Everywhere Delos has been. All the countries it has seen. This is the most memorable episode for me. It really shows how Mother Nature can and will show her might. Brian and Brady handled it with grace and poise.

After watching so many episodes over the years, i love coming back to these Indian ocean episodes. The epidemy of wind, ocean, crew and boat. I think the best of Delos. Absolutely love the Amel. SK in the UK.

İt had the best crew chemistry.

I keep coming back to this episode now and then . It's one of your best.

I think the value of the Amel brand just increased. Brian and Frida's testimony of their confidence in Delos is the best endorsement a manufacturer could ever get. Chantiers Amel S.A. owes this crew a lot more than just buying them a beer.

That is one frickin' awesome boat. Wind blowing gale force, waves crashing and person at the helm stays relatively dry. Brilliant!!!!!

Feels so weird to relive this!!! Haha chills... Indeed GNARLY.

it's been a long time since this was filmed and posted, but @22:00 I've got to give Brian and Brady a sincere BZ for sending everyone below and taking ultimate responsibility. True Captains. Cheers all!

The Captain will break before the boat and Delos has a good one. Fair winds.

Fantastic episode guys! We watched it on our boat in the Bahamas, in a 30 knot blow, with a swell coming in the anchorage. Felt like we were immersed in your adventure. Thanks for all your hard work getting these video to us. Cheers from M/V C-Shel!

What a ride. This vid particularly, reminds me of my youth days fishing off the West Coast of Haida Gwaii (Queen Charlotte Island, BC, Canada) 30 days out, without touching land on 54' Wooden Freezer Trawler. In those 30 days we hit weather such as this more than once. 30' swells, Buddy boat ahead of us would completely disappear in the trough's, poles and all until we surf up the side of the wave and catch a glimpse of them until we dive down again. Wooohoo....lets ride. Looks like fun to me. Congrats on spectacular vids, informative and educational all rolled into one.

[Liz] Brady's comment about preferring not to see what the waves were like at daylight RANG SO TRUE!! We had a similar three day experience in the Indian Ocean which tested our mettle as sailors and as a two-person team. Putting your life in the hands of someone else one minute, then being responsible for them the next forges an unbreakable bond. Fantastic episode, and I KNOW it was 10 times worse than the camera showed. Peace and fair winds!

It's easy to forget the inherent dangers in sailing long distances after watching and enjoying all the great videos of the fun stops at isolated atolls...etc. Great job by the Captain and crew of the SV Delos.

Gutsy folks sailing right along at night in 40 knots. In my experience, everything seemed MUCH worse in the dark! So the fact that she can drive calmly and note that "its a bit scary" makes me admire her courage.

I’ve seen this episode several times and it’s probably my favorite. Cool stuff 🤘🏼

We wonder how many times you have all looked back at this video and smiled? - Those long nights are such a drag & scary - You deserve two thumbs up for this for sure - Fair winds from the Caribbean

You make it unbearable to wait for the next episode! By far the best series I've seen on KZread yet.

You hit it right ;) Greetings from Stockholm

Well done Trautman brothers. That constant howling wind can put the creeps in you, but checking the rigging before a long trip and having emergency procedures written down can give you the confidence to see it through. loving the content all the way from the beginning.

I'm watching all the videos for the 2nd time and I love this episode.

Delos is a bad ass boat with a bad ass crew! awesome awesome awesome!

Much respect Delosians. Fine boat ... finer crew ... Well done Capt. Brian

Phenomenal episode. The sound of wind and waves is an adrenaline surge just by watching the video with headphones. I can imagine the actual experience was exponentially greater. Thanks again for taking us along.

Glad to see Brian wearing a life jacket. Serious stuff.

yup, pretty knarly. I was in the navy on a destroyer outrunning a hurricane in the Atlantic. In 20+ foot seas we were taking green water over the bow and 2 file cabinets broke loose and chased me around the shop a bit. We let them have their way till the weather smoothed out a bit. Fun times... :-). Tootles... Wade BeSafe

You are so impressive. In an extreme wind condition, you have the most experienced helmsmen on watch, and you have the biggest hole in the boat, the main hatch, closed, as it should be. Your attention to the safety of the boat and the crew is admirable. Keep up the good work (Yeah, I know this is an older video so in fact you kept up the good work, past tense.) You had adventures and you survived. That is proper captaincy and leadership. Best Regards.

I'm glad to see that you guys and the boat got through that OK. I can well understand about it being frightening with all that noise, wind and massive seas.

This is so much better than watching reality TV. No commercials, no scripts, actual reality and drama that's not fabricated. Thank you!

So I started learning about sailing since watching this channel and only recently read about rogue waves and the conditions in that part of the world. Gave me a whole new appreciation for Delos as a vessel and crew on this leg of the trip. So fucking gnarly

very nice blue water boat. Excellent crew and captain!

Quite honestly, I think this is my favorite of all your videos.

Guys that was absolutely fantastic, I've sailed in some rough seas but that has to be something else, incredible footage, and properly made me feel the power of the ocean all over again ..... fabulous !

Great description of the storm and what it was like sailing it! AWESOME VID!!!

Sure hope you guys keep sharing, I enjoy every episode! Would love to see more of your everyday life and interactions with strangers. Hope you have the wind to your backs and smooth waves!

I just found your channel and videos and wanted to say thanks for taking the time to document your adventures. The team was amazing. This really makes me want to get out in a larger boat and see how she handles.

Just the most awesome sailing video of all time ! Fantastic narration Brian you really brought out the vitality and realism of that epic stormy night wrestling the elements in the dark. Extreme man ! The first time i watched this I nearly had an anxiety attack. I love that intense sailing you's went through . You and your whole are my heroes. The best job of video I've ever seen !

I can't imagine a smaller boat out in that weather, and it's crazy to think much smaller boats have indeed been in weather like that and made it fine! The waves crashing over the beam would be the scariest part I feel like. Great episode.

the use no lifejackets or any other equipment that should be used during bad weather. if someone gets overboard chances they will turn around for him and find him are very low

the best and most spine tingling video so far

That was the most riveting video you've put out. You perfectly captured the tension of foul weather sailing. Bravo!

I have to watch this again. This was the best SV Delos video.

by far my favorite episode

Just. Wow. Love your channel. Really helped me get through a really, really jacked up year. Love me some Delos!!!

ONCE AGAIN A GREAT CREW PULLS TOGETHER AS ONE , THANK YOU ALL FOR DOING AN EXCELLENT JOB WORKING TOGETHER FOR ALL ON BOARD .

So pleased your all safe.. natures fierce and exciting.

Guess we never knew how good we had it, absolutely adored this crew! Ain't nobody capable of deploying that mizzenmast quite like Josje...she will always be so sorrowfully missed as well as Frida and Max too. Can't believe we've had to endure Blue for over two years now, very unfortunate.

Such an intense voyage and I am happy you made it through. One of your best sailing videos showing all of us what is required to make it from one point to another. Glad you all are safe. I was even rocking on my couch with the waves. Stay safe and well.

Force 9 at night and no-one is freaking out: impressive... I have only done that once, but very memorable.

Well done Delos & crew! Never much fun, we experienced a similar strong gale when sailing south to the Canary islands... always good to look back on to tell the stories! Keep up the awesome work, love your videos from South Australia!!

Havent watched your videos ina long while and hearing the intro song is so nostalgic

amazing how you guys read the currents and predict the course! Damn this is real skill as a sailor. Amazing, I love these videos. You now have a FAN! My favorite character is the Captain. He is so freaking Chill and his bro. Ladies are cool too but in that order.

Great video. So real it's surreal. So intense. I'm going to have to watch it again.

Im so glad yall were able to put some video of bad conditions, it makes you appreciate the power of the ocean.......well done crew

Love watching this episode over every now and then. It is a Delos classic. One of your greatest productions. Thanks

INTENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE IT........Either scares you to death or makes you feel really alive going through it...

I love you, Babs!! 😊❤

Greetings from South Africa , Cape Town , keep the sailing coming SV Delos

Ive watched nearly 100 episodes. This is my favourite. Real sailing. Im trying to sleep but getting sweaty

Nothing like a strong breeze to make a sailor. That and a great boat.

Got chills watching this one. Glad you guys are safe.

Exciting episode guys. Absolutely love the show!!! Be safe in your travels. Bryan from Ontario, Canada

epic. good thing you have a good boat and a good brother!

One of the most thrilling videos. You know that anything can happen and it just about is !

Thank you for the temporary escape from my land locked personal hell.

What a wild ride. This video should be part of every cat vs. mono discussion, along with the Cape Town > La reunion vids. Another fun 26 minutes, thank for giving it to us.

Glad you are all safe and well - the noise from the wind was intense, the only time I have ever heard anything like that was up in the mountains in Austria when I was camping in the middle of a lightening storm Stay safe guys and safe sailing

Until that wave washed into the cockpit I was thinking Delos was riding the storm out remarkably well. Still, she seems like a good seaboat, although I'm sure your years sailing her helped a lot. This is one of my favourite episodes so far.

Would’ve had my life vest on! 👍👍👍😎🇨🇱 that’s one scary ride!!

Awesome sailing video! What a great life you all are alive in.

Incredible footage, very raw and emotional. Thanks for sharing....

Looks like you guys passed Neptune's stormy test with flying colours. Good going! Safe sailing and happy adventures to you all!

Respect to the crew, there was no bravado in that gale. The sea after all can be scary as hell.

WOW!!! great episode. I always love to see men and machine working together. I bet it was scary but Delos is a great tough ship. and has a great sheltered helm. I bet you guys feel real love for this yacht. I have the same with my cuddy speedboat when driving it fast in rough weather. it makes you feel a sort of proud because it does so well. Frieda looked hot in her "behind the scenes" shot in the bathroom. i will miss her, Max and the other girls when they get off the boat. Keep up the good work!!!

What an awesome video...one of your best...filled with excitement and the realism of ocean sailing. Great job!

I have sailed into a storm because I wanted to get somewhere. It was so cool. Love sailing the sea nothing like it. It gets in your soul.

I almost forgot how lovely Frida is ....the sounds of the wind remind me of a hollywood movie

i love the narration. That was a riveting adventure -had me on the edge of my seat!

Ohhh, That's scary. We used to sail on a lake in New Mexico. We would get nasty, nasty wind storms. That was bad enough & we didn't have to worry about waves. Glad you all made it through okay. You reminded me of exactly why I will stick to weekend lake sailing. :)

you guys are just getting better and better

ive come back to this after watching #94. glad it was you and not me ... but its cool to watch :)

That was intense just to watch! I can only imagine the thoughts running through the crew minds. Thankfully, the cool headed Captain and crew are experienced sailors. This should be eye opening to all of us wannabees! Have your wits about you before you sail into sunset! Well done guys!

simply awesome guys! Glad you guys made it...

Awsome guys! Glad you're all safe that looks unreal

The shear power of the Ocean combined with Intense Weather Conditions is so powerful, looks like DELOS did Great.

Well done B & B. When the wind is aft of the beam, you need to keep moving. Keep up the courage.

Thanks for posting really awesome footage. Impressive crewing and helming.

Wow... absolute fricken wow! Good job crew!

Hi to you all on SV Delos, It is not as if you had any choice in it, but it must have been pretty scary when you could see the wind and boat increasing their speed, glad everyone is all right! The only advantage is you arrived at your destination sooner eh! Thank you for such wonderful videography.

Gnarly indeed! Glad you guy made it though. What an awesome adventure!

the sound of the wind was insane good job crew happy Thanksgiving yesterday

What a ship! Be glad you were with her.she took care of you.its hard to believe you were going through this storm in a small ,compared to the ocean, sv and she took it like a champ.kudos to Delos!

Wow. Anyhow great sailing, good teamwork, and it's great to see full weather conditions with the boat and crew. Thanks!

wow quite the adventure ride. great job

No one has commented for a while.i watched this one again one of my favorites.and on to Madagascar love it.peace be with you brothers and sisters

The downwind sails look beautiful. Being in that bathroom is crazy movement. "I can't see shit." in there at night. LOL. And outside the sea is frighteningly furious. Thanks for taking us on this wild adventure.

Great boat, greater crew (especially when under some real stress in 40+ gusting) and one of the best videos ever to give a sense of what its like in a big breeze on a dark night - even though video never truly does the sea state justice - and the Super Maramu has such a sweet ride in a seaway, to say nothing of a solid bimini to keep you dry (well dry'ish) : -))).

WOW, I've been thru some wicked storms...on Huge ships...it makes you realize what reality is...it will bond and solidify relationships. I can't imagine riding that storm on a small boat. You guys rock!!

Glad you made it through all that...Great Job!

Good sailing around the cape. Way to go!

best episode ever. Sooooooo proud of you guys. you are an inspiration. much love.

Yup , I keep coming back to this episode ! I love it so much. Cant wait until I get to experience that kind of sailing in my tiny C&C 31 (once I get it in the water) Until then I'm dreaming your life , so keep living the dream Delos
