(waves)
- Good morning, Sierra.
Little early riser.
Good morning.
The sunrise is beautiful.
It's gorgeous. Look at it.
Man, I am absolutely exhausted.
I don't think I've ever been this tired sailing.
It's really a difference being only Kazza and I on board,
first of all, and then being only two people
and having Sierra
to take care of as well
was like, man,
it's tough.
But we're doing it.
You know, it just takes a little bit of
extra time and
boy, I could sure use a frickin' nap or
a good sleep.
But we should hopefully be there
within 24 hours
to Inagua and we're gonna do a really quick check-in
and then after we check in, we'll sleep and rest a bit
and then we'll carry on because then it's another
150 miles, I think, to
our main stop,
where we're going to be chilling for a while,
which I'm really looking forward to.
(energizing music)
We're doing wing on wing on wing.
Which is awesome!
I love downwind sailing.
It's such a difference.
I can't even imagine going the other way!
(energizing adventurous music)
(waves)
We just surfed down this
huge wave
and I saw 13.8 knots.
(laughs)
It like broke behind us, it was crazy!
Right?
(laughs)
The wind is definitely picking up.
It's like, yeah 20 knotts now,
something like that.
So we're going fast. Flying.
- [Kazza] You're not such a good day-napper.
- [Brian] I'm not a good day-napper.
But I need a sleep because I've only been getting
like 4 hours of sleep a night because of
the different watch schedule.
- It's weird sleeping like, I was just thinking about
how people do it when you have like a job that
you have to be
awake during the night and
then sleep during the day.
It messes you up.
You feel like foggy and heavy and stuff and
I guess the movement on the boat as well, but...
Yeah. I still feel like we're doing pretty good, though.
(bright guitar music)
- [Kazza] Do you feel like it's been easier or harder
with the baby on passage, like long passage like this?
- Definitely takes time, right?
- [Kazza] Yeah.
- I mean, she takes up half your time.
The boat takes up the other half.
There's not much time left after that.
- (Kazza laughs)
- You still have to do normal things.
Playing is a little bit harder because
she slides all over the place.
- [Kazza] Yeah.
- [Brian] But, I don't know, it's cool.
(Sierra cries)
Oh, geez.
And then night watch has been exhausting because
we've had to (Sierra cries)
change our watches around
her sleeping and feeding schedule.
I don't know. I mean, we're still alive.
- [Kazza] Yeah.
- Nobody's like going crazy and
I think we're doing pretty good.
So I guess it's easier than I expected.
- [Kazza] Yeah?
- I didn't really know what to expect.
(upbeat music)
(baby cries)
Let's see before we get to Inagua.
We're about 68 miles away now.
So that's 7 knots.
That's just under 10 hours.
And we're going faster than 7 knots.
Oh (mock cries).
(relaxing beat music)
- We're starting to get a bit close to Inagua,
the island where we're going to stop.
We were like 4 nautical miles away.
We have it kind of on our starboard side.
And the
radar isn't picking up land.
Like, I don't know what is wrong with it.
I've tweaked like all the settings and everything
and I reset. Nothing helps.
And it doesn't show any land there so
I don't like just kind of
feeling that the chart is right.
Like, I want some solid proof that it's actually
where the island is.
And it's supposed to be a lighthouse
on the end of the point
that I think I should be able to see and
I cannot see it.
So that doesn't make me feel fuzzy either.
(guitar music)
- [Kazza] Brian.
We're getting pretty close to the point now.
- Oh.
- [Kazza] We're almost here; what's our game plan?
- Uh, well, we came around the corner,
we got the pole down,
jib's up so we're sailing in.
And we're just going to get perpendicular to
where the harbor is,
and then we'll just motor straight up into it real slow
because it's pretty dark, but
I don't see any other boats out here.
That is a pretty easy harbor to approach.
We'll drop the hook
and get some sleep.
(mechanical whirring)
- [Brian] That was pretty good.
- {Kazza] Yeah.
- [Brian] We made--ow, God! The light.
- [Kazza] I know.
- [Brian] We made pretty good time, too.
- (Kazza sighs) Now I need some rest
- [Brian] Yeah.
- [Kazza] Jesus Christ, I'm exhausted. (laughs)
- [Brian] I'll put this stuff away.
(wind)
- Alright, it's morning time and
I've decided to go on a solo mission and
see if I can get us checked in because
if I can get us checked in this morning,
then we can actually leave and we can be
in our destination, the Ragged Islands, like tomorrow.
Which would be awesome and then we wouldn't
have to spend the night here.
So instead of putting the dinghy in,
I'm just going to paddleboard in.
I'm going to run to customs and immigration with
a dry bag and see how quickly I can get it done.
Wish me luck.
(funky piano music)
- Oh, (beep) I made sort of a mess of myself.
But, I don't know what happened.
I got on the board, the boat took a roll,
and it hit me with the paddleboard mounts
and that knocked me right off the board.
Son of a bitch!
But I thought ahead and everything's in a dry bag, so
nothing is bad except me, got a little wet.
Which I will dry on the walk to customs.
All right, here we go.
Thank you! I appreciate it. That's very kind.
Cool.
Nice people.
Thank you so much.
- [Man] Not at all.
- [Brian] I appreciate it. You guys have a great day.
- [Man] Okay.
- [Woman] You have a great day.
- [Brian] Take care. Bye-bye.
- [Man] All right?
- [Brian] Cool.
- [Man] The second one they'll put it on
your second entries.
To get that second entry you just need to keep this
and be back in the Bahamas before 90 days of today.
- [Brian] Okay, thank you so much.
- [Man] All right.
- [Brian] I appreciate it.
- [Man] Enjoy.
- [Brian] You guys have a great one, and
see you next time we're back.
- [Man] All right, good stuff. All right, bye.
- [Brian] Bye! Thank you!
(wind)
(water splashing)
- Okay, that might've been the shortest port stop ever.
In, out. You know what happened to me?
I got on the paddleboard and the boat rolled and
the mount for the paddleboard hit me and
knocked me into the water.
A little embarrassing.
But no harm, no foul.
And we're off. Next stop, the place you've been
looking forward to all season.
- (Kazza cheers)
- Yeah. All right. Here we go.
- [Brian voiceover] Our visit to the Ragged Islands was
cut short last year because we needed to park Delos,
jump on a plane, and go have a baby.
But during the short time we were anchored in the Raggeds,
we fell in love with the beauty and isolation of
these islands.
So when it came time to make plans for the season,
both Kazza and I agreed to do our best to stay longer.
With our freshly stamped visas
and 3 months provisions on board, we were
eager to make tracks and settle in for some
uninhabited island cruising.
(bluesy music)
- We're cruising, making 7 knots,
bopping along, ETA tomorrow morning, like early.
- [Brian] Look who's awake!
- Had another squisher.
- [Brian] Did she? That's 2 poops today!
It's a good thing I just did diapers.
You know how many diapers we've used
in the last day and a half?
I counted 22 diaper pads and
4 of those big square ones.
- Yeah.
- [Brian] Which means we've saved 26 diapers in
a day and a half.
- [Kazza] I can't even imagine doing it with disposals,
like where would you put them, right?
- [Brian] We'd have bags of shitty diapers like literally
stuffed all over the place.
- Ew.
- [Brian] Oh, gross! In the tropical heat!
- Ew. Ew.
- [Brian] Whoa!
That's pretty nice!
- [Brian] Good morning nugget! Good morning!
Did you sleep good?
- I cannot believe she slept through last night, though.
- [Brian] Yeah, why?
- There was a few--there was one wave, I think it put
two bucket-loads of water in the cockpit.
- [Brian] Nu-uh.
- It came like from the side, it hit right here where
she was sleeping, and it was literally like a
gunshot, like bam, through the side and it went like
splash, poof, straight into the cockpit.
And she slept through that.
I was like, now she's going to wake up
And she didn't.
- [Brian] Good job, nugget.
- Yeah.
- [Brian] Well, we are 7.2 nautical miles away.
- Okay.
- [Brian] So that's the good news.
- Do you want to lie down for a little bit?
- [Brian] Yeah, I was just going to ask you, because
I'm like super, super, super tired.
- Yeah.
- [Brian] And I was thinking that most of the accidents
I've heard happen at this time when you're tired,
when you're making landfall in an unknown place and--
- Yeah.
- [Brian] I would like to get rest,
even if it's for an hour.
(guitar music)
- Oh, I'm so excited to get there.
It feels like a really big achievement, too.
To kind of have this longer passage down and
we did it with just the two of us and Sierra.
I was pretty nervous, to be honest, but
I think we did really well and we just did it differently,
you know? More flexible schedule,
just going more about how Brian feels, how I feel,
then you sleep accordingly and try to support each other
and respect each other in that we both need sleep.
Now we're going to get here and we're going to chill
and it's going to be amazing.
We have so much good food, and just going to be
the two of us and Sierra and beautiful beaches
and crystal clear water, which I am very ready for.
(laughs)
Are you ready for the beach?
- [Kazza] Getting closer!
- I am so excited, Kazza!
We've been I think looking forward to coming to
this particular spot all season, right?
- [Kazza] Yeah.
- [Brian] It's right in front of us and we're coming in
through the pass.
The weather is beautiful, the nugget is sleeping, and
all is looking good.
(blues music)
- [Kazza] The water looks really clear as well.
It hasn't changed much (laughs)
in the year we've been gone.
It looks amazing.
No one here but us.
4 meters under us and
it looks like we're going to hit ground.
( laughs) The water is so clear.
(mechanical whirring)
- (Kazza laughs) You can see it hit right there.
- Nice job, Kazza. That was amazing.
That was a long sail for just the two of us
and a baby nugget.
- [Kazza] Did we do pretty good?
- We did really good.
So we went a total of 610 miles
in 87 hours
for an average speed of 7 knots. Just over 7 knots.
That is really good, to have an average speed that high.
Pretty happy with that.
- [ Kazza] Yeah, we were flying.
- Yeah. So nice job, Kazza.
- [Kazza} Nice. Yeah.
- Give me hugs. (groans) Oh, oh.
- Thank you guys so much for coming along on this passage.
It was a really nice sail.

- Bye.
- [Brian voiceover] Up next on Delos,
we begin our exploration of the Ragged Islands.
- It has been so long since we've been someplace
where you can actually do this.
- Crashing us around (playfully yells)
(bomb noise)
Oh, no! Not the Go Pro!
Business in the front, party in the back!
- [Kazza] Look at that!(laughs)
- Like it? I like it a lot.
