When Your Tattoo Artist Says OOPS 😳….14 Swallows Later! Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 383 (Patreon)

Ahoy friends!

We're back this week with gem of an episode that will leave you with a smile on your face and lots of giggles.  After arriving to Mexico after our 5 day passage, we were super stoked to dive right into everything this coast has to offer...but mother nature had other plans for us.  What we hoped to have been a little 3 day stop over turned into 3 weeks as the strongest hurricane to ever hit the pacific coast of Mexico in the month of may rolled in to the north of us, and then blasted headwinds in the exact direction we wanted to go for the foreseeable forecast.  But in true Delos fashion, we decided to drink a few beers and roll with it, leading to an airbnb pool party, some tattoos, lots and lots of beer, a trip to Guatemala, and of course boat projects galore.  

One thing we didn't really film and capture that well is that the marina in Chiapas really was in the middle of nowhere, full of bugs (the girls were doing yoga and workouts in the bathroom because it was too many bugs to do it outside 😂), terrible marina wifi that made it extremely difficult to take advantage of all the downtime to get some work done (and our satellite didn't work in that area), stinking hot or pouring down rain...so it was a bit of a drag for sure and we were feeling SO stuck and stir crazy while we were there.  But such is cruiser life, and times like these are the price you pay for all the incredible highs and amazing experiences that the lifestyle can bring.

Many of you had mentioned that you're interested in some more educational bonus content on here, so we're going to release the full weather planning chat here on Patreon on Tuesday so you can really get an idea of what we're looking at and how we make decisions.  Also, after our brief dive into spare parts I keep onboard in this episode, we had the idea to create a video or maybe a document to help guide you in stocking your boat with all the spares you might need...but we want to do this really well and put some time and consideration into putting it together, so stay tuned for that in the near-ish future! 

As usual, we hope everyone has a happy Friday, and thanks so much for all the love and support you give us 💕
