Previously on Delos
In our last adventure we met some awesome pearl farm workers and picked up some guides in search of the Sacred Cave of Tomolul.
We left the Sacred Cave and our friends at Tomulul bay behind
and set sail east.
We headed away from the main island of Misool and towards some of the smaller,
more deserted places on our chart.
We were searching for a very particular spot.
A spot that would be perfect for Karin to celebrate her birthday.
We wanted a safe protected place to anchor Delos, a white sandy beach,
and preferably a little privacy.
We absolutely love meeting the locals
but sometimes it's nice to relax and chill just by yourself for a while.
After a day of sailing we spotted a sweet looking beach,
just around the corner.
Brady and Josje went in for a look
while the rest of us kept watch on Delos.
The place looked absolutely perfect!
As usual it was way too deep to anchor normally,
well over 150 ft
so we began the process of tying Delos to the cliffs.
Ahhhh. Anchored in another sweet piece of paradise.
Let the festivities begin!
"What a nice birthday card!"
"She's coming" "Ok, is Brady ready?"
♪
"Birthday girl! Come out now!"
"Aww!"
"it's lovely"
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!"
"Happy Birthdaaaaaaaay"
"Brady's eye's are like puffing" (laughing)
We started off with a champagne breakfast
and with a big day planned made some party supplies.
We loaded up Maggie and decided to start with a water sports session.
Using a surfboard without fins isn't as easy, but it's a blast!
Exhausted, we decided to head in to check out the beach.
Hells yea!
This is exactly what we wanted! A sweet little island, and nobody around but us.
What an opportunity to explore!
"We're exploring this deserted island!
Delos is anchored just around the corner there.
And it's really calm and protected and really beautiful. We just walked up this little ridge
and it's like blowing like hell, and massive swells down there
it's really cool!"
Meanwhile back on the beach the girls were getting ready for a little yoga session.
I on the other hand wanted to explore this abandoned fishing hut we had commandeered for the day.
"What are you doing Josje-Ramas?"
"Making a shelter for our bar. Check it out!" "For our bar?"
"Ohhhh! That's sweet!" (laughing)
"Welcome to our deserted beach" "Let the beach games begin!"
(Claps)
Man, it's a good thing we're better at sailing than volleyball!
Karin delivered the coup de grace' with a perfectly executed bikini top take down!
Woah woah woah, what was that bro?
Oh brother, you're so busted!
We spent the rest of the afternoon drinking and burning things,
which in my opinion is a fantastic way to spend your time.
"COME ON! KEEP IT GOING!"

(laughing)
"Brett and Jess.. that's for you.."
"We love you guys"
"Anyway, this was a lovely anchorage..
and it's our last anchorage in Misool, which we're kinda sad about..
"It's just really beautiful, really protected, really flat..
and calm and amazing snorkeling all the way around
"I liked discovering the island
exploring little islands and sweet beaches
we're the only people on it, it's pretty cool, so one of my favourite things.
When we came around the corner, and saw the island, the beach.. I was pretty stoked..
I knew it would be a good place to have Karin's birthday
and we had a bit of a rager!"
"Amazing birthday!" "Yeah, we had the beach party!" "Dance party on the boat"
"It was good" (laughing)
"It started with the pancakes and champagne"
"and then it progressed to.." "You forgot the bacon.." "Oh and bacon!"
"and eggs!..
And then it progressed to more drunkiness and fun and wakeboarding
frisby" "Dirty dancing" "Got an hour long lap dance
by Brian on the boat" "What! That wasn't ... I don't know what happened.."
"We purposely got him drunk!" "My stripper came out!"
"I'd pour everybody's else's drink,
and then I'd put a touch more in your cup" "Oh it's your fault!" "We were trying to get you really drunk"
"All of us!" "Extra double shot for Brian!"
"Well mission accomplished!" (laughing)
We're off to Sarong to buy some things, Nina's leaving
unfortunately.
"Sarong here we come!"
Up Next! We finally catch a fish!
Only to loose half of it to a shark! The crew goes on pirate watch!
And Josje's sister Phoebe joins Delos as new crew!
"POS PENGAWASAN PILAU GAMFI"
The locals here have been introduced to the toxic radiation
from the bomb hole in the centre.
Through running around, things are pretty crazy.
"Have you seen any locals?" "Yeah, there was one on the other side
over there, tried to push me in the rocks! We gotta get out of here man!
I can't live like a cheetah against these guys"
"Giddayhowyagoin?"
"Many people mistake me for Australian"
"But I'm really a kiwi" (laughing)
"Nice Strayan accent" "Accents are similar"
"I could pretend to be an Australian!"
"Why would you do that?!" "Cos we got Australian hats!"
"Who's this guys?"
