- After months of preparation, we find ourselves
in the incredibly beautiful San Blas Islands of Panama.
It's a place lost in time, filled with uninhabited islands
and where the Kuna people still travel
by traditional kayukas.
Where the horizon stretches as far as you can see
with places begging to be explored.
And the crystal clear waters are teaming with life.
So if you're fortunate enough
to find yourself anchored in a spot like this,
and had a week to do anything of your choosing,
what would you do?

- [Brian] What are you guys doing?
- [Karin] We're having balloon toes.
- [Brian] Balloon toes?
- [Karin] Now look at those.
- [Brian] That's incredible.
Do you have balloon toes, Sierra?
- Yes.
(parents laughing)
- [Karin] Do you wanna do your other foot?
Does it feel funny?
- Nice.
(Sierra speaking gibberish)
- [Karin] Oh.
My other foot, I'm missing balloons.
(upbeat music)
- We got everything for a mission today.
We're gonna bring in slack line.
We got chairs.
We got a cooler. We got the drone.
We got the cameras.
We got the GoPros.
We got the baby. And sunscreen.
(engine humming)
- Ah. We did it, Nuggs?
- Go daddy.
- Yeah, my god, it's so crazy.
(upbeat music)
- Daddy.
- Hey.
(Sierra speaking gibberish)
Wee.
The small cluster of palm-filled, uninhabited islands
is known as Coco Bandero Cays.
And it's arguably one of the most beautiful spots
we've ever had the good fortune to call our home for a bit.
(upbeat music)
(Sierra and Karin speaking gibberish)
(upbeat music)
The islands are protected by a gigantic barrier reef.
So even though you can hear
the pounding of the ocean swells,
the beaches and water surrounding these islands themselves
are crystal clear and absolutely perfect
for a refreshing dip.
- Whenever you think about cruising on a sailboat,
this is it.
Crystal clear water, palm trees, sandy islands.
Like not that much people.
Yeah. it's very special. It's a very special spot.
(upbeat music)
- [Brian] That nice?
- Yeah.
- [Brian] Gimme that swimming action.
(upbeat music)
- What? - Cool.
(Sierra laughing)
- [Brian] How's the water?
- It's so clear. The pool is amazing.
- [Brian] You have a good snorkel?
- Yeah. Backtrack.
(upbeat music)
- [Brian] How long do you wanna stay here?
- I don't know.
I think it could be cool to maybe like
just stay for a week and just like
sink in a little bit.
- [Brian] Like sink in?
- I don't know if that makes sense.
- [Brian] Like literally sink into the sand.
- Yeah.
- [Brian] I'm all for that. What do you think Nuggs?
(Sierra speaking gibberish)
(Brian laughing)
Nuggs is all for it.
- We can spend a week in paradise, right?
- [Brian] Yeah.
- And just eat lobster and you know?
- [Brian] Yep.
- I think that could be really cool.
- If I had my dream on paradise, it would include
maybe setting up the slack line.
I wanna swim around the island.
That seems like a pretty good goal.
And if the skies are clear,
I would love to do a night time-lapse.
Maybe we could have a fire.
I saw there's a fire pit over here.
- [Karin] Oh, there's a lot of things on our schedule.
- [Brian] Yeah. But that's about it.
Just enjoy the quiet.
Today's video is sponsored by Battle Born batteries.
Delos has been powered by Battle Born lithium batteries
for over three years now and we'll never look back.
Lithium batteries are a serious game changer for us.
We installed eight 100-amp-powered batteries
and it's more than enough power to run Delos,
and she's a pretty electric boat.
After the upgrade, we were able to completely ditch propane
and go with all electric induction cooking and oven,
which means more time in paradise and less time in port,
which is what we're looking for.
- Battle Born lithium batteries
have a tremendous usable capacity.
With the old lead batteries,
when I took 'em down to like half capacity,
like 50 or 60% of use,
I knew that I was damaging the lifespan of the battery.
With the lithium batteries from Battle Born,
that is no longer an issue, so that is super cool.
So if you're looking to supercharge your energy storage,
head on over to svdelos.com forward slash battleborn.
Have a look at the products that are offered.
You will not regret it. They are a real game changer.
Thanks very much and back to the show.
There's a shark out there.
Are you chasing a shark, Kaza?
- There's a shark right here.
(upbeat music)
(water gurgling)
That's cool, Sierra. It's our first shark here.
That's exciting.
This is a what?
Did you see the shark?
(Sierra talking gibberish)
Where is it? It's right there.
See the shadow?
See the shadow there?
The shark.
It's a nice shark.
(water splashing) (upbeat music)
He's too fast.
- [Brian] Did it come close to you?
- No, not really.
It comes like a few meters away
but it's impossible to get with a GoPro.
- [Brian] What kind of shark is it?
- I think it's an earth shark.
- [Brian] An earth shark? - Yeah.
- [Brian] Did you see a shark, Nuggs?
(Sierra speaking gibberish)
- He was really fast.
- [Brian] He was fast.
Good job. That's cool.
I got a good shot of him with this, though.
You can still see him out there.
- [Karin] Certainly. I kind of wish.
(Brian groaning)
- [Brian] Pick it up. Come on, you can do it.
(Brian groaning)
Okay, here, lemme help.
Ohh, here you go.
It's too heavy, huh?
Yep. The day at the beach is done.
(Brian groaning)
Nuggs is getting the hook.
You have a nice day?
- So gorgeous. Yeah.
Good to. Oh, there's a little hair on the lens.
- Daddy. - That's okay.
- [Brian] We're not too picky about that.
(Karin laughing)
We're filming in the outdoors here.
- Yeah.
- [Brian] All right, Nuggs.
- [Karin] It's time to go back.
- [Brian] Time to go back. You ready?
- [Sierra] Yeah.
- [Brian] Yeah?
- [Karin] You are?
- [Brian] What.
- This spot that we're anchored at is just so pristine.
It's like in between a few islands
and even though the wind is kind of pumping quite a lot,
it's quite protected but you still get the breeze.
So it's like perfect.
And to just be able to be so close to the beach
that we can take Sierra in every morning
and just like hang out, not do much, is amazing.
I feel like these islands are like very typical
if you think about cruising
or if you see pictures of people cruising,
this is what you kind of imagine,
or what I imagined anyway like with the crystal clear water,
and the palm trees and the white sand.
Yeah, it's just very special.
There are a few fishermen kind of like staying in a hut
on one of these islands, but other than that
it's like nobody here really.
I hope that we can stay here for quite a few days
and just kind of sink into the groove of this place
and maybe Brian can go spearfishing or something
and just catch us some fish.
We asked the guys in here if it's okay
if we catch some fish and stuff and they were like,
"Yeah, whatever."
They seemed pretty cool with it so it's nice to just ask.
But wow, look at the sunset.
(boat engine humming)
(upbeat music)
Look how nice the beach is.
(upbeat music)
(Sierra speaking gibberish)
Wanna go into the beach?
(Sierra speaking gibberish)
- [Karin] Let's go.
(Sierra speaking gibberish)
- [Karin] Okay.
(upbeat music)

(Fisherman speaking foreign language)
(Brian speaking foreign language)
Brian.
(Fisherman speaking foreign language)
Okay. Cool.
(Fisherman speaking foreign language)
Yeah? Okay.
(Fisherman speaking foreign language)
(Karin chuckling)
(Fisherman speaking foreign language)
- [Brian] They just go out on the reef here
and they catch these lobster and we bought three today.
Like two kind of like small or medium-sized ones
and then one pretty big one.
So that's the plan for tonight.
(Brian speaking foreign language)
(Fisherman speaking foreign language)
Okay.
(Fisherman speaking foreign language)
(Brian speaking foreign language)
(Fisherman speaking foreign language)
Okay.
(Fisherman speaking foreign language)
Fifteen dollars.
(Fisherman speaking foreign language)
No, we'll take the dingy.
(Fisherman speaking foreign language)
Chuck them in there.
(Fisherman speaking foreign language)
(both laughing)
(Fisherman speaking foreign language)
- Nice. - Nice.
(Fisherman speaking foreign language)
OK. (Brian speaking foreign language)
(Fisherman speaking foreign language)
Ohh, nice.
(Fisherman speaking foreign language)
(Brian laughing)
- [Karin] Thank you.
(Brian speaking foreign language)
(Fisherman speaking foreign language)
Yeah. I'll bring it back.
(Fisherman speaking foreign language)
Yeah. (Brian speaking foreign language)
Okay.
(Fisherman speaking foreign language)
(Brian speaking foreign language)
(Fisherman speaking foreign language)
(Brian speaking foreign language)
(Fisherman speaking foreign language)
Oh, spearfishing.
(Fisherman speaking foreign language)
(Brian speaking foreign language)
(Fisherman speaking foreign language)
Oh. Like a red snapper. Something like a lot of meat.
(Fisherman speaking foreign language)
- Wow. - Oh, wow.
- Cool.
(Fisherman speaking foreign language)
(Brian speaking foreign language)
(Fisherman speaking foreign language)
Okay.
(Fisherman speaking foreign language)
(Brian speaking foreign language)
(Fisherman speaking foreign language)
(Brian speaking foreign language)
(Fisherman speaking foreign language)
These guys just fish all the time.
(Fisherman speaking foreign language)
Yeah.
(Fisherman speaking foreign language)
That's awesome. That's beautiful.
(Fisherman speaking foreign language)
(Brian speaking foreign language)
(Fisherman speaking foreign language)
- [Karin] Dinner?
- That's dinner for tonight.
- [Karina] Nice.
Yeah.
- [Sierra] Wow.
- [Brian] Wow.
That's a Sierra-sized lobster right there.
What do you think of that one?
(Sierra speaking gibberish) (Brian laughing)
That's a big fellow right there, Nuggs.
A medium fellow.
Five bucks apiece.
(upbeat music)
- [Karin] She doesn't like it.
- [Brian] Nugget.
Don't trust that lobster.
- [Karin] No, she doesn't.
- She doesn't trust the lobster.
(lobster tail flapping)
- Wow. Is it crazy or what?
(lobster tails flapping)
She's not convinced.
(Karin laughing)
Tails off? It's kind of brutal.
- [Karin] Yeah, leave it on.
Okay, so I'm gonna start preparing
some of the food for tonight.
I found a pretty nice recipe of dairy-free, white wine sauce
for like the lobster and the pasta.
I haven't done it before so I'm not sure
how it's gonna turn out but it sounded pretty good.
I'll try to stick to it and see what happens.
And Sierra is helping me in the kitchen today.
And she's eating her dry oats.
This is like one of our new favorites.
(Karin laughing)
A little dry but you have your ice water on the side, huh?
- Ummm.
(Karin laughing)
(upbeat music)
(food in pot sizzling)
(upbeat music)
This ended up looking pretty nasty and all wumpy.
They say to mix it in the blender
and then add some cheese and some other goodness,
so I'm gonna, we don't really have a high-speed blender,
but I'm just gonna use whatever, you know,
our staff mixer, whatever it's called.
(mixer blending)
All right, so now everything is prepared
and I'm just gonna heat it up before we kind of serve it,
so now I just have to wait,
and we're gonna do the lobsters and stuff.
And Grace is bringing by some side salad.
It'll be a real nice dinner together.
It's gonna be awesome.
- [Grace] We're waiting for you.
- [Brian] That's a 10-ounce tail.
(upbeat music)
(scissors cutting) (lobster tail cracking)
All right the rule, one minute per ounce.
So these big boys are gonna be about 10, 11 minutes.
(upbeat music)
(indistinct crosstalking)
- Sauce is ready.
- [Brian] Saucing it up.
Oh, wow.
Oh, my gosh.
This dinner looks just out of control.
Imagine how good you can eat out here, huh.
And how not expensive it is at all.
Tell me how good it is.
- Oh, this is so good.
- [Brian] That's what you get.
- Wow.
- [Grace] (indistinct) Karin. (Brian laughing)
- I know, I always get sauce all over.
- [Grace] This looks ridiculous.
(Karin groaning)
I'm not expecting there to be so much sauce per.
(Karin giggling)
- It's pretty exciting. - Mmmm.
- [Grace] Sauce per spaghetti blade.
- [Brian] Yeah.
- Ooh, that white wine does have a good touch in there.
- [Brian] Yeah, yeah.
- Mmmm, mmmm,, mmmm, mmmm.
We're living life here.
- [Karin] Mmmm.
- [Grace] Yeah.
- [Brian] You ready, Nuggs?
- No.
(adults all laughing)
- All right. - No.
- [Brian] You guys enjoy.
- We'll do a bite, child.
- Holy crap.
- [Brian] Good to see you guys again.
- [Grace] This is so good.
What did you put in this sauce?
(gentle music)
- [Brian] Up next on Delos.
We continue our stay
in the amazing paradise of Coco Bandero Cays
and San Blas, Panama, where we begin to explore
the amazing underwater world
that lies just beneath the surface.
(water gurgling)
