Ahoy Delos Tribe, we are beyond happy to present to you our much anticipated arrival back into the Tuamotus, specifically the truly magical atoll of Raroia.  This is now our third time here (We stopped here last year between the Marquesas and Society Islands, then on our way back to the Marquesas, and now on our way back to the Society Islands again) and honestly the third time really is a charm…don’t get us wrong, we fell in love instantly the first time we arrived, but after spending months in the Marquesas (which was a very tough time for us and our sanity) this felt like we had died and gone to cruiser heaven…this place truly is the epitome of everything we look for in a destination, and the pure bliss and excitement we felt on our arrival was next level.  We hope we can share some of the love, energy, sunshine, and incredible high vibes with you on this beautiful Friday!  

And in other super exciting news, we are actually writing this out and scheduling this post a day early because we are officially ON OUR WAY TO AUSTRALIA!  We really cannot wrap our minds around this…after so many years of imagining, planning, and dreaming, it’s actually happening!  It’s gonna be looong road ahead, but this definitely feels like a giant first step.  Besides just how cool it is that we are going to be building our dream boat, we are also looking forward to a little bit of a change and a challenge.  After so many years on Delos, sailing and the problems we encounter have become pretty second nature for us…(of course we get our fair share of curve balls that keep us on our toes 😂 ) But we are actually really looking forward to diving in to something totally new and out of our depth…challenging ourselves, learning new skills, gaining new perspectives, making mistakes.  We look forward to sharing it ALL with you too!

Sending our endless gratitude to each and every one of you for making this dream a reality <3

Brian, Kazza, & Sierra

Thank you for the new video … you guys never disappoint

Mike TopCat

Look who’s there Papa Delos. (At least his picture is)I received my T-shirt last week and it soft and comfortable. Love the graphics.

Mike TopCat

Can’t wait to see you in Australia

Scott C. Wise

Will watch, . . . just slightly delayed. Have watched now entertained.

Nancy D

Still, after an stellar video, the part that ALWAYS makes me smile is the "Whoo hoo" at the end! ❤️

Bassman

Heck yes!!! TGID. (Thank God it's Delos)

Mike TopCat

Love the look on Sierra’s face when she was flying the kite priceless

Brendan Gregory

I see that Stradbrokeyachts is coming along nicely on putting together Delos 2.0. I notice that everything is tacked together and waiting for Kazza to get to work welding up all that aluminum. It would be interesting to see how many linear feet of welding will be required. That's one of the figures I used to estimate welding costs in our fab shop.

Yoohooo it is Ramukaji🥰 and please keep Sierra riding her bikee on deck as Long as possible👩🏻‍🦰👩🏻‍🦰👩🏻‍🦰 Paradise indeed 🌏🌏🌏

Summer is coming up here - was able to find some theme music for the backyard terrace on iTunes: Laikipia, "Down Down". Mrs. is officially rolling eyes on me! One of the things you and crew did for all those years was bring to light environmental issues, conservancy, and even societal concerns all around the world. I know you will be grinding (literally) in the yard for long hours but I hope you will be able to enlighten us with those issues that QLD and Australia are experiencing?

What a blessed life you are living in that Atoll. Sierra has seen enough parties in her short existence to know what those pesky hermit crabs were up to ...... Crabstock .... A Party! Make sure she learns that ... "you have to fight .... for the right .. to PARTY!" May the Powers that be keep you safe on your travels to Down Under ....... near where your love bloomed. Keep 'Em Flyin

Lisa & Claude

Wow loved the video Sierra is growing up so fast wishing Kazza a very happy Mother’s Day safe travels hope you enjoy as the new chapter continues to unfold

Mike TopCat

Wow, that would be scary for them to add that all up and put in dollar amount. It's kind of like if you're a boatowner you never add had up what you spent because if you do... well, you know.

lowell mccormick

That's why the most expensive metal in a metal fab shop is the welding wire. That's because of the cost of the associated labor to apply the welding wire.

Thomas Riley

That cover shot literally looks AI generated!

Sailing SV Delos

Yes exactly! Kazz has her work cut out for sure, she is a total natural! Yeah that's a really great question about the linear feet of welding, I bet we could figure it out!
