Diving with BLUE SHARKS in the Azores! Sailing Vessel Delos Ep.253

Would you rather dive with sharks or gallop on a horse when you don’t know how!? Well in today’s episode, we get to do a bit of both! We go out with a local dive shop into 600 meters of water and have our first experience witnessing a dive shop chum. We know this can be a controversial issue so we just sat back and learned what we could about the beautiful Blue Sharks that finally built up enough confidence to come say hello :) Blue then convinces Brady to go on a full day horseback ride, and after getting off to a rocky start- Brady morphs from a Cowboy to a CowMAN! Sean then wraps things up with a 101 on how to replace an outboard impeller. Lots of laughs and info in this one and we hope the tribe enjoys this first of many adventures on FAIAL! MUCH LOVE ~ Brady & Blue

This is our story, a story of four souls sailing around the world. It is a story about sailing and travel and adventure. But it's also a story about meeting amazing people and making life long friends. It's a story of people living their lives in an alternate way, in close connection with the beautiful people and amazing planet that we call home. Our experience has affected us so profoundly we want to share it, hoping that others may find inspiration to follow their dreams and do what they love.

My favorite TV show and it's on YouTube! The production values are as good as if not better than most commercial broadcast media. Great stuff!

[GrumpyPenguin]

Been binge watching this channel since I recently discovered it and the cinematography and editing in this season is just amazing! Impossible to tell the difference between this and a full scale production by a professional broadcasting company. Really needing another Blue and Brady adventure with a new crew!

[kbbarton]

It has taken me about 18 months to watch the entire Delos saga and I'm happy to say that I am finally caught up! The only downside is that now I have to wait for new episodes each week. Keep 'em coming - you guys inspire me!

Old school Delos fix it up/repair episode. Love it! Sean fills that role for Brian perfectly! lol

[williamlilliott]

Blue is such a star at whatever she does. Young bucks? I don't get it either. Yeah, right.

[samantharowley]

I am learning you really have to understand the mechanics of a sailboat. So fascinating.

Another great intro by Blue to kick of another great episode of this season of Delos videos. Great diving, super shore excursions, and excellent boat maintenance segment by Sean showing how to service the outboard. Fantastic job Blue, Lisa, and Brady.

I’ve really enjoyed the different vibe on Delos this season. This crew vibes so well together. Another excellent, long, very enjoyable video Blue and Capt. Brady. How many times did you have to remind the boys to stay out of the horses’s mouths? Hands down! Haha! Thanks guys!

Brady, when you ride, you need to give the horse its head. That means don't pull back unless you want to stop. Horses learn from the release of pressure, not the pressure, which they will resist. When you pull back, the bit digs into the bars in the horse's mouth which causes him to throw his head (painful.) Bring your hand forward and don't allow your wrist to move behind the pommel. Keep your shoulders over your hips, and your ankles in line with your hips, heels slightly down. Head up. If you lean too far forward, the horse feels your weight and will be uncomfortable, so try to stay in the center, and relax. That horse would just follow Blue's horse. He wouldn't run off. But if he did, then just keep your hands forward and give short pulls back on the reins, and sit back in your seat a bit. Pull, release. If he still doesn't stop, turn his head to one side. Not hard, but enough to put him in a circle. I trained horses in the Spanish Vaquero style. Try these things the next time and you'll feel like a good rider.

DEfinitely, in this lifetime, I won't be able to visit most places Delos visited. Thanks much for your vids. Keepsafe and enjoy!

the joy in blue's eye's shining through her sunglasses while riding

horses are magic respect !!

[RiggingDoctor]

The shots of the blue shark were incredible! Feels like shark week came early!

[apollo]

These videos should be getting a million views. I don’t understand. People don’t know what they’re missing.
Been here since the beginning and always will be. ❤️👊🏻👌🏻

[SV-DEDICATED]

37 minute episode. Few sailing channels can keep their audience that long. Delos is one that can.

Blue looks really happy during the horse riding. 😀 Obviously she's missing it!

Brady looks almost as uncomfortable in the saddle as I would be. 😂

[thomas]

I caught myself watching the intro, narrated by Blue, with my mouth agape. Truly an amazing land, sea and air adventure preview.

[Marharsab]

This was a fun episode. I loved it when Brady said he didn’t get the joke. What a cutie he is.

[Gardureth]

10 minutes of horsebackriding in a sailingchannel, am i going to watch that?
I'm defenitly going to watch that! :)

[wizardgmb]

I have seen Brady out of his element several times before but always had faith he would master the activity at hand. Brady on a horse, I wasn't sure until the end whether Brady or the horse would win!

[scottmccree]

When Blue said "all day ride" I new it was going to be a great episode! 🤣 I'm surprised I didn't here about any saddle sores, especially from Brady! 🤣
