Been watching you for so long I have fell in love with all you guys!Such great souls,wish I could meet you all in person.Safe travels in your journey.

I come from a long line of Scottish Trawler fishing men. I've never forgotten what my Grandfather said to me at the age of 4; " The sea is either your best friend or your worst enemy". I'm now 75 and have never forgotten. Wishing you good winds and a safe passage. Bestes. Jack.

Wow! What an amazing lineage you have, I’d love to have a beer with your grandpa and listen to his stories. Thank you for sharing!

Just stunning! Thanks for taking me along! I started with the new videos and went back to when Sierra was born ❤❤❤. Watched years and then Had to go all the way back!!! When I’m all caught up I will be bitting my nails waiting for the next episode. You are all forever in my heart! Each and every crew member has a special place and have each effected me equally. Epic channel. Only in my dreams and now here on KZread could I ever live or experience this way of life. Thank you

Crosby, Stills, Nash, etc. etc. "Can you tell it like it is?" I grew up in the 60's - 70's etc. Love the music...

I am living on my sailboat in Mexico only 4 hours from the USA. I am staying close to my son and when he graduates in 2 years I am going to get 6 people on board and sail off to live life like Delos. Thank you for inspiring me to live this life. If anyone wants to experience a live aboard yacht experience, I am here for you and that is how you can buy me a beer! Haha

When you doing this?

Alex’s comments are deep and introspective. I also have to say Lisa is a great addition to your crew with her happy disposition,

I LOVE the dynamics of this crew. Maybe it's how you've developed as story tellers, but it's more than that. Not that any of the prior crew weren't wonderful, but the addition of Lisa, Elizabeth and Alex has been magical, each bringing such earnest, honest and authentic perspective to the journey. I could go on for hours about how special I feel this iteration of the Delos crew has been, but I'll leave that to you folks to keep producing such lovely stories.

Classic music, beautiful beam reach sailing, very heady philosophizing, brilliant editing Alex Blue(very strong Killa stop action flavor), stunning sunrise, sunset shots all combine to produce an epic Delos video. I have watched every Delos video published, many several times and feel this may be the best ever. Congratulations!-Ray

Kirill did an amazing job editing , he always does great work.

I truly felt that I was onboard with all of you in this video. Whatever change you made in the filming and editing worked for me. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Life is slower and everyone is family and enjoying each other and the passage. Keep it up and may the rest of the passage be as kind to you.

I know it is tempting and it would be very easy to upgrade Delos to a newer vessel. I hope you don't. She is what adds to the quality of your videos along with the great crew!

One Team, One Crew, One Family... Good advice for anyone! May God bless you all and keep you safe always! THIS IS THE BEST CHANNEL EVER!

Hey Delos , thanks for all the videos and keeping us motivated to achieve our goals , 4 years down the line of watching your videos my wife and i have purchased our yacht and we are in the process of a major refit /rebuild , no jobs , no cars , no house just dreams and hard work for now ! thank you for keeping it original! love Sailing Lady Africa ( South Africa ) Ricky and Simone xoxo

SV Delos is one of my favorite KZread channels. I love every video.

I LOVE all the energy that is on the boat. I feel like the crew right now is the best fit ever. I really enjoy watching you guys. I would love to donate at the moment, but I'm still conducting my PhD at the moment and am penniless. As soon as I finish, I will be contributing. The videos are amazing. Lots of love from a fellow American, currently living in Berlin. :)

Wonderful, epic, exciting, inspiring, professional. Delos is the best sailing programme on any channel. Thank you for another beautiful video.

Mauro Mozzarelli So glad you liked it, brother!

I remember hand steering across the great Australian bight and the compass light was out. So we were steering by the stars. We had a novice on board and gave him a star to steer by. About an hour later he calls out " I've passed that star, can you give me another one please".

not sure if my leg is getting pulled here or not but a funny story either way. :D

Another week of sanity restored - Thanks Delos crew :)

I love the Crosby, Stills & Nash right at the beginning, with Mr. Brady talking about how it could be any decade. You guys should play us some "Southern Cross" while you film the constelation and drink.

Liz, all the exercise looks like it's working. You're looking amazing.

It really is the sailing! Isn't it? Thank you, Delos!

The best sailing channel ever keeps it up, guys.

Alex and Killa, you guys rock. Fantastic editing

Hand steering by the Southern Cross, split pea soup...you just continue to reinforce my recent addiction to your videos! Now...if you add some cannon fire, boarding parties, hard tack my addiction will be hopeless!

Love watching and dreaming tribe. Love the team and individual idiosyncrasies.fair breeze from a South African in Indianapolis...

i like the moth radio hour too. I know you guys are in the future now but what a fab group! 2- 3 layers of personality interplay really makes for interesting viewing. You people really love each other. I must say I cant remember more interesting and beautiful dive and sail video since cousteau back in the sixties and seventies. I hope to see the southern cross one day! fair safe winds to you all and thank you

Great music in the background Crosby, Stills, and Nash!! Yes❤

Great video. Nothing better then the great blue ocean. Keep them coming as we all enjoy them.

You guys are always putting out fantastic videos. I have been watching for over a year and cannot get enough. I can't wait for your next video next Friday. The crew is fantastic. I wish I had done what you are doing may years ago. The story lines and video photography is amazing. Wishing you guys continued health, happiness, success, and love.AlexToronto, Canada

This was my favorite episode. Been addicted for the past 3 years. This one is the best. Thank you.

I really like what Alex said, "One Team, One Crew, One Family."! That is the way I have always thought it to be aboard Delos. Also loving to see the hand steering and how Señor Brady made the connection with the 'Old Ways'. What a rush, to sit here and see everyone and everything aboard Delos, just fall into synchronicity. It makes me so sad, that I get to see and understand your beings, interact and share the magic together, all the while, I am thousands of Nautical Miles away, and just the 'Average Joe', wishing to be part of that magic. But, as I mentioned, your episodes always put me into such a great mood, like the thrill one walks away after a skydiving 'Boogie', leaving the ear-to-ear grin, The Delos Crew always know hot to make happen. Love and Light to you, Delos Crew. From the Greater Pensacola, FL Area, Love you all!

The Delos "crew" has occasionally changed personnel, but they are always, first and foremost, family! They bring people aboard, give them a "home", and make them feel welcome. Even when we are thousands of miles away and have never set foot on the boat, they make us all feel we are part of the "family". Great sailors, but even better people.

Finally back to some sailing!!!! Awesome... "It's where I'm supposed to be." - Alex.

Hey DELOS CREW, my name is David and I am the production manager at the Pono ranch in Ballard, wa(the Norweigen district of seattle), when Yu'all are in Seattle I would love to host a DELOS Party. We are an outdoor venue right across from the Puget sound... I have been watching for almost two years. I found you right when I was just starting my return to college where I am a music major, and am getting my audio engineering certificate also. You guys rock.

Just catching up with the episodes, another excellent adventure of following the wind by hand & foot sailing, watching the stars (Nice image of the milky way also) cooking aboard(looked tasty) even some Salsa dancing across the Atlantic.

Thanks for another great episode! Always puts a smile on my face.

Thank you SV Delos for making these wonderful quality videos. I admire your good-natured spirit and your acceptance of your fellow man. You seem to make a lot of friends quite easily.

I am beginning to feel really connected to this crew, its like you all are so close and having such a great time. happy sailing Delos.

Right from the beginning I was thinking the editing was much better that usual. ....then I see the credits at the end and realize why.. :-) Killa...

I always wanted to be out at sea and watch the star show. Show it more often please. AWESOME!

I enjoy your videos so much! I've sampled many sailing videos and yours are a cut above everyone else! I get a taste of sailing with my 18' Hobie trimaran and have so much respect for what the Delos crew do. Thank you for sharing your lives!

I love that he is listening to Suite: Judy Blue eyes by Crosby, Stills and Nash while steering! :D

Really awesome episode, sailing at its best; Cheers, Delos, gimme a heart!

Killa Kiril back with the editing?! 9een 8 E 8 made me laugh!

YES! a new post from the crazy amazing crew on SV Delos. Outstandingly stupendous epic vid as always. Steering by hand at night guided by the Southern Cross! Thanks So much for taking me there.

Passage videos are my favorite

I’m jealous of Delos.😉. Hey folks, I’m just reviewing the old stuff. It’s likely my lack of awareness, but, I don’t recall seeing you go into much detail of sail trim. I’m just learning some physics of what’s involved in sailing. So, I’m trying to put the puzzle pieces together. I do have a question (following my statements. - I hate it when people say they got a question, but don’t ask a question. 😂). But, I digress. In this episode, you’re saying the wind is right on your beam. Thank you for the shots of the flags and sail trim. The wind looks directly from your port. If the sail(s) were straight along the centerline with the boat, the boat would heel over, with not much forward progress - if any. Likely just get pushed to the starboard. If your sails were pointing along the path of the wind, they would luff. But at least the boat wouldn’t heel. So, you trim your sails to get potentially max forward progress. But, the wind blows you off coarse. So, you correct the course with your rudder. But, the position of the rudder causes drag and slows you down. So, I suppose you find the right trim to reduce the rudder drag, and sail with an acceptable amount of heel. How soon can you see the impact of a moderate adjustment to the sail trim in regards to speed? If in strong winds, is it immediate? Do you have to give it some time to see your speed increase? It all started a couple of years ago, where something prompted me to just KZread how to sail Josh Post popped up with some basics. Next thing that pops up is SV Delos. My virtual life has changed forever. I get to live vicariously through your crew- heck, through your cool family.😂. Yeah, there are a few others I follow. But, from what I can tell and have heard, SV Delos wins the crown. Cheers! ✌️🤙😎

Best channel on youtube. Great job you guys, I always look forward to new vids.

I think I just came up with a new name for Delos 😎.....after the comment on the video “that so many couples have passed thru or gotten together on Delos”........I re-christen her....BorDelos (Spanish for Brothel) 😃😆 Thank you, I’ll be here all week! 🤡

What a great message - it feels "nervous every time we are going out to the sea....but delos is a strong boat." SV delos is strong because of it's members that keeps it organize. There are plans to the next route and you know your boat than anything else. You keep me inspiring by applying these methods in my life."

Without knowing I have been waiting for it I have been waiting for the S.V. Delos crew to enjoy sailing (again)! Grab that tiller and givr. ha. okok Wheel. Much like seeing novices embracing breathing underwater. "When the music hits, ya feel no pain."

Highlight of my week right here.

I love how you refer to the sea as timeless, 50's 80's 2023, ocean is timless, unchanged

Yes, Brady the universe guide! You are all on a grand trip, please enjoy your trip!

EPIC! Just love the way each of you expressed your feelings about sailing and especially about the hand steering. I agree that there is someting more pure and honest to hand steering. It must bring you closer to the true sensation of sailng as you feel the rudder, you observe the cloth and waves in a more intent way. Basicaly you are much more in tune with your immidiate enviroment. Another great video. There was something very inspiering and down to earth( sea) about it that gave me goose bumps. Thanks for sharing this great experience with us! ❤️❤️ to you all from 🇨🇦

You guys see what " Bums on a Boat " just pulled off ??? Any chance the Delos tribe could flip them a 10,000 subscriber salute ??? I think they earned it.

Now THAT"S a SAILING video! Thanks!

Passages always make for the best episodes, love this crew! Thank you Delos! Ah, my chill!!!

Lisa cracked me up at the very end of this excellent episode......thank you Delos crew!

i suppose now alex knows...there's nothing more invigorating than having the helm of a boat under sail... it was nice to see her reaction...good for you alex. it isn't 'cheating', but it's not the same with electronic helm...the real thrill is when you make the boat sail herself WITHOUT autopilot by trimming the sails, even to the wheel! it is like the best of both worlds...you are 'engaged' but also enjoying the freedom of hands free sailing...it takes time, patience, endurance, and test your knowledge of your boat and the sea...feels so good as you learn HOW to sail... that always happens when the electronics fail... have you all worked out what you will do when the windlass fails??...what if captn has a broken rib from trying to save brother from the shark attack, who now has one arm, and it has a beer in it?...hahaha... good luck crew :)

Love being "first on the planet" to see Delos vids! Greetings from NYC!

Long passage to reflect on life. Thumbs up. 👍

Great video!...Love to see Delos come alive with her sails full of wind..awesome!

Excellent job guys!! The shot of the stars was amazing!!! The sunrises and sunsets...just breathtaking!! Keep up the great work. You all are amazing, and are doing a fantastic job! Smooth sailing! 😘 🌅🌊💫⛵️🗺

Hi. Guys I am one of your thousands fans! My name is Maurino, and I have followed you more than 2 years, I feel very emotional to see you coming to my country and happy to know that Ilha Bela is your destination, as I live 3 hours away from there and for sure I will come to see your boat in our waters resting after the long journey, and if you give a chance I will meet you all and it will be a pleasure to show the beauties of ilha bela along the beachs and under water. ILha bela is one of my playgrounds on weekend, where you can dive, tracking a bike, hiking on the forest island or just lay down on the beach for a beautiful day eating the most fresh local fish or why not a nice BBQ Brazilian style!? I just bought a t-shirt from Delos shop, hope it gets here before you! This departure from bird island was really emotional for me I cannot hold the tears, I am doing my first oficial sailors course besides I know how to sail already and my project is to have the same experience that yours, GOOD WINDS and Good guides you up to Brasil end to wherever you go! Hope to see you there if you give me chance😀

Enjoiyed this video so much...ist makes me remeber when is was sailing as kid. Love you guys!

Thanks so much guys. If I had my way I'd be on Delos for that long ocean crossing, hand steering and all. "At Sea" are my favorite videos and I'm glad you guys think of us and share what it's like Great video.

Your video took me to a place I've never been yet long to go. Beautiful!

Looks like a great time. Enjoying your journey, keep up the good work.

Awe love you guys.... best wishes on your passage.

Another great video, pleased to hear that everyone enjoyed “hand Steering “.

I don't have the words but Beautiful comes to mind.

I totally understand feeling nervous at the start of an underway!

Great video i hope you enjoy in brasil the beautiful tropical country i lived in for one year in 1984 love the country food and the people of brasil !!!

Great video guys! Thanks! Brian, I have a Monitor windvane on my boat and after seeing your troubles with autopilot I hope you consider a servo-pendulum self steering device.

Awesome as usual guys. Always fun to watch and learn. Thanks and best from HKG 🇭🇰

The videos just get better and better.

Thank you for showing and old crop farmer this beautiful place. I have never been to anywhere ;ike this in my life. I absolutely love seeing this . I reciently lost my father and we talked about going some where remote like this but never were able due to his illness. THis is a magical encounter even on line just watching it. WE even watch when we are in the field picking . We set up a screen and tune in to your channel to get the latest sailing culture. THank you very much for your beautiful works of art.

I haved loved all the photos from Brazil so far, and now I can't wait until the videos! ⛵☉💚

Thanks, Delos! Your video makes my Friday great and somewhat diminishes the rest of the week. Keep em coming!

Somewhere around 1976 while at anchor in Nassau harbour, we listened to their only AM radio station. Their listeners called in to answer the question “What do you like with your split-green pea soup?” I never smiled so hard, as it was a serious question for them, that they answered in the most delightful and gleeful way..Mann

Ya gotta have ham in your slpit pea soup! Thats the way my mother made it.

I love the opening were you sweep into the saloon and there is Elizabeth sitting at the dining table like a Hungry-man dinner.

Love Senior Brady's intro. Love your perspective. Love your way. Keep on keeping on crew!

I think I can see the DNA in the videography, guessing Alex's camera and artistic eye with depth-of-field but I could be wrong. The credits tell me what I can already see and hear that Alex had a hand in editing and voice-over. Alex I still adore your voice, you are destined to be a singer in a band some day I think. The 1st of 3 passage video was nice, a slow pace, exploring personalities, I'm glad hand-steering was something enjoyable and not a show-stopper.

So as a comm officer in the early 90's I set a goal for the radio crew to only use HF (the Navy's version of SSB) for an entire six month Med deployment. It was the only way to train the crew up for the contingency of loss of satellite comms - especially the challenge of maintaining comms at sunset. I guess you all experienced a few go back to old school losses of technology on this passage. It's pretty cool overcoming them - bigger sense of mission accomplished on arrival.

I always have a smile on my face watching this

Man, I just love those passage videos! Loved it during my sailing days... Thanks, crew! ⛵

And the dolphins at 6:32. We've sailed with dolphins many times, but they are always amazing!

Another great episode Delos crew!

God, I miss my sailboat. I should never have sold her. She had the best V-berth ever!!

Boa travessia Vela Delos SV, e bem vindos a ilha bela Brasil.

Your split pea soup looked amazing! We also love hand steering...(because we don’t have autopilot on our current boat) I can’t wait to try it on our new boat this sailing season in New England!

Another great video, blessings!

You are by far the most imspire people for me. And after about 5 yaers looking at you I still doen’t have the guts to doe it my self.

Have been following y'all (Southern thing) since you started blogging on the "tube". I can indeed remember being in your shoes seeing the Southern Cross low on the horizon when making way from Key West headed for the Bahamas then on to Big Corn and Little Corn islands delivering light cargo intraisland in a great never-ending circle route back in the 70s. We didn't have the modern day plotters , GPS, or even auto steering aboard or 64' (LWL) Ketch rig. A true hand built Formosa style Tiawan Clipper of double planked Mahogany, Teak and a bit of American Oak. We had winches aplenty, hand cranked and muscle driven, ah for electrics or hydro, but, we stayed in fine shape, no sleep, but fine shape. We Spent 6 months refitting her standing rigging, all her shrouds and lines, tackle and transformed 2 of her (SV Eleutheros) cabins to carry light cargo and 2 passengers to afford our calling to be at sea and call the sea home for over 10 years. Nothing in the world like sailing a good size Ketch by hand 24/7, shooting the stars or sun using a sextent in plotting our passage to whatever port to offload and pickup whatever folks needed while they lived in the islands. Be well all you aboard. Sailing by the stars and steering by hand, feeling her heel in your legs, shifting her weight from one to another, decks moving with the roll, listening to her sticks and decks talk while her rigging sang all the while the canvas beat a crisp tattoo in fine winds, it doesn't get any better. EXCEPT, when your under heavy reef, wind howling in the rigging while watching confused sea's with waves almost main-mast high, eyes watching the bows plunge under green water the whole forepeak dragging foam stinging you face while braced at the helm, heart pounding saying quietly to her, (C'mon baby, raise that bowsprit, I'll get you safe, then she'll plunge again) oh my my, back to the sea we'll go. Fair thee well fine vessel and crew ,we watch and remember our days of youth. Capt. David. SV Eleutheros (ret)
