(water lapping)
- [Brian] It's our first morning in warm, sunny Florida,
and it feels absolutely incredible
to have sailed back south again.
- It is warm,
and nice.
- [Brian] That might be my single favorite thing
about the cruising lifestyle.
You're afforded the opportunity
to experience different climates,
And within a few weeks time
can go from having ice on the deck
to it burning your feet.
- [Karin] We're outside and it's warm, yay!
(upbeat music)
It's so great to have a little warmer weather.
We're barefoot, Sierra, we're barefoot.
- [Brian] They say in order to truly appreciate something
you must go without it for awhile,
and after six months up north,
something so simple as walking around barefoot on deck
becomes a novelty again.
- She's very fascinated in her feet,
because she hasn't seen them in so long.
Just to be able to like have the door open,
and have the hatches open for the first time
in I dunno how long.
(calm music)
Yeah, just to be able to like walk outside with her,
and not put five layers on. (laughing)
I don't know,
it's something magical about warm weather, too,
and this is perfect temperature as well.
Nugs, where are going? (laughing)
Yeah, it's pretty,
pretty special when you haven't had it for a while.
- [Brian] It was an eventful passage from Maine to Florida,
and being here on this amazing morning
was a well earned reward for our hard sailing miles.
(waves lapping)
This is the story of Delos,
a sailboat adventurizing around the world
for the past 10 years.
(water splashing)
And now we embark on our greatest adventure of all.
Come join us, as we take to the high seas
and travel the world with the newest member of our crew.
If you enjoy Delos videos, please subscribe.
It's a great way to support our channel.
(stroller snapping)
- There we go.
(Sierra cooing)
(upbeat music)
- [Brian] Look at that line though.
- [Karin] I know.
- [Brian] Oh, man.
You wanna wait for three hours, Nugs?
(Sierra babbling)
(Brian grunting)
(Sierra giggling)
- [Brian] We can check out the outside.
- Yeah.
- Still be cool.
- Yeah, it's still a nice day for a walk.
(upbeat music)
- [Karin] It's a shame it was like
a three hour waiting time.
- Yeah, I would have loved to go inside,
but three hours of waiting seems a bit much.
- [Karin] Yeah. (laughing)
- [Brian] Yeah.
So Kaz is going to tell us a few facts.
- [Karin] Oh, yeah.
- [Brian] About St. Augustine.
- It's such a pretty nice town to walk around in,
the only thing that I feel is that
this is like the most touristy town
we've seen in a long time.
- [Brian] It's also the height of the height
of the craziness.
- Yeah, yeah,
It's like a holiday season kind of thing.
- [Brian] Yeah.
- So a lot of people around.
So St. Augustine is the oldest
continually occupied city in the United States.
That's pretty crazy.
- [Brian] When did when the people first get here?
- [Karin] September 8th, 1565
- [Brian] 1565, so almost 500 years ago.
- If there was like an attack against St. Augustine,
they could fit all the people in the whole town
inside this fort to protect everyone.
That's pretty crazy.
- [Brian] It's a pretty strategic location,
because with the cannons
they can pretty much close off the river here, right.
- [Karin] Yeah.
- [Brian] So no ships can sail past or they get blasted.
- [Karin] Yeah.
- [Brian] Those are cannonballs, Sierra,
people used to explode these out of cannons
towards each other.
(Sierra babbling)
Yeah, it's old school.
- One thing that I thought was pretty cool
is that the material that they made the fort out of
it's kind of like a seashell mixture,
and it's the only thing they had in the area.
So they don't have any other stones or anything
to make this fort out of.
It's kind of soft, and it leaks a lot,
and you can see a lot of growth
kind of growing into it, because it's so soft.
It apparently stands up really good to canon fire,
because instead of like shattering on impact,
it's like absorbs the cannonball.
- [Brian] That's pretty cool.
- Yeah, it kind of like shooting a BB gun
into like styrofoam,
so it would just like get sucked into the wall.
- [Brian] Oh, wow.
- [Karin] Yeah, so that's pretty cool.
And they've actually never,
I think it was three different attacks against this,
like big attacks, and they never lost.
- Really? - Yeah.
- [Brian] Wow.
So it was built by the Spanish?
- Yes, built by the Spanish, crazy place,
but a beautiful town.
- [Brian] Yeah, it's a nice town.
- It's nice to walk around a little bit.
I don't think we can do much else in town, right?
- [Brian] It's too many people for me,
I don't feel comfortable. - Yeah.
- So we can rest up, stretch our legs.
(soft relaxed guitar)
We made it somewhere, Kaza.
- It's a beautiful beach here.
The sun just went down, and yeah.
I like St. Augustine, it's a good place, yeah.
Very chill.
(soft relaxed guitar)
We have our friends back.
- We're back.
- Oh, my phone's ringing, who could that be?
- [Karin] Who's that, Nugs, who's that?
Hey, what's up, man.
- [Woman] Richards talking on the phone.
He's still on the phone.
(water lapping)
- Hi guys, thank you for watching the video.
If you enjoyed it, be sure to let us know
by liking it, and leaving a comment.
It makes a huge difference to us.
And just wanted to give you a huge cheers,
from our family to yours.
Baby Nugs, can I get cheers please?
- Cheers.
- Where's my cheers, cheers.
(Sierra cooing) - No?
Cheers.
(Karin laughing) Cheers.
Thank you for all the support guys.
- Thanks for the support, sending you much love.
- Cheers.
(Sierra babbling)
- [Brian] Ahh.
(water lapping)
Good morning.
- [Karin] Morning.
- [Brian] You guys feeling rested
after our little stop in St. Augustine?
- Yeah, I feel pretty good, do you?
- [Brian] (laughing) I'm ready to go.
(Karin laughing)
- Yeah. - I could easily
stay here a few days doing nothing,
but I think it's time to hit the road.
- I know, yeah.
(relaxed music)
- Well, we're here, St. Augustine,
and we're trying to work our way down south.
The problem is a lot of the bridges
on the ICW here are, they're too low for us.
So for us, we kind of need to go on the outside,
which is fine because the weather is looking good.
So the wind should be, I mean, right behind us,
it's saying, you know, 10-15 knots.
- [Karin] Yeah.
- And I think we can try and make Cape Canaveral,
and then once we round Cape Canaveral,
we have about another a hundred miles
to get down to an inlet, close to West Palm Beach.
We're just planning on doing jumps down the coast,
trying to get down to like Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale,
so we can see my dad and my brother, which is awesome.
I'm excited to see family.
And maybe we can rent a car,
and we'll go up and see my mom, which will be awesome.
But yeah, that's it.
Anchor light off,
autopilot, bow thruster,
and all the winches, instruments,
radar,
Wi-Fi for navigation,
and then outside power.
You ready to go?
(Sierra babbling)
Okay, put us in gear.
(Sierra babbling)
- Sierra, I have to hold the wheel too,
you're going crazy.
(Sierra grunting)
(relaxed music)
(water rushing)
(relaxed music)
- Nugget.
(relaxed music)
Just the right speed to create the biggest wake.
- [Karin] Hold on, wee!
(wake splashing) Ah! (laughing)
- [Brian] Oh, Nugs, does that scare you?
(water rushing)
(relaxed music)
Not much going on,
I'm like just trying to figure out where we're going.
Looking at charts.
There's too many bridges,
and like it's super shallow in the ICW.
- [Karin] Delos is a hard boat.
- [Brian] Delos is a hard boat for these waters.
- [Karin] Yeah, it's too shallow.
- She's more of like a trade winds,
open ocean cruising boat,
and taking her on all these inland waterways,
and through bridges and stuff,
actually is like not that great.
- [Karin] Yeah.
- Why this is my favorite position.
(Karin laughing)
I can put my feet up here.
- [Karin] Yeah.
- I got my charts, my instruments,
I got a good view.
I like to do research on where we're going.
I just sit here, my feet up, listen to some tunes,
kick back, enjoy the ride.
(water crashing)
(relaxed music)
- Not much wind today.
(relaxed music)
At least it's nice and warm.
(relaxed music)
- Wow, look at that, it's shimmering.
(waves crashing)
(Karin singing in foreign language)
- We've only been at sea a few hours, and we're going crazy.
- The cockpit on Delos is really our outside living area,
and the deck, our backyard.
As the temperatures rose, so did our spirits.
We found ourselves able to spend more and more time outside,
basically doubling our living space.
And there's gonna be a baby
walking on the ceiling.
Bonk, bonk, bonk.
(Sierra laughing)
The prospect of spending quality time with my family
was also something I really looked forward to,
And one of the reasons we decided to press on
making hops down the coast.
Usually we fly through Florida
on our way to, or from Delos,
spending at most a week or two.
But this time we had no agenda, except to take it slow,
soak in the sunshine, and meander south along the coast,
stopping wherever we found an anchorage
we could get into.
(water rushing)
(relaxed music)
- It's so pretty.
- A bird?
Oh, she was pointing at the bird,
not even at the sunset, huh?
- [Karin] (laughing) probably.
(motor humming)
- Hey, so I've been asleep for the last three hours,
four hours, have anything happened?
- No, I finished my series,
that happened,
and we made it to Cape Canaveral, just off starboard side.
We're motor sailing, full jibs out, mains out.
There's a little bit of breeze, not much,
seven, eight knots, maybe.
Other than that, we're in pretty good shape.
(relaxed music)
(zipper unzipping)
- [Karin] Good morning,
did you sleep good?
Cutie pie, you like your tent, don't you?
Yeah, you like your tent.
(Sierra babbling)
You want to come out and have some breakfast?
(relaxed music)
- [Brian] Look who it is.
- Morning.
- [Brian] Good Morning, she got a solid 12 hours, huh?
Good job. - Yep.
- [Brian] Yeah, 12 hours.
- Like always.
- Well we are 46 miles away,
we made good speed last night.
- [Karin] That's amazing.
- [Brian] Yeah, we're right here,
and we're just headed down here to this inlet,
the Palm Beach Inlet.
Lake Worth Inlet, I guess,
then we're gonna anchor somewhere in here,
in Lake Worth, then we'll rest.
Nugs, you're so funny,
you always brighten my morning with your little smile.
(Brian laughing)
(relaxed music)
We made it to West Palm.
Cool, we just got to go in through the inlet now,
and find a little place to anchor,
then it's time to chill, and relax.
It's nice and warm, weather's beautiful.
(motor humming)
- I think the inlet is pretty deep,
and it's not at all like the last one we went through.
I mean you still have to really pay attention,
because it's a lot of boats coming in and out,
but it's a lot less treacherous waters (laughing)
around it, so that feels good.
But I'm just sitting up here
trying to keep a little eye out,
telling Brian when, like boats coming in and out, and stuff.
There's a lot more targets on the radar, huh?
- [Brian] Oh, yeah.
- [Karin] There's a lot of small boats out here.
(upbeat music)
It's crazy how the skyscrapers like go all the way
up to the beach. (laughing)
(upbeat music)
- Nice job, one more on the books.
(Karin laughing)
Up next, we explore West Palm Beach.
Kaza spots her first manatee.
- [Brian] What is that, Kaza?
- It's a manatee.
- [Brian] There's a manatee?
- [Karin] Yeah, right there.
(upbeat music)
That was so cool.
- [Brian] And I continue our search
for a dock space for Delos.
6.5, tide looks pretty high, too.
- [Sierra] Ahh.
(Brian laughing)
- [Brian] I'm so proud of you, ahh.
I taught her that.
- Hey, hey, I have to help you to drive,
you're not that skilled yet.
(upbeat music)
You're not even to two.
(Sierra babbling)
We are living inside such a confined space, too.
- [Brian] Yeah.
- You know, like I think some of the--
- [Brian] You mean like we live on a boat, right?
It's pretty confined. - Yeah, but.
- [Brian] Oh, oh, oh, jeez.
(Karin laughing)
- [Brian] You okay?
(Sierra crying)
- [Brian] Oh, you're fine.
