After following you for 5 years as I sailed 75,000 miles myself, sadly losing my wife of 46 years two years ago, I am greatly enjoying the new family at sea version of Delos. I thought the hard drinking and rowdy early years were great but... Having raised our two kids on two long and generally lazy circumnavigations, and now being joined on my new Oyster 745 by my kids and grandchildren for another slow go round I really appreciate all your issues with the Nugget and sailing as a couple. We are stuck in Indonesia by the pandemic but are comfortable and well supplied. Be safe. Be well and make the most of this magical time in your lives.

A voice out of the dark hailing Delos and recognizing Brian by voice. Speaks eloquently of the impact Sailing SV Delos has had on people's lives. Thank you, Trautman family.

Well, not so surprising since Brian is the only man onboard.... It would be odd if they thought it was karin on the radio.

Your new credo is "to err on the side of caution". When you had a crew of 5 or 6 adults, you could plan more challenging sails and ignore most weather patterns. Now, keeping family safe may mean less excitement under sail but more time to enjoy each other without the stresses of hard passages. We are invested in your new life. I, for one, don't expect sword gripped in the teeth, mind blowing content. I am here to witness a young family making a life of passages and growing together. Love u guys.

very down to earth comment from someone who can relate to life itself, and not being selfish enough to share the happiness this young family on a boat has. Grats Doug

It's wonderful to see how excited Brian is to be a dad. As a viewer, I can feel it through the videos. It's heartwarming.

You guys might want to consider getting a catamaran, so it will be a little more comfortable for Sierra and let Brady and blu take over Delos. I think it would be great to watch a video from you guys one week and Brady and blu the next. But don’t split into two separate channels, keep it all on this channel. Seeing two different perspectives from different locations on the same channel would be amazing. You guys would be the first to do something like this, I personally think it would make for an amazing channel. Ve con Dios. Remember the most important thing ......... “WE before ME” Love your channel Been watching your show/channel for many many revolutions!!!!

What a difference ten years makes! From chasing a volcano to chasing a nugget. All while following a dream. Blessings upon you, your child, and your journey. Also, hi Lisa. You took my breath away every episode.

Y’all’s baby was a sailor before she was created, she’s going to love her home ⛵️✌️

Baby's sea legs are built in.

Children tend to accept the world as you present it to them. Little Sierra will love sailing as it will be most of what she knows as most of her life. The real test will come as she gets older to see if that love maintains :) Either way, don't worry too much, I'm willing to bet the two of you will present her with an awesome childhood :)

Some other sailing channels I recommend: Sailing Uma- electric motor on a budget Sailing Emerald Steel- older couple living in San Diego on a steel boat they built themselves in the 80s RAN Sailing- Swedish couple, just had a baby How To Sail Oceans- one guy on a small boat with no engine, he sails all over the place on $16k/yr Sailing Soulianis- couple starting out on their first sailing adventure. Distant Shores- OG of sailing VLOGS. have been making syndicated TV programs about their adventures since the 90s, now also have a youtube channel. There are many more sailing channels and most are very good.

Hello Delos crew and passenger, I find myself smiling while I am watching you and the corners of my mouth are connected to my heart. After a questionable start to the season without Brady and Blu and the addition of little miss priss I am still loving the channel . Thank you for being brave enough to put yourself out here and let the world share in your journey. I wish you all continued good health and adventures.

Hope you two and a half are in this for the long haul. You've already seen the lighter side of life with pretty much doin anything you want on the seas, and now your dialed in for the family life. Watched your channel from the get go and it's super cool to see ya all grow with each new experience. We're gonna love to watch you 3 grow on your new journey with the Nugget, and watching her grow up on a sailboat is gonna be the best part of all. Not takin anything away from your channel, but La Vagavond has their little one growing up and it's super fun to watch the little ones spread their wings. Stay strong and don't give up your journey, you'll never regret it.

Brian although I miss seeing the closeness of you and your brother Brady you guys are doing a hell of a job. I hope someday to see the entire family sailing with Brady and blue. They are missed by all.

That little hunk of love don't care where she is as long as you two are there. You guys are her world. Hugs and Prayers ya;ll

I found you guys a year or so ago and invested about 100 hours watching all your episodes and blogs. I have nothing but immense respect for you. However, while I love to sail, I tuned in primarily for the “escapism” factor that you guys provided, along with good sailing/maintenance tips. I especially loved your seasons in the Indian Ocean and along the Skeleton Coast of South Africa. Unfortunately the last several episodes haven’t delivered in these aspects at all. I really hope you add some adventure (land, sea, whatever)and some more technical sailing advice. And some crew. Although you don’t know me, I feel that I know you from these videos (which you ask us to watch for your income from KZread/Patreon) and so I hope you find a way to incorporate the things that enticed me to watch in the first place. Thanks and fair winds.

Your little nugget is too cute for words.

the best part of this whole thing is when Brain has to move the baby's shade to let down the sails. I love it!!!

Never sailed the Ocean but I raised my three on the lake and from what I gather, watching your channel, that baby girl will probably feel more at home on the water than on land. Be safe you’ll.

Thanks guys, wonderful episode. I think the Little Nugget's main issue is teething! I can remember my babies going through that and they suffered greatly. Whiskey is a great treatment. Rub some on her gums and drink the rest and you won't give a darn!!

On episode 190 on my quarantine rewatch lol thank you for making it a little easier! Couldn’t have clicked on new episode fast enough hahaha. Stay safe guys! Love from canada🇨🇦

Nice to see You tree together taking care of each other. Hope You feel the presence of all viewers-if company needed.

I loved following the adventures of Delos! You are wonderful parents, the little nugget is so happy and it'll only be a matter of time until she's at the helm steering us to the next adventure. Stay safe and healthy, HUGS 😊❤🌏☀️🍺⛵⛵⛵🍲🍍

Hi Guys. You know we dont often comment even after all these years :-) Just wanted to say thats a tranquil video that we watched twice. The family format with little "Nugget" is just so enthralling. Sail Safe guys. Ant, Cid and the pooch crew.

Your baby is gorgeous. Long life to you all!. I ve been following you over the years. You're doing great :)

Erm....wow guys. Living the dream, and what a lovely family unit. Incredible how relaxed you all are, I would be in panic mode 24/7 lol. Wonderful channel, thanks for sharing.

I love Delos and her crew love love love you are great. Thank you and i think I have told you my grand daughter in Canada is also a Sierra it she is a Hollie Sierra. Keep well. 🌹🥀🌹

such a great way to start the day with a video of Delos

It is wonderful to see you guys sailing with the nugget. It is a highlight in my week when a new video arrives.

Sweet first ov.nite passage with nugget! Very impressed with Sierra's Dad's music skills! Great sailing parents! Awesome family vibe going on. Great video! Thanks!

Wow, still a great quality video. It's one thing to sail, nap, diaper, but also to create a warm family video. Good job!

I wonder if you have room in your boat for 2 billion people, that would be great! Nooo just kidding, love you guys, you inspire! Fran

I can’t imagine it with a new baby. Well done! We’ve got 2 teen daughters and they’re a huge help. Soon your little one will be changing the oil on the Genny. Well done guys. And thanks for the incredible education. Port and Helen McRoberts. S/V IBIS.

You should definitely start reading sailingtotem.com BLOG. They have also written books on how to sail with kids. They are considered the OGs of family cruising and have a lot of good info on their BLOG and in the books.

Hey guys its definitely a different vibe now but is going to be a blast watching you adjust to a new and different style of life. I believe the little nugget is going to cause you to make a few changes on the boat and its really going to be fun seeing what Brian comes up with. Best of luck, stay safe and healthy. Oh and by the way you know some of us armchair sailors will probably bring to your attention if you are doing something that we may think is not in the best interest of Sierra. So just keep an open mind, listen and go ahead and do what you think is best. You know some folks just try to find something to bitch about. Take care.

4:55 If I had a boat I'd name it "Rick O'Shay" Years ago I went with my dad on his boat down the San Francisco Bay to see the Blue Angles perform for Fleet Week. We were on the south (City) side of Alcatraz with a huge number of other boats. Dad was trying to set the anchor and I was driving the boat but due to the current and a failure to communicate (due to noise) we lost the anchor. So we just slowly motored with just enough speed to have steerage while all the boats that were at anchor crashed into each other as the tide and currents changed. We ended up being better off because we could watch the air show while still watching enough to avoid collisions. And there were LOTS of boats. That is where I got the idea for "Rick O'Shay" My mother (who actually owned the boat) Wanted to name it "Saxon Violence" but dad wouldn't let her. It was a good story how mom ended up owning dad's boat (it was not a divorce prize. My parents never divorced)

The more things change the more they stay the same. Sending Delos love to the three of you and the tribe. 💙

We have never met, but I feel like I am part of your family... Thanks, I so look forward to your Friday post!

One day you will see an AMEL Super Maramu with green sails staying nearby her sister Delos. This we'll meet. Love you guys.

Hello family. I have been encouraged to write to you to congratulate you on the lifestyle you have chosen and to thank you for sharing it with us. This makes quarantine more enjoyable. My name is Bali and I live with my baby Matias who is 9 years old. We live on the Costa Brava, Catalonia, Spain, where you will be welcome if you feel like it. We send you a hug and good winds.

It's awesome watching each of you grow. Brian, leaving your day job to go sailing was the smartest move, but then you're a genius. Karen, saying yes to that guy in NZ who said "Let's have a drink", smart move, and little nugget Sierra is a lucky baby. Happy life to all of you.

Sierra is going to be fluent in Swedish, English and Nauticalish. Great sail and vid.

I would like to suggest if you haven't yet to find and take a good first aid course that includes infants. Years ago while sailing we had a 2 year old boy on board that choked on an apple slice. He survived. He at one point was blue before dislodging the piece of apple. No one onboard was trained on how to properly help the boy. His dad finally inverted him and wacked him on the back hard enough to pop that chunk out and save him. We were miles from any help. As captain it was something I had not considered. I will never forget it. You guys are an inspiration to me and many others Im sure. I always have lower blood pressure after watching your videos. Stay safe, have fun. Thanks JP

I am getting the sense that we are not going to see anyone else on the boat for a while. looks like u 2 are super happy though.

Man I wish I could live yalls life. Even if it was just for a few months to a year. Such a dream scenario to experience! Stay safe!

I wish I could look back on video and see my parents living their dream. What a legacy.

Aaaahh teething happy baby!!! Following seas fair wind....an love,love,love! Thanks for sharing your life with us !!!

Stay calm and carry on momma, children allways adapt. Love you guys

You guys are doing absolutely amazing sailing just the 2 of you and taking care of your sweet beautiful baby!

You two are amazing. :-)

The baby will adapt to life at sea very easily, what a fantastic way to bring up a child, cannot wait to see her blossom, She has Brians eyes too. congrats to you both.

What a Amazing thing you can do with your Family... this is on my bucket list... thanks for sharing your family and your experience with us... be safe and God bless

Pretty obvious Karyn is going to be a wonderful mom. Thanks for the nice video. I'm sure it was a lot of work, but well worth it for us admiring from afar.

⛵ So glad that you had a good Sail. The baby looks like a happy little girl.

You guys are amazing individuals and it's so cool to see your normal lives be so fulfilling! Keep sailing!

So, so cool!! Who can't smile when they see a baby smiling...

Great to see the three of you back on Delos.

Watching that sunrise with you and the baby was magical!

Just started watching. Takes you away from the craziness into another world. Love it. What a great adventure. Saying hi from Newfoundland

When baby’s are teething they secrete an enzyme that breaks down the tissue so the teeth can emerge. Sometimes this enzyme goes through the digestive system and does the same thing at the end. This causes severe diaper rash! The hospital where I worked made a paste of Philips Milk of Magnesia and baking soda and it was like magic how soon it would make the rash disappear! Hope this helps if the need ever arises. Thank you for the great videos!

I was just introduced to you're channel a couple of days ago. I haven't sailed in 30 years. Since watching several videos, I've sold my house 3 times. I think it will all come back to me, well mostly.

Absolute blast watching you get back into the saddle. Fair winds guys and what a future long haired admiral you have in the making. :-D

So glad you guys are back. Great video, plenty of fun times ahead with Sierra. Much love to you both ❤️

A lot of babies really like a rocking motion, so sailing on the boat might actually be a good thing, I think the baby might like it.

I don't think I'd want to be on a boat my entire life but I'd so be down to tag along for a season on a boat like this, seems like an amazing experience. Granted I know nothing about sailing so idk how useful of a crew member I'd be

Love the new videos. It is so refreshing to see all that beautiful blue when i am getting snow in Wisconsin right now. Beautiful family

Delos videos are always exceptional. Really appreciate y’all taking us along on your journey.

My first view. Really well done and relaxing. Thank you. Children read parent energy.... Try not to even think of a worry

Thank you for making these videos, such a nice family.

Your videos bring a lot of joy in my life. I was a little shocked though when you had that guy come on board.

Congrats you two on a safe first passage with little Nuget. I really thought it was going to be popcorn Brian but seeing you hit those noodles with Hot sauce I knew it was all goooood. xx

Ahhh how time flies. It wasn’t too long ago that the nugget’s grandma called cape of good hope...”capes of goods hopes” ... like a superhero’s cape you know ?.

Thank you so much for sharing your lives with us.

She is such a beautiful baby girl. She is going to be truly happy growing up on the water. Very lucky!

Pure heaven, you three. Lots of love coming your way.
