How cool is it Brian admired Capt Fatty's writings, which inspired him to begin his sailing adventure. That brings him full circle to being admired himself to be one of the most admired sailing Captain's on the sea! Now him and Karen are raising their daughter on a sailboat as well! Beautiful story! I am happy to be a viewer of it all! HAPPY sailing Captain's!

Love our ferro. Sail her every weekend

BEST EVER. I needed a series like "Fatty" to get off my ass and focus on what I can do -- or work around. Cancer with 9 months of radiation + surgeries + chemo -- skydiving = reverse replacement of L. Shoulder. (homes are dangerous = broken neck and now in 5th month of recovery + therapy.) Mastered jobs/projects that "couldn't be done". Used Navy Dive Manual in library to teach high school friends how to SCUBA dive -- supporting dive shop in Miami was opened to support filming of 'Flipper'. Think I see an opportunity to make very short + brief 'how to' series. Look for 'Alan's Quest'. Yes, Man of La Mancha is a guiding light. Thanks again.

A living legend.These folk have led very rich, full ,fascinating lives,its a privelage to be able to listen to their yarns.I raise my glass and toast their lot.

Magnificent!! Been reading Fatty for years and now he comes to life. Thank you

SV Delos, you guys are still the absolute the template for sailing videos that we are all lucky to view for free. I enjoy your videos because aside from being absolutely genuine, you include events such as scuba diving, fishing, cooking, exploring new places, photography, how-to-fix segments and the list goes on. I appreciate all the confidence you've given me to be able to confidently get a boat one day (retired Army Paratrooper) and head out for good! Thanks for everything and keep those shows coming! Andrew

This chap is a true legend....he has lived the dream and still is !

I can listen to this man all day. What a legend! When I grow up one-day I want to be just like that.... This is also why Brian and his crew is so authentic, they are writing their own story.

Capt Fatty is the Good Fellow of the Century Thank you SV Delos for bringing such a matriarch of the Seas and Sailing Sport Life to us and your beloved friends and fans.

What a lucky old salt! I'm envious. Delos is following along in his wake. What great lives the five of you have. Enjoy. Peace.

I have been reading Fatty articles for about 25 years now in three different sailing mags, this is the first live interview I have seen of them, How wonderful, thanks to Delos.

I love all Delos videos, but when Brian speaks freely and/or interviews great folks. I love the realistic stuff, happy passages!

Just listening to this guy makes me want to improve my life.

Originally I wrote, "I love the technical and boat stuff the most!", but your balance between stories, history, personalities, adventure, tourism, culture, etc doesn't suck at all! And SAILING!

I just can[t believe that you met Fatty, both he and Caroline were and still are hero, they fired my dream to sail the world. Cool

They are amazing people! So awesome to talk to them!

seriously one of the best and entertaining series of a interview

I really enjoyed all these awesome videos about Capt. Fatty and Caroline. Delos, great idea to interview Capt. Fatty and Caroline.

Love this guy and the story, a true guru of the sailing life

I'm 62 and started drawing boats with a crayon on the sde of my toybox. I had what they call "boat sense". The first book I obtained on how to develop a line plan was "Yacht Designing and Planning" by Howard Chappell, another called "Senable Cruising Designs" by L.Francis Herreshoff. Fatty's is having a great life with a great wife - genius of human spirit. The most interesting people I have met have been on docks, boat yards and in Marina bars.

Cap'n fatty and his views of life and sailing and passion are really worth treasuring ! Kudos !

I sit here in a lovely part of the world listening to your interview with waves lapping against the hull, and in the background my son is playing online call of duty........... I am making changes. I can only hope my children figure it out earlier than later. I have watched Delos for a long time, but this interview is well within you're top 5 and hopefully gets through to my children. RESPECT!

I hope you realize how epic it is that YOU all did this interview. Definitely a high point. You guys probably make Fatty proud following in his wake.

Love this guy. So much appreciate that unlike some interviewers who constantly interrupt Brian just let him talk , and he sure knows how to talk.lol. It was great. Cheers

I’m gonna buy youse guys a beer for this fascinating interview!!!

So great! Thanks for finding him and interviewing him!

hey1 You guys on Delos. I`ve been following you for a few months now. From Vancouver Island. Just nowI was watching your interview with Capn`Fattty. Interesting! I finally see that there is someone with a lot of stories that talks as much as I do. I didn think that was possible. But, I guess that when you have as many stories as I have from my last 78 yrs. of life, never having been in one spot for very long. I am a sailor also but I just lost my 36-foot Seebird to a bankruptcy. Now I am getting the bug again to go offshore and particularly to Madagascar. I was introduced to it by you guys diving expeditions in Nose Be! I have watched a few other circumnavigators, but none as interesting and well-done videos as yours. I hope we meet eventually. iǜe got at least 20 years left in my pants. Nobody believes I almost 80. They look at me like I lying at first then I can see them processing it and thinking! Who would lie about that! I be really happy to buy you a beer but I am not fishing at the moment so I don have much coin! If I srart fishing again this Winter and make some bread, I want to buy this little 28 footer sloop and head out! I am a bad weather sailor from experience. I sailed from Alaska, (Prince Rupert, Canada) to La Pazin the Baja Mejico in November of 2002 and had to fight Hurricane Ivan in 2003. I Had to come back to Canada because of two abdominal hernias to get stitched. Then I was refused entry into the USA because of a 42 yearold drug charge in the US. Apparently they don Pardon for drugs. So I lost that boat to the Mexicans. Ten I purchased the Seabird but never got it ready enough to go as I was always fishing commercially! My skipper got offered a job as Cptain on a BC Ferry for seven hundred a day and quit shrimping and I lost my guiding Summer job also and just saif fuck it! So now I a landlubber for the last year. I live in Port McNeill in an apartment. Something I haven done for at lesdt 30 years| Keep up the good work. Love y`azCheers! It a wrap!

I've read most of Cap'n Fatty Goodlanders books. He has a great sense of humor in his writing! Nice interview guys!

Binge watching in October 2020. These folks are legends! Terrific interview.

Ballvaria and Bendytoe! Love it!

I have been living thru you all and for that I thank thee. I have spent 35 yrs in a harness and am now looking at breaking free. My life has passed in a blur but have good things come of it alllllll.....sons. Sail on and on

how can 7 people dislike this? great series of videos you 3 thanks for sharing!

Wow ! That's all I can come up with you guys really went over the top with this amazing interview

What a great story teller, amazing life. I find this all so interesting because my dad was a deckhand on tugs. happy sailing peace :)

Your videos are usually good and some are great, but these interviews totally blasted it out of the water. Awesome material! Please interview more awesome people. Thank you!

thank you for sharing this... it was old sailors around the great lakes that inspired my love of the sea.

Fatty is a very interesting character I'll need to purchase his books now

THANK YOU!

Thankyou. Great interview.

What an interesting couple :)

Just received my Delos T Shirt and love it May frame it and buy another 🤣🤣🤣

a format departure ;] cool getting to know more "cruisers" and hearing some of the history and stories thanks for the videos keep them coming

Brian. While interviewing this couple, did you suddenly hope you will be like them when your their age? They are truly fascinating people and there is so much to earn from them as sailors.

Where are the fatty Delos Tshirts? Those two deserve recognition.👍. Different videos for Delos but also some of the best for the different content. AWESOME and thank you.

I enjoy your videos but there is much to say a out the "salty sailors" that we meet out on the ocean. A wonderful combination of history and story telling.

Really cool interview

I think I may know of the other Ferro cement boat that was completed.. The owners name was Mick.. English I think.. The warehouse may have been in the old Hingham ship yard? I remember it being launched maybe about 1985.. ?

Still love your intro music.

Him mentioning about having to add a birth for their daughter. Little did you know back then Nugget would be sailing with you.

LIKE !!

Building my John G. Alden Indian Class I just found out what a Table of Offsets is.

Hello, my name is Peter and I came into possession of a 64 ft loa Ferro cement Ketch Samson C-Baron last year. And am looking for a solution to bring this ship back to its glory. Which epoxy and paint system do you use for your Ferro Cement ship?

That's Holden?

Hilarious!

Ow could that be my life?

nope this will never happen ever again .... in the 60's people didnt care less building reggulations .... i bet youre not even allowed to sail without electronics or an engine nowadays (might be wrong tho) Politics are killing andventures

Cap'n Fatty is a good story teller in the vein of Patrick McManus. Both are obviously influenced by Hemingway. Carolyn is subjugated to nod and affirm. Memory is subjective. Fatty's advice on sailing techniques and knowledge are indispensable. He has them down. The stories are what he is selling, They are wonderful and fun to read. Did you know that Ernest Hemingway liberated Paris during World War II? He didn't. He made shit up throughout his career. Fatty did too. It's OK. He is still a legend. Carolyn is too.

But mostly the paw paw.

No idea what he's talking about in the end :D

Hell yes my friend. USNA dropout and Big Sur graduate.
