The Week Of Santosh- Sailing SV Delos Ep. 74

[@bunkabob1]

Brian and Karin. I just completed watching ALL 74 of your videos. I simply wanted to congratulate you on your hard work, not only sailing, repairing, cleaning, cooking, etc., but especially for your beautiful,, extremely well edited videos. On a personal nature, Brian I am not sure I have ever watched ANYBODY do ANYTHING with such a calm, even handed attitude as yours. Most people would show frustration, anger, etc., but you seem to take it all in evenly and just "get her done" without fanfare. And Karin, thank you for all of YOUR hard work, and early morning hours on watch. You are a TROOPER! Keep up the good work!

[@BilldoDilldo]

All 74…wow…ummm got some news for you, lol….im rewatching. What a party

[@BrokenRRT]

Santosh, My wife and I would love to sponsor you on a B2 visitors visa to the United States or even a work visa. We truly mean it! Another great Delos video! What an amazing journey!

[@livetheblues]

[@ChasetheStoryAroundTheWorld]

Another awesome video guys. And congratulations for hitting the 100,000 mark in subscribers!! You've definitely earned it and will always be the original sailing KZbin channel! Keep up the good work and fair winds.

[@kameronholmes7151]

Wow just realized that they only had 100,000!?!? How is that even possible

[@johnfife3062]

Santosh is a rock star! Hope you meet up with him again someday. Frida in rare form. Great episode, y'all!

[@johnware6272]

Santosh is sooo cool.. He is the Rick James of India!!! I may go there just to hang out with him!

[@livetheblues]

Thanks mate for your kind words

[@devanampriya1791]

who is rick james

[@perrrry]

Please Please arrange it so that Santosh can be part of the crew in the future. What a guy! Thanks for the upload :D

[@NosiLLa258]

I've watched this particular episode many times. It never fails to put a huge smile on my face, especially when Santoosh is on the boat.. Adorable!! I'm so glad you were able to meet him while there.

[@mattbankes8202]

I would have loved to see Santosh join the crew. That could be the perfect escape he desired! Also it would be nice if you could make an Album of all the Delos tunes including all the ones in the background, I just really enjoy the soundtrack to these videos!

[@ramsesneilsoto]

great video guys. Lov the way u go native, u guys r fearless n when going native that can b a beautiful thing. I really enjoy the fact that u r not out to remake a "globe trekker" episode, but showing us a glimpse of sailing life, real life with its ups n downs, the good the bad n the ugly. it's really a sweet thing that u guys r not the "Ugly Americans" or in Delos's case Ugly Foreigners:) love the way u guys are not judgemental accepting folks for who they are n where they r. Really loved Josje comments/insights, specially at the wedding n after the run-in with the police n then saying, "trying to rap my head around it" that can be so true when traveling in the 3rd world n u could hav complained, been shocked even insulted, your analysis was spot on, yet no judgment. All ur videos r pretty cool n special to me. but this one really touched me n for me at least it captivated your beauty. May u always have favorable winds n best of luck to u all.

[@justforfux]

Well said, Neil

[@t0ast_164]

Pls type properly 😖

[@kryptonik11]

You guys give hope to humanity!!!! Your videos bring some much joy and excitement and it teaches how to live in the moment. Not to be scared of the unknown but to embrace the unexpected and live life to the fullest! I thank you!!!

[@RealityIsTheNow]

There is something so wonderfully Delos about a couple of guys rolling a drum of illicit diesel fuel down a dock in the middle of the night. :D

[@greymanBB]

The word “Santosh” means happiness/Bliss. Looks like he made sure you all had an enjoyable time there.

[@MicahMelnyk]

Traveling can be so amazing because of the opportunity to meet people who make that experience special. Santosh is one of those!

[@bisbelhoteiro]

As a portuguese this marriage was no good for me .....I would never buy a "car" without first driving it.........Great video guys. Have a good sailing.

[@Ivanator-21]

Santosh is a pretty cool dude. I believe he wanted to leave that place and sail away with y'all. But like Brian said, "you make these connections with people, and then comes the time to leave." I bet Santosh will be thinking about the Delos crew for a while and how y'all brighten up his week as much as he did y'alls. Good video guys.

[@bertfarin8755]

Definitely my favorite Delos video ever. Nothing like India for bureaucratic b.s. Like other commentators, I loved Santosh. What a guy. I laughed at 21:00 when Brian told him in his best pidgin accent to say "pick 'em up anchor" (sounded more like something Tonto might say) but Santosh properly said "pick up 'da anchor". Way to rise above it Santosh.

[@1phishin1]

Hello all! My wife and I were in the first 50 sponsors on Patreon. We'd like to say thank you for sharing your experiences. This is the first time we have posted anything. Your sharing of your experiences is wonderful and reminds us of our times backpacking across Europe. Which incidentally we did separately and with out having met. There is something about the spirit of adventure and the thrill of not knowing what the next day holds that drives us to bring out the best not only in ourselves but to also seek it in those we meet along the way. You have done an excellent job of distilling this out into your videos.. My hope is that our paths cross as we drink in this amazing planet and all the many blessings it offers up in the most inconspicuous times. We are currently in a time that keeps us from fully engaging in our wanderlust so that we might make the best possible way for our children who are now, amazingly entering their time of life to find thier way in this world. As we look forward to our possibilities,bad well as yours, our hope at this time is in the Caribbean. We realize this is a long way off for you and with that , hope that by the time you are nearing this part of your adventure we may be able to join you for a portion of your time there.. Tight lines and favorable windsBrad and Melissa

[@jornjacobsen3945]

WOW! Yet another excellent adventure with DELOS. Really got into this. Strange and exotic places, danger, intrigue and fun. The best escape. Perhaps this is the best? No, you-guys have done it again! This is now without a doubt my favorite channel.

[@tomzito2585]

What a super-cool dude Santosh is. I hope he is doing well.

[@MoMoneyMoritz]

SANTOSH IS THE MAN!!!

[@amitchauhan5]

Incredible and exciting lay over. Santosh indeed is a gem. Indians largely are big hearted, helpful and generous. Glad you had a memorable time here. Keep safe sailing.

[@brooks16661]

Wow what a super intense trip, Santosh looked like a super cool guy. I CANT wait for the next video! Fair winds!

[@salt669]

What a great video, Santosh was a good friend, similar to what you meet all over the world, want nothing but gave a lot, it's friendship.

[@davidc6510]

The positive vibes of the Delos crew always seems to attract the most helpful people from the local ports you visit at the right time to make your adventures so special. Well done all you salty sailors and ambassadors of the world. Santosh really took good care of the Delos crew! What an amazing cool dude. How cool would it be to have him on a passage with you!

[@beggarsbanquet5430]

Santosh...what a cool dude , hats off to you all , fair winds ,

[@WindedVoyage]

My personal favorite episode! Enjoyed every moment of it. The smuggling, wedding, drinking, laughing. Amazing how you guys show us this remote country, great people and different culture. Super well done!

[@svdelos]

Oh thanks so much guys, there was a lot of craziness in this one. Glad you enjoyed! Fair Winds- Brian

[@robfel68]

Out with Babs and in with Santosh. Maybe it sounds abit hard but Santosh would be one awsome Delos crew member and this channel would benifit with that kind of energy. Cheers from Sweden.

[@rjlavallee3575]

One of your best episodes yet. Thanks for posting such heartfelt sentiments on this one.

[@boatshoes4life]

I have seen all of your videos and this one has got to be one of my all time favorites. Keep the sails with the wind and journey on.

[@azmiadnan2161]

One of the great episodes. I really enjoyed watching this one. Santosh..what a character

[@Carambolero]

Wow. Speechless. So many remarks/questions. Don't do the videos so long. I'm lost. Lucky you to experience all this foreign customs/culture (i know). Lucky you all. Hope you enjoyed it. Frida and Kiwi are the best.

[@cyb-m]

I love your videos guys! You guys are awesome. 3 cheers to the Delos crew!. Butter chicken bureau-crazy! That was funny. FYI: India has as much freedom as America does, if not more. The andamans, nicobar, and lakshadeep islands are protected littoral union territories of India, so they have different rules than mainland India. Even indians who are not native to those islands have to go by these rules, and need special permit to visit or live in those islands. In addition these islands are sensitive from a military standpoint. I think some nut job went paranoid and called the cops. Just bad luck. Otherwise they would have had a good time. Santosh seems to be cool dude. cheers to him! BTW.. on a humorous note, you can't really blame the Indians on being paranoid about white people. The last time they showed up at India's shores, they said they came to trade, but within a few years the put the gun to indian's head, colonized them, sucked the place dry, rendered them dirt poor, and didn't leave for another 200-300 years. :P

[@mycofairbanks3321]

Wow! the old episodes are as good as the new ones!!! I love you guys

[@zashkata]

Santosh is awesome :)

I exist only to live long enough to see another episode... Delos is my new religion, I ain't never had a dream like this before... thanks for doing all the hard work so we dont have to..

This is the best yet. Loved it.

Awesome episode. Santosh is great guy.

One more awesome Delos video, often imitated, never duplicated, you guys are unique

[@jmboyer69]

A great episode; I really enjoy following your travels. You don't let the bureaucracy keep you from awesome experiences and wonderful people. Thank you for bringing us along! Fair winds.

[@jackrabbit5047]

These are the absolutely most awsome sailing and travelling videos ever!

[@AdventuresofanoldSeadog]

So love your videos. I'm still stuck in the north but am headed south on my boat in two weeks. Hope my adventures are as cool as yours!

[@joelblea4992]

Another great video. Good to see you get in and out of India with minimal hassle. And the butter chicken smuggling ring is genius. Santos seems like a really good guy. Awesome that your paths crossed.

[@joelblea4992]

Ps. That's perfectly normal behavior for a Navy.

[@anikett2253]

Hey just saw this video. Its so good to see you enjoyed your stay in india, but what you have seen ia just a fraction of what india has to Show you. Thanks santosh for helping them from all indians.

[@210wake]

Pure Awesomeness....Keep up the good, work I'm never disappointed when the new Delos video comes out. And love how you guys show every thing together the good the bad and what's just a pain in the ass.....Can't wait for the next video...till the Fair Winds Delos

[@robertorzech2466]

I love how at 21:43 the Delos emblem shape of the clouds was sitting on top of the sunset. Spectacular !

[@queenofyeay]

AWESOME adventure, no wonder you guys stayed so long. Santosh was brilliant!

[@realgagnon1203]

This video is the greatest! Wow! Your visit to India is an eye opener. Same planet, different world. The wedding between 2 people that have never met is so foreign to us North American yet a daily occurrence in so many countries. At least this young couple were same age and looked good in appearance. Missing was their smile on the most beautiful day of their life... And the sign above the newlyweds, in English. Can't wait for your next video. Fair winds

[@svdelos]

Hey thanks so much for the comment, really appreciate that. We learned a lot during our visit for sure. Fair Winds and wishing you the best!

[@MrTatts64]

Absolutely brilliant, guys! The BS you encountered when saying goodbye to Santosh was unreal. To say the locals actions and reactions to your presence was like a cheese grater up the back of my neck is something of an understatement, but you all handled it (or appeared to) a hell of a lot better than I would have likely done. Excellent! I really look forward to seeing your videos. So much so that I think I might just start from the beginning again. Just watching Brady gain his sealegs and keep his stomach in will be more than worth it ;) Thank you, good luck and godspeed across the waters to all of you.

[@brianz2802]

People like Santosh make the world a better place

[@billywhizz6483]

Amazing insights, not the place to travel alone or just a male/female couple by the looks of it! Really enjoyed this episode, thanks.

[@VIPYROIV]

Words of wisdom captain Brain. Friends always in your heart no matter were in the world they are. Sorry for being cheesy

[@grglyt]

4 words that could sum up your entire Andamen visit ... Definitely Maybe Making Progress. Just when I think that the bureaucracy isn't worth the effort to visit the Andamen Islands, you go and meet someone like Santosh. Just goes to show that a little effort and patience can pay off in the end. Peace and happiness Santosh and Fair Winds Delos.

[@NotBob223]

People slagging on India need to chill out. I've done five different trips to India and have loved it every time. It's NEVER what you expect but it's charming all on its own. Yes the bureaucracy can drive you silly but if you smile and let them know you, the people you meet will easily make it all worthwhile. Santosh of is a great ambassador for his country and I've met many like him. While there were challenges, that's all part of travelling in third world countries - I don't think the Delos crew would take back those weeks for anything. I've seen similar or worse in places like Zimbabwe and Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. It isn't all white beaches, bonfires and sundowners at sunset. Thanks to Delos for showing us the other side. I think Brian got it right that the worst part of travelling is saying good bye to all the cool people you meet. The Indian people let them into their lives (and wedding) - that's awesome. Who cares about a few paper pushers who were well trained by the British at the end of the day anyway. The hassles, crowds and uncertainties just add to the experience to make sure you never forget it.

[@svdelos]

well said bro! :) fair winds from Delos

[@NotBob223]

Safe sail up to Namibia... we drove down that coast in 2012 and it's beautiful but challenging! Swapomund is an interesting place for sure and if you are docking at Walvis Bay, be sure to check it out. It's the Queenstown of Namibia - lots of adventure things to do. Hope you have a great sail and fair winds!

[@claudec2588]

Excellent video. One of your best. I like the story and level of detail. Thirty minutes is a very good length. Really looking forward to the next video. Excited to see you actually doing some sailing.

[@TitusLivy777]

What an amazing adventure! Just think, you could be wasting your lives behind some desk in some mammoth American corporation. Instead you are seeing the world on your own terms. What a great example of how to use life well!

[@goldsilverandiamonds]

Wow! That was an awesome episode, so entertaining and interesting!! Santoosh (Sp?) was a super cool dude, I wish that guy luck. He really put himself out there and took some risks to show you guys around and give you a chance to really experience the culture. What an amazingly generous and kind person Santoosh is.. That wedding was awesome too, congratulations to the young couple! What a great experience to get a glimpse of how things are done in beautiful India. Can't wait for the next video, hope all is well.

[@blueguitarbob]

Does Santosh look like an Indian version of Brian?

[@TrioTravels3]

Great video you guys! We had Behan and Jamie and the girls over from 'TOTEM' for Ti Punch the other day. (a strong local Rum drink) They had anchored right behind us. They had some really nice things to say about you all. Especially Brady, Brian and Karen. We all got pretty wasted as the night went on but it was great to chat and share stories. Love following you and have for about 4 years now. Lots of Amels anchored where we are right now. Super Maramus and more. Nice boat! We're on a Fountaine Pajot Catamaran and she sails pretty good. We've got Lithium batteries installed and love em. Anyway keep up the great work... Cheers from Sailing Trio Travels aka Brad, Krista and Cole

[@memepasmal77]

"We've got Lithium batteries installed and love em." ....nobody really cares.

[@TrioTravels3]

There's lots of people who care! Maybe you should too.

[@memepasmal77]

maybe in another video with another topic but not in a Delos video unless you are a lithium batteries seller.

[@TrioTravels3]

It was a simple Hello from fellow Sailors (us) with a comment of possible curiosity. Behan and Jamie were very interested in the batts and Bryan and Karin are good friends with Totem. I thought the might like to know... are you the web comment controller? Lol!

[@memepasmal77]

obviously they did not want to know or I might say they did not really care . Even if Behan and jamie were " very interrested " ....lol , bon vent capitaine .

Isn't it amazing that we understand so little about foreign cultures, then when they come to America they find it so difficult to live within our culture. It takes a lot of patience and acceptance for us all the live together in peace when the world seems to be coming apart, your videos help us to see what happens, I would bet most of the issues come from poor communications.

We just got back from a western Caribbean vacation. I couldn't help but look out over those waters thinking how cool it would be to see the Delos sail. I did represent the Delos tribe - wore my Delos crew shirt on a day trip in Roatan, Honduras. It has now been bathed in the Caribbean waters, and will hopefully lead to fair winds.

[@John-hw3ds]

Another great video! The culture is fascinating.

[@catchagrip1322]

Them regulations are crazy, i didn't see to many other foreigners while watching the video, {I wonder why?} LOL Santosh seems like a really nice guy, that was perhaps a dream come true for him, meeting the Delso Crew and you guys having beer at his home. If my experience in talking with someone online for over a year who lived 9245.109 miles away from me and finally meeting them is anything to go by, i would say that guy went home, cracked a cold one open and the water taps came on. Excellent video Ladies & Gents. Made me think about a few things..

This video should be the template of how you do your other videos. While boobs and sailing are awesome, videos like this that tell a story and have multiple sub stories of their own is what really makes a great compelling video. This is a great video for these reasons: 1) Beautiful Interesting location with its own story. 2) Interesting person who adds adventure and more story that is not part of the Delos crew. You should definitely be including more non-Delos crew into the story line. 3) Adventure to be documented. Going to the wedding, dealing with the Indian bureaucracy, going to Santosh’s apartment and the No Fault Of Your Own trouble your presence caused. 4) Just telling the story of what it is like in a far away land that most of us have never heard of and would never find ourselves in. 5) The music was really good and fitting to the location. 6) Just the fact that it looks like you guys are having a ton of fun.

Andaman is a strategic port for India,hence all the necessary bureaucracy. Think of it like an indian area 51.
