This is our LAST episode in French Polynesia for a while, and it's a pretty fun/sentimental/crazy one if I do say so myself. After 15 years on a monohull, we're finally making the switch to a catamaran....but funnily enough we've actually spent an incredibly small amount of time on catamarans. We've done little sails here and there, we've certainly partied on them a time or two (*coughs* ahemmm, PARLAY 🙈) but we've never properly lived on one and gotten a feel for what day to day life is really like. So we figured it was time to change that, and what better chance to do it then to hang out with our friends Warren & Erica on their boat Va...and what better place than Bora Bora!!! So join us for the experiment as we dip our toes into life on two hulls, it's gonna be a goodie!

"Where's the shade Warren?" Gotta love Sierra!

[keykeypr]

So cool that Sierra is old enough to begin going along on an easy snorkeling mission! So many wonderful things for her to experience for the first time.

Sierra's little "and cut!" and hitting the camera outro is too precious!!!! So excited for DELOS 2.0!

Howdy Delos! I retired today and my search for a boat begins soon! I’ll be visiting Puerto Peñasco and Puerto Vallarta in my initial search. My children will be helping with the search! Can’t wait to see how your build progresses!
Fair winds and following seas!

[mikeallensonntag]

I can't wait to see build progress.

Welcome to Bris and Straddie, little colder than Bora Bora currently but we hope you settle in well and enjoy your time here during your build. Looking forward to watching the journey until you're back on the blue.

It is wild watching two of your fav sailing channels, each from when they first started, have now become best friends in front of your eyes. Great for you both, fantastic for Sierra to be around two more amazing adults enriching her life experiences. Well done Delos and VA. Cheers and fair winds

I think you guys unlocked a new level of chill, sailing on a catamaran

[stefanvanrensburg]

One of the best YouTube channels out there. You're beautiful beautiful people. I get so much excitement watching you're channel since I became disabled in 2019😢. Miss the diving the most

I feel like I met you guys during covid by binge watching past episodes. You were living the sailing life while I was building my 4x4 land yacht. I did solar and lithium power so close to your conversion that we both have been living off grid the same amount of time. Congrats on your next adventure to build an aluminum Cat! I look forward to seeing your build progress. Cheers from AZ desert. I get to escape to a wonderful water adventure with every episode. Thanks!

Man, that beach on Bora Bora and the scenery. It makes me smile to know such beautiful places are out there... 😁😁😁

[KIRALYW]

I hope Nugz gets to visit Wawwen & Ewica again real soon. I love how you bring out everyone’s inner child, Nugz.
Keep using that unicorn magic, little sistar 🌟
What a great episode. Love that snorkel drift. 🤩

Excited for this next chapter. Last week I kept thinking how many times over the years I have watched your haul outs. Thank you for sharing the memories with us!

[Scania]

Nugget at the end of the vlog … priceless. Good luck with the build it will be worth all the highs and lows in the end. You could probably still have a similar electrical system for your sails on Delos 2.0

I find it amazing that all these ships were built in one part of the world or another and then go on these enormous journey's with relatively little technology reltatively routinely. Amazng stories. Considering the age of that wreck it's in really good condition! Be careful talking to people in air pockets - they're usually from exhaled air from divers but as the ships rust/decay they can use up the oxygen in them, if the mixture is hypoxic oxygen will actively diffuse the opposite way through your lungs and youi'll very quickly black out...

Coffee engaged. Friday off and rolling!

[phyllismcdaniel-cook]

It's so good that the whole family is snorkeling together☺️ Your videos are always highlight in an otherwise dull week. Good luck on the new boat.

[ceschias]

I feel that Delos quality channel is returning to it's original level, obviously without taking anything away from Blue and Bryan because I miss them dearly. Your move to a Catamaran is a great one. Love, OsoYolo, Antigua Guatemala.

Just a little google about one from my backyard ;-)

The iron barque Nordby with skipper H. Christiansen was in the archipelago of the Company Islands in French Polynesia, where on 20 August 1900 it sailed from Tahiti 200 km to the northwest to the coral island of Raiatea, to complete the cargo of 120 tons of copra destined for Liverpool.

The next morning the ship arrived off the inlet to Raiatea, where a pilot's flag was hoisted, but no pilot came out and after some waiting the ship nevertheless sailed in through the passage and went to anchor. Ballast was thrown out under a stiff east-southeasterly storm and current, whereby the ship, however, drifted and ran aground on a coral reef.

From the following day, every effort was made to bring the ship afloat, to which part of the crew from a French warship contributed, but when the ship slipped from the reef on 26 August, it sank in deep water, whereby both ship and cargo were lost.

The wreck was sold for 420 francs.
