WOW we can’t believe this episode is finally here! When we first started posting videos over a decade ago, I could have LITERALLY never imagined not only that I would end up circumnavigating the entire planet, but that millions of people around the world would have followed along on our voyage. It’s incredibly surreal, and even looking back on the episode now, I’m still at a loss for words to describe how it feels.

But one emotion I can most definitely pinpoint and express is gratitude- to you, our amazing Tribe who has supported us at every step of the way, to Karin for loving me unconditionally and sharing this wild adventure with me, to Delos for keeping me safe and taking me to the most insanely beautiful and far-flung corners of the globe, and to the 69 crew and the thousands of friends we’ve made along the way that have made this voyage what it is.

We are incredibly proud to share this episode with you, it’s been one of our biggest creative undertakings yet, and an incredibly personal one too.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for coming along on the ride with us. We hope you enjoy <3

Brian, Kazza, Jordan & Sierra

Thanks for all the hard work you've done that allows us to tag along. Geography was always my worst subject in school. Now I feel that I could compete on Geography Jeopardy. Brian, I think you had a world map posted of your journey with links to each video along the route. Is there a link to that?

Michael Palmer

That photo on the left! Sorry Brian, but that is some serious Corporate Geek. Duly washed away by the sea! 🌊.🤣 🌊

Nancy Jobbins

Wow, that got me emotional! Congratulations 🎉 So happy for you 🥲

Michael Conway

Best episode yet! Congratulations and thank you for sharing you're wonderful life. Your experiences inspire so many. You inspired me to buy a boat, for one, and I don't know if I'll circumnavigate, but I know I'm going to experience some ocean sailing before I go! Cheers!

Dave Crombie

Congratulations again!!! So nice to see you all in Annapolis.

Jsc

This was just amazing. Congratulations on a truly spectacular accomplishment!

Jennifer Moore

The video is fantastic and an amazing tribute to your accomplishment. Can't wait to see the next adventure!

Bonne Mike

It seemed like a normal adventure ...... but when you sailed in under color of Flags ........ and were greeted by the Tribe ....... even this old soul shed a tear of happiness ...... for your fantastic journey. Fair Winds .... and Keep 'em Flyin.

larry kay

Super Congratulations!. What a wonderful ride and thank you for sharing it all with us.

Stéphane O.

I've been following you since the 2nd episode, these last videos bring back so many memories, maybe I will binge-watch them again...

Skip Vail

Wow.....what an amazing evolution of life (yours). Not many humans have the guts to do what you did! I know, ain't done yet...or even close, but I see a book deal, movie rights and who knows what else? Must be kinda weird to even think about but GO for it dude! What hooked me on y'all several years ago was "buy us a beer"! That's it! Come up with a Delos beer!!

Bill Dapp

Wow! What can you say other than congratulations! Very impressive! You left Seattle a young man and now you are a true salty sailor, superb husband and father and an inspriration to all! So proud to be a small part of the Delos tribe. Now to continue and get Kazza her circumnavigation.

Andrew Cousins

Hell of an achievement. 69 crew, 387 episodes, 46 counties. Not bad for a guy who set out for 18 months! The project you have created, the people you have brought on board, has given tens of thousands of people real joy and insight to the sailing life. That's a positive contribution to the world if there ever was one. cheers Brian.

Victoria Makris

Wow - what a miraculous journey and accomplishment and such a beautiful video to summarize it all. Congratulations! I'm so inspired!

Jeff Mack

One of your best videos ever and fitting for the occasion. Keep on sailin'.

Owen Dominick

Thank you for taking us along with you. I teared up when the welcome crew showed up. To many more miles!

Clark Robins

At some point, I would expect to see you lose a step, but NOOOO! My hat is off to you Capt . Thanks for helping to keep the fires lit in the bellies of those of us in the fourth quarter of the game. That our paths shall cross at some point, Cheers

Bill O'Neill

I'm not crying, you're crying!!!! Congratulations, Captain!!!!! Thank you for letting us be a part of your amazing journey.

Lisa & Claude

This was an awesome video ❤️

Daniel James

Well done Captain! Thanks so much for sharing it with us! NOW - time for Lap 2!!

Sailing SV Delos

Thanks Michael, so happy you enjoyed, and so stoked you got your own boat! Fair winds and hope to see ya out there in the big blue :)

Sailing SV Delos

It was a pretty emotional moment for everyone, glad you enjoyed. And thanks again for the tasty gifts in Annapolis 😎

Sailing SV Delos

Thanks so much for the kind words Bill, yep once we cross the pacific next year Kazza won't be too far from her circumnavigation :)

Sailing SV Delos

Yes it was such an emotional moment for us too to hear all the horns start sounding off all around us. An unforgettable moment I will always cherish

Sailing SV Delos

Thanks Daniel! Well Kazza's getting pretty close to her circumnavigation...and once we've gone that far we may as well keep going for Sierra's circumnavigation 😂

Bart Casey

Love it!!! Thanks for sharing this awesome journey!

Richard S Florence

Such an awesome accomplishment congratulations. What an amazing thing you all have created. The Psymbionic balance from what you’ve achieved with our help and what we’ve gained from your awesome life being chronicled so well is truly a gift. keep it rocking on.

Rune Bjørnstad

First of all congratulations to you Brian! What an amazing achievement. Sailing around the world is no small feat, but living in such a small space, with varying crew, raising a family and still keeping calm after 13 years - that’s bordering on super-human. I’m looking forward to following you on the next lap too.

Bernadette Roffe

Wow amazing achievement. Many congratulations 🎉

Brian Travis

I'm at a loss for words as well mate.... you are an inspiration. Thank you for sharing.

Brian in Boston

Congratulations Capt’n Brian, and thanks for inviting us along for the journey. The inspiration and education have been invaluable, enough for me to change course and plan my own sailing adventure. BTW, what port was that in Mexico? Looks stunning!

Dan Moss

Congratulations cap’n! What an amazing video. It truly captures what this family is all all about. I was lucky enough to meet you and your family in Annapolis on Saturday night, and you all were so generous and kind. Everyone took time to talk, shake hands, and take pictures. Every soul there was wearing huge smiles, and that says it all. Thank you Delos crew and tribe. Looking forward to Karin’s circumnavigation “soon”. Can’t wait to ride with you. Fair winds.

Marisa Conner

What a wonderful summary of your amazing circumnavigation! I got choked up at the end listening to you talk about all you have gained from this experience and your appreciation for those who were with you, especially your precious family…keep sailing Captain Brian, Kazza and Sierra!

Mike TopCat

I’ve been a part of the Delos tribe a long long time and I feel so happy for Brian Kazaa and the Nugget (not forgetting Jordan too) Such a huge journey for all the Delos Crew members that took Brian all around the world!

Scott C. Wise

I've watched it and enjoyed it very much. It was great seeing all of you in Annapolis too! Have you gotten to try the Horseheads Brewery 2x IPAs yet? I also hope the beer steins held up to travel.

Ray Lehman

Adding to all the others' congratulations , Brian! Happy for you and for your family. As expressed in some parts of the world.....Well Done! All the superlatives apply. Your idea to share your sailing journey has been a joy to many. To paraphrase another world traveler who says "keep on traveling" in your case keep on sailing. Stay well and safe.

Tom Caban

Congratulations on this remarkable milestone, and thank you for sharing so much of your incredible journey with all of us through the years. There is no way to quantify the inspiration you’ve provided to many of us, or to calculate the amount of joy & simple happiness you’ve sparked each week by giving us a glimpse of what you’ve experienced through this most extraordinary voyage.

Wendy Pyle

What a wonderful celebration and such a milestone too. Congratulations! I want to take a moment to thank you, Brian, Kaza and lil nugget. You bring me such joy each video you shoot, sharing your sailing adventures, both the good and the bad. I fell in love with sailing when I took a red cross sailing course when I was 18. I have loved it ever since. Time and age have not been a good thing for my body. So sailing would not be possible right now. However I can experience everything wonderful through your videos. Getting to see all the fantastic ports of call. Brian, I'm so proud you left all the "Comforts of you average life" and really were brave to do your own thing. Such a thing too. Your name should go down in the annals of time for having completed such a monumental journey. Thank you for everything you and your family and crew do on the daily. Sincerely, Wendy P

Michael Williams

Seeing all the colors flying, I actually choked up remembering days long ago, with passion unbridled, and a spirit as new as the sunrise. Well done shipmate, well done! And special attention should be paid - as Wendy Pyle suggested - in the annals of time all of your efforts to give back to this shiny blue globe, your ecology & environmentalism, and your philanthropy. You met people from all walks of life, on the ground at eye level and gave respect out like a currency. No doubt even Magellan is wishing he stopped to smell the roses more!

Patricia

🥳🙌🏻♥️🙏🏻

Scurvy Dan

This is a monumental moment in life. I am super stoked for you Brian. One in a million. Cheers brother!

Mickey Finn

WOW.....what a great video companion to the seminar last week in Annapolis. Cant tell you guys how much fun it was to see you again at the Sailboat show. You go so far out of the way for your Patrons..., its no wonder you have such a huge following. As for the seminar, a high point for me was sitting next to Mormor and Sierra (at least for the few moments she was still ) Hope you all arrived back to Delos safely, and best of luck with the yard work. See you on the next tack !

Jenessa Johns

Pretty amazing adventure! Congrats!!!

Shelly Ackerman

Congrats! So so proud of you Brian!! Way to go!!! All of you, but what an accomplishment!!

Charlie Hill

Congratulations!! Can’t wait to see where Delos is headed next.

Greg Zivic

Brian, congratulations man, this is such a great accomplishment. I’m so happy for you and your family and wish you all the best as you continue on

Sam Gardner

Wow - Goes to show you what following your dreams can become

James Owens

So Amazing!!! Have to admit I teared up a bit on that one!!! So Many awesome memories and heck I wasn't even there! Congratulation's Brian, Wonderful family.. and the Delos Tribe :)

Andrew Lee... lost, at sea!

Brian you have created a story. A story of your life. A story of your dreams. Along the way you have also created a family by joining together with Karen and together you have created a beautiful child. Your story is awesome and uniquely your own. One that only you can tell from your own perspective, and I am grateful that you have shared. (my eyes went all leaky watching this one) Stay Salty

Ashley Simms

I love the reflections that you've shared here and with the discussion at the Boat Show. It's so amazing to see everything you've accomplished and how far your journey has taken you!

William Flower

Kazza, your spoken tribute to Brian's circumnavigation made me well up and cry, it was so beautiful and well said. It perfectly summed up the moment and the triumph of this man. And in the process, he brought back the ultimate sailor's treasure... a Swedish princess and a lovely daughter! An amazing story and yet brought to life before our eyes. Fair winds always... :)

HappyRock616

There should be an asterisk on this video like a diet commercial: Circumnavigation results may vary Not all circumnavigations result in Swedish wives Average result includes beer gut and small bank account and couples counseling. 🤣🤣🤣 Congratulations 🎉, wonderfully well made video that wraps it up nice. I've had a lot of personal friends that sought extraordinary adventure lifestyles. So much could be written on the topic of deciding to start alone, and I think this video covers that well. The trip usually overshadows the start, but the start is actually the biggest part of it all.

SV Trippin'

Congratulations super awesome video and I think possibly one of the best circumnavigation‘s ever the longer the better enjoy the ride. Best wishes to you and the rest of your family on all future adventuring cheers🥂

Click Boom Sail

That was an epic episode! Brought a tear to my eyes. The animation was fantastic. I've seen every episode, they all inspire in different ways. Much love to you all.
