592]

Such stunning scenery. I enjoy this a lot. Reminds me of my trips where I take the good music like the Guns N Roses, Imagine Draongs or the Delta Parole and then enjoy the powerful feeling of the sea. ¡vamos!

[@_MicZ_]

Binge watching the series a year later it seems strange that when this crew was introduced (Florida) Brady and Blue already suggested they (Sean and Chia) could share the front bunk if they wanted. Seemed kinda out of place and suggestive at the time, but in hindsight it might be that there were already sparks back then and Brady and Blue picked up on that ?!

[@shanekennedy7936]

These are the best so far. I don’t know the music the editing the crew... just the best sailing vids out there

[@mikemullay5622]

The rest of the crew noticed? How about all mega thousands of your viewers!! I think it is cute. I wish them the best.

[@sailingavocet]

right??

[@vresor]

Great video. The imagery of watching the Dipper rotate through the night sky was intense. Love it.

[@thesailingkiwi]

it's a sweet ride this thing we call life

[@mrabrasive51]

Hormones on the high seas!!

[@alohathaxted]

mrabrasive51 you’re not paying her enough.

[@AKBoaterChad]

I’m enjoying the greater focus on sailing this season! (I’m a few years behind)

[@stimpsonjcat67]

Great pan of the dipper little brother. Second star to the right.

[@mauharley]

I've been on and off with your channel. With the proliferation of sailing channels basically doing travelogues of the same destinations, I switched off all but SLV. But this long passage really gets me excited. This is a true sailing adventure. Safe passage.

[@miller3654]

Thank you Delos crew for sharing your grand adventure with us. I love seeing the world vicariously through your eyes. Any updates on Brian and Kazza? Hope everything is going well for them.

[@joelvoss1226]

2:12 Inspector Blue does not miss much. LOL

[@jimfox4707]

The description you’ll provided about Bermuda was correct. There is a since of genuine friendly people who live together in harmony. And they treat everyone with that same respect. Been there many times, but local laws prevent living there. Houses are outrageous and independent incomes must match.

[@sailingavocet]

congrats to the new loves and old loves! Boat life is wonderful, it strengthened our relationship and made us a real team. Wouldn't have it anyother way!

[@FreeAmerica-sc9hu]

Brian, is Brady the age you were when you first sailed for Mexico into the Pacific? I just saw the light turn on in Brady's eyes. He truly is seeing things through the captain's eyes.

[@williamstine3324]

I had found this channel a few yrs back and realize I was binge watching so I went to the start and started from the beginning and then couldnt wait till every Friday I actually stayed up Thursday into Friday waiting for it to pop up. I had to go away for 9 months and had to recap on everything I missed...guess what binge watching again..love this channel I wish I could do this someday.

[@HobbitHomes263]

I ofund in my boat that surfing can feel nervous at the helm but it actually de-powers the rigging. Air power and water power are always a part of the plan

[@thomasfoolery8408]

Beautiful shot of the Big Dip Dip Dip!!!

[@versedi]

Diverse skill set got me completely laughing, loving the vibe in this season :)

[@louisturner8842]

Once a Week for about an hour I get hope.

[@gordonharmon281]

Brady your brother must be so happy that you are rising to the challenge as captain nice job everyone on board fair winds you lucky seadogs

[@Cameron-ur2tk]

Not another #Poogate 2019 lol. Sidenote, Brady is overdue to get bit by some animal or fish, its really just a matter of time. Sound track was on point.

[@edrosenberger6947]

This was a very enjoyable episode....thank you all !!!!!

[@jseadog]

Things that go bump in the night ! 🤗

[@mrtraumaboyy4098]

Cold and raining here in NW FL. Waking up to this video was AWESOME!!! Merry Christmas Gang.

[@CaptQueeg]

I haven't watched a Delos video in ages. Wow, is all I can say.

[@p8ulr3id]

Blue has officially now graduated to Boat Mom...

[@wolfgangmuksch581]

yep, love is in the air and is also an important human matter

[@joeweeks7256]

Them two make a good couple

[@666madmal]

Love the new sail

[@PossMcLeod]

@10:50 I'm just working away at my desk at 1:19AM and was thinking a nice big mug of Cuppa Joe wouldn't go astray, and Blue was one step ahead of me! haha. Thanks for the confirm! haha. Kinda would rather be on a boat in all that amazing blue water, but watching someone else sail through it is the next best thing. Thanks for the chills! 🇧🇲😎

[@hagerty268]

Hi Delos..have been binge-watching. Long time sailor. Does the personal dynamic change a lot going from 1 couple and 3 unattached crew......to now 2 couples and one unattached crew?

[@S.L-Sully]

Love every Delos episode!!! Keep on being yourselves!!! And to all the haters, I see you coming back and commenting so deep down your fans!!! ❤️⛵🌊❤️🤙🤙

[@tylerrawlings7723]

Blue being captain obvious as usual.. jeezus

[@GoneMudden]

LOL if the boats a rocking, dont bother knocking..

[@amitupadhya90]

GoneMudden 😂😂

[@fudogwhisperer3590]

From time to time, there seems to be a 5th wheel on Delos..........this time its the Kid's turn to be the wheel.............

[@MrJhchrist]

Gotta set him up with Lisa!

[@highvibe4839]

Loving Brady’s weather information and knowledge as per usual! Great bloody sailing on this episode too!

[@2ShoesPhoto]

Now let's see if I can find my own comment from a few episodes ago where I called out Blue for trying to set her friend up with Sean in the forward cabin...

[@Oladavol]

Haha it was only a matter of time :)

[@ladydi4runner]

Yep! So it has a kind of”manufactured “ feel to it. Not particularly appealing since it has changed the “crew vibe”. Don’t get me wrong obviously they all work together well and am happy for them in general. But I find myself not looking forward to their vlogs as in the past. IMHO 😳🙂

[@robertadamsmetaldetecting6324]

YES Captain Senior Brady! We are all ready to go! LOVE the passage videos!

[@danieloliver20]

Well Ruben start strumming that ukeleli for a mermaid, that's a long passage to the Azores!

[@HopeOfJoe]

The first couple of chords on the ukulele sounded like the beginning of the Bohemian Rhapsody, 🎼 and I was thinking, Rubes, you have more talent than you let on !!! . Fabulous 'Love Boat" episode and my hats off to Captain Brady for weather discernment and integration into the float plan !! ✨☀️✨🌊⚓️⛵️🏝✨💕✨

[@islandonlinenews]

I think I say this every episode. I love you guys. Hope it works out with Shawn and Chia.

[@Stevek552]

Now.. As if sailing the world on Delos isn`t living the dream enough.. Sean getting it on with Chia... Come ooonnnn... Have a heart would ya!! :)

[@iancox468]

Another insightful episode from the Delos crew awesome

[@joecat101]

Amazing how different Blue looks with her darker eye brows. Very nice.

[@HobbitHomes263]

When single handing I found it a ton less stressful to accept less speed-ove-ground ine in exchange for not having to worry about emergency sail changes when the weather was dicey. I began to fel that cncerning myself with the SPPED of a passage was against my goals for being out there in the first place.

[@BrianCandlish1]

Counselor Blue, your evidence submission is overwhelmingly convincing!

[@richardmason902]

Nice exposé on the use of Predict Wind. Thanks for posting.

[@fishaholiclures]

That snap block has been dodgy for long while. You can see the crevice corrosion has turned the inside grey and the only thing holding on was that tiny edge. That is usually an indication of lack of articulation in the tackle, and a strong strain at some time has bent it past its limit. Maybe consider 2 swivel shackle below the block.

[@thevez2001]

Bermuda is nice but I took it as sub tropical but we Liked it it was our first vacation. But We love ST. John U.S.V.I. it is so beautiful there people are so friendly I would like to go to bequia it reminds me of st john 20 years ago love your channel SV DELOS It is better than any other channel me and the wife wanted to do what you guys are doing keep up the video's love them all

[@BastienKoert]

privacy is dead...but the romance lives forever

[@adayinthelife5496]

Hey Ruben. You're a smart guy! I'm 45 and I still can't decide on 1 thing to do. I've worn many different hats in life and career, as many people do. Cheers, bro.

[@shanelobo8510]

Hey Delos...can you guys please put a camera on the top of the mast to shoot the heavy conditions!

[@darcyferrigno]

Aww cute. it's funny that even as adults we try to be sneaky with our budding romances and everyone knows. Literally everyone that saw my now fiance and I together three years agon they were giggle and saying we were falling in love. I denied! Yep, now planning a wedding...haha. Chia and Sean are so cute. Chia reminds me so much of my fiance's daughter they look like sisters so its even more adorable to me.

[@MiQBohlin]

Cute! Good to have spares!

[@ignatswilliams]

Plus an instructional video of sailing SV Delos with Captain Brady and Blue! Forget Mars folks. A new song.

[@sandycrane1739]

There was, at one time a Air Force Base my dad was stationed on when i was 2-3 years old

[@pediclescrew]

Another great video. Thanks for documenting your journey. I love the videos that really accentuate the nuances of sailing.
