Learning Offshore Sailing all over again. Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 264

Our first overnight sail with The Little Nugget! We've sailed a lot of miles on Delos in all sorts of conditions ranging from flat calm to storm force winds. But now with only two people and a baby onboard we need to learn to sail differently. We need to find a way to keep watch, get some rest, prepare food, and of course take care of Sierra all at the same time! After a middle of the night departure we find some wind, unfurl the sails, and set out West for a few hundred miles of downwind sailing.

Sending Lot's of Love and hope you guys enjoy the video.- Capt. Brian, Kazza, and The Little Nugget

After following you for 5 years as I sailed 75, 000 miles myself, sadly losing my wife of 46 years two years ago, I am greatly enjoying the new family at sea version of Delos. I thought the hard drinking and rowdy early years were great but...
Having raised our two kids on two long and generally lazy circumnavigations, and now being joined on my new Oyster 745 by my kids and grandchildren for another slow go round I really appreciate all your issues with the Nugget and sailing as a couple. We are stuck in Indonesia by the pandemic but are comfortable and well supplied. Be safe. Be well and make the most of this magical time in your lives.

Your new credo is "to err on the side of caution". When you had a crew of 5 or 6 adults, you could plan more challenging sails and ignore most weather patterns. Now, keeping family safe may mean less excitement under sail but more time to enjoy each other without the stresses of hard passages. We are invested in your new life. I, for one, don't expect sword gripped in the teeth, mind blowing content. I am here to witness a young family making a life of passages and growing together. Love u guys.

A voice out of the dark hailing Delos and recognizing Brian by voice. Speaks eloquently of the impact Sailing SV Delos has had on people's lives. Thank you, Trautman family.

Hello family.
I have been encouraged to write to you to congratulate you on the lifestyle you have chosen and to thank you for sharing it with us.
This makes quarantine more enjoyable.
My name is Bali and I live with my baby Matias who is 9 years old. We live on the Costa Brava, Catalonia, Spain, where you will be welcome if you feel like it.
We send you a hug and good winds.

Hello Delos crew and passenger,

I find myself smiling while I am watching you and the corners of my mouth are connected to my heart. After a questionable start to the season without Brady and Blu and the addition of little miss priss I am still loving the channel .

Thank you for being brave enough to put yourself out here and let the world share in your journey. I wish you all continued good health and adventures.

I’m here after seeing from Exploring Alternatives, I’m 1st time seeing this & My reaction is woow you’re unique man 🙏 love from India

[dragonflygrandma]

That little hunk of love don't care where she is as long as you two are there. You guys are her world. Hugs and Prayers ya;ll

[michaelboso]

What a difference ten years makes! From chasing a volcano to chasing a nugget. All while following a dream. Blessings upon you, your child, and your journey. Also, hi Lisa. You took my breath away every episode.

Children tend to accept the world as you present it to them. Little Sierra will love sailing as it will be most of what she knows as most of her life. The real test will come as she gets older to see if that love maintains :) Either way, don't worry too much, I'm willing to bet the two of you will present her with an awesome childhood :)

It's wonderful to see how excited Brian is to be a dad. As a viewer, I can feel it through the videos. It's heartwarming.

Hi Guys. You know we dont often comment even after all these years :-) Just wanted to say thats a tranquil video that we watched twice. The family format with little "Nugget" is just so enthralling. Sail Safe guys. Ant, Cid and the pooch crew.

[dickthomas]

You guys might want to consider getting a catamaran, so it will be a little more comfortable for Sierra and let Brady and blu take over Delos. I think it would be great to watch a video from you guys one week and Brady and blu the next. But don’t split into two separate channels, keep it all on this channel. Seeing two different perspectives from different locations on the same channel would be amazing. You guys would be the first to do something like this, I personally think it would make for an amazing channel. Ve con Dios.
Remember the most important thing “WE before ME”
Love your channel
Been watching your show/channel for many many revolutions!!!!

[BroomieIam]

Never sailed the Ocean but I raised my three on the lake and from what I gather, watching your channel, that baby girl will probably feel more at home on the water than on land. Be safe you’ll.

[rahdaswami]

Hope you two and a half are in this for the long haul. You've already seen the lighter side of life with pretty much doin anything you want on the seas, and now your dialed in for the family life. Watched your channel from the get go and it's super cool to see ya all grow with each new experience. We're gonna love to watch you 3 grow on your new journey with the Nugget, and watching her grow up on a sailboat is gonna be the best part of all. Not takin anything away from your channel, but La Vagavond has their little one growing up and it's super fun to watch the little ones spread their wings. Stay strong and don't give up your journey, you'll never regret it.

[bimmergeezer]

Thanks guys, wonderful episode. I think the Little Nugget's main issue is teething! I can remember my babies going through that and they suffered greatly. Whiskey is a great treatment. Rub some on her gums and drink the rest and you won't give a darn!!

[roanstephen]

It is wonderful to see you guys sailing with the nugget. It is a highlight in my week when a new video arrives.

[johnd]

I found it funny when you were leaving Antiqua that you commented on all the people still partying. It wasn't that long ago that that would have been you, and Brady, and the crew. Enjoy and stay safe.

[jimposey]

I would like to suggest if you haven't yet to find and take a good first aid course that includes infants. Years ago while sailing we had a 2 year old boy on board that choked on an apple slice. He survived. He at one point was blue before dislodging the piece of apple. No one onboard was trained on how to properly help the boy. His dad finally inverted him and wacked him on the back hard enough to pop that chunk out and save him. We were miles from any help. As captain it was something I had not considered. I will never forget it. You guys are an inspiration to me and many others Im sure. I always have lower blood pressure after watching your videos. Stay safe, have fun.
Thanks JP

I can’t imagine it with a new baby. Well done! We’ve got 2 teen daughters and they’re a huge help. Soon your little one will be changing the oil on the Genny. Well done guys. And thanks for the incredible education. Port and Helen McRoberts. S/V IBIS.
