Ahoy friends!  Welp, if sailing was easy, then everyone would do it right??? We had just arrived to the Marquesas Islands after one of our toughest and most mentally draining passages we've had in quite some time.  We were so stoked to make landfall, only to find that our anchorage wasn't all that much better than being out at sea 🙈  We moved spots, but still...THE ROLLS...After about a week of no good sleep, having to hold on while using the toilet, having your breakfast sliding around the table, we had kinda hit our limit.  We were just so tired and so over it, and we had kinda slipped into a funk.  I'm sure you all can relate to that...it's like you have a certain amount of reserves that you can use to cope with uncomfortable or challenging situations, and once you cross that line, the smallest things seem HUGE, and life can just feel really hard.  We did finally bust out our new rocker stoppers that some friends gave us, which did help A LOT.  Plus, we had the arrival of a very special visitor to brighten up our spirits...The one, the only...Mormor!  (We know there are a lot of Mormor fans in here that are gonna be almost as excited as we were!) This totally turned things around for us.  Sierra was especially elated, and it was so special to see the incredible bond they have.  She changed so much since we last saw her in Sweden around Christmas/new years the year before.  We had such a great time together.  And it's also nice for Me and Kazz to be able to have a bit more "adult time" while Sierra and Mormor spend time together...to catch up on work, fix up delos, sleep in from time to time.  It's the little things you know :). Anywhooo, hope everyone has a lovely weekend, and leave some love for Mormor in the comments and we will pass it along to her so she knows how missed she is already!

Big hugs from a sunny island in the south pacific!

Brian, Kazza, & Sierra

Mormor 🙌 always so wonderful to see her join you wherever you are! The Mom Grandma love she brings shines right out on camera💛.

It's always a treat to see Mormor. Especially seeing her get to spend time with Sierra. I saw a po-boy in the beginning of the episode. It's probably not called that in the Marquesas. In our Vietnamese restaurants it's called a bahn mi. Then, near the end, I saw a loaf of French bread. Ironically, the best French bread in New Orleans comes from a German bakery, Leidenheimer's. When I was living in Lafayette, La. I passed a Cajun grocery that made French bread. When the red light was flashing on their sign in their parking lot, hot French bread was coming out of the oven. By the time I got home I was lucky if half a loaf was left. Mardi Gras is next week in New Orleans. For most of the rest of the world it's just another Tuesday.

A little Mormor makes everyone feel better!

Mormor episodes are the best! It's so sweet to see the bond that her and Sierra have. My Grandpa was my best friend and I miss him everyday!

Hello Mormor. Thank you for your sacrifice, hard work, and unconditional love. You have raised an exemplary human being. What's for supper? GO CHEIFS!

Patricia

Watched the whole video and am still sniffling 😭😭😭 over the airport reuniting. Mormor is the best. What a blessing that you all have each other 💙

Patricia

Also... really curious how long it took Mormor to get there!

Krystal Couture

Sierra has such a sweet connection with Mormor~ what a gift!

Brian Travis

Thank you so much for sharing those lovely private family moments... I hope Mormor's time with you was amazing. Have a wonderful weekend.

Ooooo love a good bahn mi 🤤 Good luck with Mardi Gras, must be chaos in your area during that time...you'll have to start throwing elbows to get to the good loafs of bread before the tourists do 😂

Sailing SV Delos

Aw that's so sweet that you have that relationship with your grandpa, we want to make sure Sierra can have too and always make time for visits 🥰

Sailing SV Delos

I know how precious with Sierra at a full sprint across the airport, so happy we have moments like these on camera to always remember 💕

Sailing SV Delos

I'll have to ask for the full break down, but besides being extreeeemely far, there are also limited flights from the main airport in Tahiti to Nuku Hiva, so she had to do an overnight stopover too 😅

Sailing SV Delos

Absolutely melts our hearts to see, and so special to have these special times together on camera too so we can always look back on these moments 💕

Sailing SV Delos

Thanks so much Brian, we're so happy to have you along for the ride with us, and hope you have a great weekend too!

Well, I don't know who Else (short for Elsie?) is but if she's as fun as Mormor - at least from Sierra's perspective - then it's time to have her in an episode! : - )

I spent my summers at our grandparents' lake house with 2 older siblings. When our grandparents retired, we had them with us too. What we did at our young ages on the water and in boats, I don't know how the adults 'allowed' it. Our grandparents were a BIG part of our lives growing up. I have had many loses (family members) since those times and all are missed but, it is MY turn to create memories with MY grandchildren. I was blessed to spend 4 months with them at our FL home last summer. Such good times. We get to video every week. I would go to them (as I did in the past) but, I am medically unable to. Thankful for videos. NOTE: I also 'live' thru your videos! XO
