Happy Friday Friends! Our latest and greatest adventures (and misadventures) are ready for your viewing pleasure! This week's episode finds us right where we left off last week, in the middle of a crowded and rolly slighly poo colored anchorage in Hiva Oa, only this time, we have a surprise addition to the mix that really took things to the next level. Once again we hit our limit (this has been happening a lot for us lately in the Marqueasas Islands 😂 ), and luckily the weather was in our favor to get outta dodge! Cruising can definitely be tough, but that's one thing that's pretty awesome about being able to take your home wherever you want...if you don't like your backyard for the day, move on to the next one...and mannnnn did we hit the jackpot with our next stop!

In other news, we are currently underway towards the Society Islands again, which feels so crazy! It's been nearly a year for us in French Polynesia, and it really has been such a journey...soon we will start prepping Delos to be hauled out, and the real work of making our Delos 2.0 dreams a reality will begin....can't believe it! But anyway, more on that to come soon!

Big hugs from the open ocean 🫶

Brian, Kazza, & Sierra

john eikevik

Wonder how the sacrificial zinc anode works on an aluminum boat bc you can't have dissimilar metals touching?

Sailing SV Delos

The whole banana bread scene was just too cute, we were giggling the whole time going through the footage of her coughing in the flour and getting totally excited about "BACON" powder 😂 Will have to check out the link you sent too!

Lisa & Claude

That was awesome loved nurse Sierra and the boo boo kiss and the out take with her saying doing her job priceless also loved underwater take care

Bonne Mike

Sierra: "Just doin my job" ......... what a sweet girl. The look on her face when she has Kazza's finger is fixed .... is priceless. Great edit ... to have the dual scrapings. Keep 'em flyin

Christopher Larsen

Just like to say, my Patreon donation is always worth it. Your videos brighten my day. Thank you for the effort you put into each of them, I know it is probably a struggle sometimes(often?).

Bill Dapp

I'm stoked to hear Ramukanji again! Yay! Sierra is becoming a wonderful young lady and provides laughs to boot!

Sean Murray

Hmmm, bacon powder. Might be onto something there. Starting my day of housework with a smile! Thanks guys!

Tom Caban

Got a chuckle out of the transition from scraping banana bread mix to scraping the prop. Nice little touch in editing 🤓

Marisa Conner

What a beautiful new anchorage and that banana bread looks amazing! Can you share the brand of you beach chairs you have? I’m looking for some and always admired yours. Thanks!

Jerry Roush

Hey Marisa, Sure- Here's the link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07R9TGCT6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1. They work great although in the saltwater environment and sun we find they last only about 2 years. We're on our 2nd set, but we like them enough that we just buy new ones.... If I were to buy them again they do offer a high back option, and if you have space for that it gives you a little more support on your neck and head.

Sailing SV Delos

Yes exactly, that is an excellent question. In order for the sacrificial zinc to do it's job it must be connected to the hull, which in turn should cause a dissimilar metal problem.... I'm sure someone out there has the answer! Lot's to learn :)

Sailing SV Delos

Hey Christopher, thanks so much we really appreciate that! Yes sometimes it is a struggle and feels like so much. But then we get nice, kind comments like this one and it puts things into perspective so thank you so much!
