For anyone wondering why we left Delos a few years ago, here is your answer :) We had big dreams of creating Cruisers Academy to share the this lifestyle in a hands-on way with people who dream of exploring via the wind! We've had a blast bringing this dream time life, and you can learn about joining us on Lintika here: www.cruisersacademy.com/cruis...
This moment of sailing alongside Delos was 13 years in the making!! The chances of Delos and Lintika being at the same place in the world, at the exact same time its pretty damn slim- so stoked it happened! Hope y'all enjoy this episode and maybe even learned a thing or two :D
Hugs,
-BB & Shark

I still remember when Blue and Brady left Delos -- Its actually insane to see that all these years later they could make that dream Brady mentioned come true. I literally had chills for 80% of this video because I knew just how much it means to Brady and Blue. You did it Captains!

[@kenburkimsher1356]

As a subscriber, and a cruiser, watching your relationship evolve as your life decisions take shape is heartwarming. The videos bear witness to your passion to share the skills necessary for cruising, but also your willingness to shape the experience for the viewer. Well done!

[@shawniams4289]

You can go back, but "You can never go home" (Thos. Wolfe)... You just experienced that in this video. Our minds work very hard, behind the scenes, to smooth rough edges, fill pot holes, and to otherwise recall things in the best light. We know, your overall time on Delos was a net positive, but at the same time you had a path to follow, together. This is the episode that we all needed, us, you both, and history, to close the circle. Congrats to you both for finishing this chapter. We have all been hung on the penultimate resolution for much too long. Well done to you both for staying your course, and for planting your flag in a ground that is uniquely your own. Well Done to you Both! I look forward to a continued upward trajectory, and to seeing your story continue to unfurl for eternity to see.

[@dirkharvey]

Well said

[@johnh.5779]

Spot on! Brady & Blue, this is so good. Congratulations to you both. As for the sailing, the teaching and the camera work- you both have arrived and knocked it out of the park. The Delos rejoin story was so good. The Cruisers Academy story is now!

[@theadventurecooperative]

Summed up perfectly.

[@tomquinn5437]

Very few people get to do exactly what they want to do in life. You and Blue are the lucky ones. Glad you didn’t get caught up in the insanity that most people are forced to endure.

[@causelessharm4444]

*Very few people CHOOSE to do exactly what they want in life. FTFY

[@johnharris2337]

Love this! I’ve been an armchair sailor watching sail channel for over 10 years, love the theory explanations to illustrate the skills you have and what it takes, it’s got to be good for your channel, being a pretty unique content, mixed with your wonderful photography on the scenery. Fair winds

[@harryhicock3160]

I sure wish you could/would film more of these sailing instructional videos. This one was informative content while also being a really well done video.

[@CruisersAcademy]

We have some big plans for this! Glad you liked it :)

[@geoffmiasnik8363]

By far my favorite video on Cruisers Academy yet. Congratulations on enjoying the results of all your hard work. Your true emotions and pride show clearly. And the video work is stellar. Thank you!

[@deckert618]

Miss you guys together, but totally stoked that you have your own thing going on now

[@user-jc1zi5xq4k]

Awe when yall went back to your old bed room. All i could think about was that huge bottle of Kombucha. LMAO so cool yall full circled. Happy safe Travels yall

[@user-jc1zi5xq4k]

Be so proud Blu & Brady how far you have come and how far to the stars yall are going . so sweet really appreciate yall sharing those special moments and life adventures with all of us.

[@JustinmaguireIII]

Seeing how much love you give Lintika… how much joy she brings you and your students is like the warmest hug.. it fills me with joy Brady and blue ❤️

[@CruisersAcademy]

We love her!!

[@dannyfisher9223]

Thank you Brady and Blue for a awesome episode showing us how you 2 have evolved into this amazing sailing school and the joy's along with it!!! Enjoy guy's and safe travels 👍

[@BillB23]

Any time with Blue & Brady is time well spent.

[@ssecor40]

Pure awesome to see both brothers and boats in tandem. ❤😎

[@headinagopherhole]

I'm so stoked to see this !! and it was awesome to have that flashback where Brady was talking about his dream of teaching people all about cruising ! This is really lighting me up because in similar ways I have looked back at my life and noticed "holy crap I'm doing the thing that I once only dreamed of"! Wow! Accomplishment! Manifestation! Faith that good ideas from the heart can actually come to fruition! Way to go Brady and Blue!! I feel inspired to start manifesting my next dream. For all the people out there who have always wanted to do your own thing and make a decent living doing something you love, and pay forward your hard learned lessons.. this is an awesome template. There are like 7 billion people on this planet.. probably a lot more were born as I finish this sentence. And the chances are there are 100,000 people who would gladly pay to participate in what some of us do everyday. People will gladly sign up for a class to learn something somebody else knows. Or go along on an adventure that somebody else is stoked to create. Keep going Lintika crew!! Y'all emanate hope and joy! AND POSSIBILITY!❤ Zach

[@CruisersAcademy]

So true. We always have to stop and remember to celebrate, it's too easy to get caught up in the next goal once one is achieved :)

[@sergealary9756]

That first 10 minutes was so emotional! Must have been something else to meet up with Delos. Lots of smiles watching this one. :)

[@js7127]

Love the vintage footage and as always Alex's stunning filming stands out. Favorite moment was 20minish when Glenn at the helm, gets the angle right and "Feels It"!! Love the look on his face, like paddling into a wave n "feeling" the push. Nothing like it

[@CruisersAcademy]

This is one of favorite things about teaching sailing, that childlike grin that people get when they feel it!!

[@tjnugent62]

Brady, you and Blue were a big reason I watched every episode. You guys are great. Brady is full of heart. Thanks for the memories.

[@laurariley308]

So freaking cool 😎…. Brothers playing together. A family gathering that worked so sweetly. Goals met. Good on you sweethearts.

[@xxkasperxx]

So I've been watching y'all for years now and in the back of my mind hoping I could sail with you all ...never have sailed....54 years old and hoping to retire but may never be able to ...a journey with you guys would be a blessing....just can't afford the academy 😪

[@CruisersAcademy]

We do scholarships every year!! We always announce them on our instagram so stay tuned for that :)

[@xxkasperxx]

@@CruisersAcademy all eyes and ears !

[@CaliforniaBushman]

Can hardly believe how far Brady has come since I saw my first Delos video in January 2017. Then binged the entire archive. A far cry from making burritos in Australia.

[@MalcolmCookInk]

Cool to see you two meet up with Delos in your own boat... 😄 Really enjoyed the episodes of you two on Delos up to your leaving. Before it became more of a family onboard genre sailing vlog. Happy for you all. That dog is gonna steal the show though..! 💗

[@SVSomeday]

INCREDIBLE. Ive followed the delos journey up until the creation of cruisers academy. Im so excited to watch this reunion.

[@slamhead]

Agua Verde was one of my favorite anchorages. I had dinner on Delos at Isla Danzante for Kazaas birthday last year. Hope to see you guys out here. You arrived in San Carlos the day I left. I'm over in the Bay of LA and will be heading south. Perhaps I will see you. Chris SV Redemption

[@bobsyouruncle1574]

Oh dang look at you with the uploads.

[@eugenefite6785]

It’s so beautiful and elegant to see destiny setting Mr. Brady and Blue down the path to create Cruisers Academy. Brady has the heart of a teacher; it would be an honor learning to sail with him and Blue. Maaaan… Many people don’t find their niche in life; you did Mr. Brady! What a legend. Thanks for sharing!

[@ernie7757]

Wow gotta start watching more of CA. Since I’ve watched every Delos videos at least 3 times. Lol gotta catch up on Brady and Blue, we’ll you guys anyway. Was really sweet to see the brothers back together again on Delos. Freaking warmed my heart. I live in Reno and my dumb hasn’t even made an effort to try and meet you guys. That’s going to change this summer. Much love cruiser tribe. 🤙🏽🌴😎

[@ejs6010]

Great to see Brady and Blue out on their own boat. Congrats!

[@josephfanelli428]

Enjoy seeing you two!! I have been following the Delos journey ( and now the cruisers academy) since 2016…so happy you are realizing your dreams!

[@1roanstephen]

Your boat Lintika is beautiful and it sails very well. Its nice to see another video from you guys.

[@paratyshow]

👍✅👏 Great to see another video from you two. So happy that you're doing so well!

[@jansrensen9431]

Great video 👍 Looking forward to the next one 🙏🏼

[@danlemaster9904]

So good to see how far you two have come

[@dennispatrick4999]

Glad you two are well. A bit behind in 2023; but glad you met up with Delos.

[@colleenbalch328]

Thanks for the adventure Senor and Blue!

[@tammydialgray2835]

I absolutely loved the videos of your reunion with Delos. Blue and Brady your videos are breathtaking and such a retreat from daily life. So much love to you from Florida!

[@marisaconner628]

Another gorgeous episode! So happy to see you both living your dream and sharing the joy of sailing with others!

[@kevbjork1]

Wow, what a journey ya'll have embarked on! I've been watching Brady and Brian from the beginning and you and Blue should be very proud of your accomplishments. Lintika is beautiful and your teaching skills are impressive. Keep on keeping on and say Hi to Sharky for me. Adios from the Texas Gulf Coast.

[@nilsj1324]

Wonderful to see you guys out there sailing and adventuring! I miss seeing you two. You are an awesome tribe to belong to.

[@Arnaud58]

Thanks for the heads up on Delos!👴👌 It was good to see you two back in the place your journey once started.👴🤗

[@TheQuadruped]

Super proud of all the hard work it took you to make this happen.

[@eileenderheim3768]

Great to see you two flourishing. Love to see you sharing your knowledge and spirit of adventure.

[@brianrousseau661]

Good to see an awesome video from you guys 😀 thanks for making my afternoon ❤️

[@wildaltarose]

It’s great that we were able to see you meet your dreams head on. I must say I have missed you both, you have worked so hard for this, and you have all the skills you need. Please stay safe!

[@MrThomasandersen]

I am so so happy to see this video, where you finally hooked up again with Delos❤I saw their video awhile ago, but to see your perspective made it even more amazing and emotional ❤ I have seen all the vlogs to Delos twice the last few years… and you are all very special to me ❤❤❤

[@obieandlaurie]

Congrats on making it to this point, has been super fun to watch it all unfold. Thanks for the share! 🤗

[@markhottman2652]

It was good to see : TWO brothers (re-United) 👇👍

[@dayvid60van]

Awesome guys! nice to see you grabbing life by the ......enjoy and fair winds

[@mickeyjones3662]

Great video. Love that the stars aligned for a meet up with Delos. Love all your content and the teaching your doing. Can't wait for the next chapter. All the love.

[@thomasstieglitz5917]

Congrats Guys! Happy to follow along

[@chrisphinney6430]

Loved the meet up!! Thanks for sharing your life with us. Also really enjoyed the sailing portion cause never did that before. Much success on your school

[@michaelmcroberts4398]

Another fabulous video guys! Thanks for sharing your experiences with such positivity!!! It’s always great to jump on KZbin and see another Cruisers Academy video. Given they are are not released in a weekly schedule it’s always a surprise to add a little something to the day!!!

[@jptrgoddess]

Oh, just like old times. I've been following for years and it did my heart well to see everyone together again.

[@jordanpage2763]

Love you guys learn so much just from tuning in many thanks!!

[@boomersudden6257]

Great job Brady and Blue. You will always be in my heart.

[@monautheim8266]

So much fun watching your videos, keep up the good work🌞

[@jellybean7253]

Good for you guys. Congrats.

[@ryanmann3390]

Excellent job. Great filming. I don’t think most realize how hard it is to both be in the moment, film and film in an interesting way. I thoroughly enjoyed your story in this episode.

[@glenaldrich8789]

Hey guys! I have been following you since the beginning. Glad to see what is up for you. Keep up sharing your passion for sailing! Best, glen

[@Nizchka61]

great to see the idea's came to be with hard work of both of you, you should both be proud of yourselfs thanks for the video

[@kerrymettert8962]

It was fun to see the Delos reunion and great to see that you guys definitely made your dream come true. Congratulations!😎

[@jimifix]

Awesome you too! so proud of you both

[@matthew-oj6zj]

I've watched you both since Delos days. Always enjoy seeing what you are up to. Thanks for the video:)

[@extremelydave]

That was a pretty cool video. Nice to see you two out on the blue with some swabies. Hope all is well with you on and off the water.

[@amaurygarcia9884]

You two are truly inspiring.. what a beautiful episode. Keep them coming..

[@dbeelee8564]

Best of luck in helping people turn their imaginations into memories. While the ideas of actually tending to a sailing boat may be less glamorous, the views can not be concieved from video. Seeing another sailboat sailing from a sailboat is quite unique. Seeing a hundred sailboats under spinnaker chasing you is quite satisfying and an indelible memory. I've had my share of those hard earned memories. Best of luck to all those whom are willing to try. Welcome mating souls.

[@jenbeckman6318]

Thank you for getting back to providing more videos. I love you and Brady's videos!!!!

[@smyrbrz468]

Amazingly cool video! So exciting to see you guys meet up with Delos in your own boat! Livin the dream, so happy for you guys! Oh my gosh those Sharki AI images were hysterical! 😂 Loved it!!

[@patrickclark6261]

Keep up the good work with the videos! Yall are doing great!

[@richardkeith6113]

So happy for you both. Also so jealous!

[@Woodementary]

I’m completely impressed with your clear explanation and instructions. Amazing way of teaching. I’m putting my info on you website for a Tahoe class in 2024. Thanks for being such good people.

[@michellereynolds6290]

Great video! Truly special to see the brothers Trautman together in their respective boats. Wishing you guys much success and I'm looking forward to future videos.

[@karenkendall5314]

Awesome video! Love your channel. I've been watching since first Delos videos. Keep the new videos coming. ❤

[@papachuck6007]

Nice work guys! Keep em coming

[@reb4898]

I am so happy your dream is a reality…I remember that video of you talking about your goals. Beautiful boat too.

[@dirkharvey]

Such a beautiful positive symbiotic relationship you brothers had, it's incredibly awesome to see how the hard work has panned out so well for all of you. I loved the filming snippets of the teaching, hopefully one day I can get off shore learning from the best. Hearing Blue saying 'halyards hoist heads' took me back to class, some of my favorite memories, much love!

[@Corrvision]

Cool glad you guys are sailing again!

[@Kaytee321]

Would love to cruise with cruisers academy one day!

[@annhysell6064]

Congratulations! Hard work planning & executing your dream in order to guide & teach other's to achieve theirs..fantastic. Just returned from Annapolis Sail show..I remember that crazy crush in 2019!

[@andreasweber7828]

Heart warming to see you as always

[@couch910]

Good work CA. Yal are always crushing it. 👍👍⛵️⚓️

[@johnbeck2797]

I really like your approach to teaching and I like that you show the actual nuts and bolts of sailing. Also It's great to hear Blue narrating again.

[@pavlovscellar3284]

Wonderful vid. Nice work. And vaguely surreal to be watching this while also hanging with Brady and Chris.

[@cravenmoorehead3756]

Good for you guys

[@docjeffry]

Great episode, guys! Always look forward to them. This one was pretty special. 👍👍

[@joffe1983]

Good video. Lost track of you for a while after you left Delos. Great to see you all together again. Will be following you from good old Washington State.

[@roberthandlon1877]

Your vision and hard work are paying dividends, good to see. Sharky ai was epic 😂 thanks

[@DobDog151]

Great vid. So glad you guys were able to cross paths again.

[@SV-DEDICATED]

Great direction this channel is heading.

[@dgilbertish]

So happy, great video!! Can't wait to see the journey continue! Much love from WYO!!

[@evananderson1455]

So awesome!!

[@steveleslie9022]

Great to see you guys meet up. The best days of Delos had Brady and Blue on board. Well done being yourselves.

[@grhornehorne8348]

I loved this video. Seeing you two on camera again just makes me smile. Brady is a great teacher and very patient with newbies, reminds me of him teaching scuba to mates back in the day. When Blue is narrating, her tone is so professional and her video work is second too none. Her drone coverage and narration of the Azores was spectacular. Thanks for posting.

[@assadmahmout4360]

Happy to see your goals met. With many years of work to achieve it. I once too experienced that glory and wish you much success! Nothing better than being able to rewind and watch on tape you saying your goals to come

[@kimtaylor6149]

WoW! WoW! I have been traveling up the North West and back down the coast of the Pacific, great summer in my little Airstream! So have missed the vidieos! Sail On!

[@dustyritz983]

great to see you out and about

[@CADdesignr]

So weird how watching this makes me well up aswell! Much love

[@traveller9625]

Great video and beautiful people. I have been watching Delos from the first one and now I have been watching C.A. from the beginning, much love.

[@Timw.320]

U guys are in ur element - awesome stuff
