Have to personally thank the Delos crew and this RU-vid channel. I showed my daughter (she's 26) one of your episodes 3 months ago and she said, let's get scuba certified. We have just spent a week in Roatan (Anthony's Key) and got our PADI open water certification and then dived the amazing reefs. Thank you for the inspiration to get this old man to go out of his comfort zone. Now dad and daughter can always share this amazing new world together.
@@randallthrift1249 , I am hoping to return this year to get advanced open water and nitrox certification. Loved my instructor Axel, and hope he would continue where we left off
Ok, after about a month of consistent binging I have completed watching the entire vid collection I have a few thoughts!!!! First, you guys are EPIC, enjoyed watching the personal growth throughout the years , not to mention the sailing and vid making growth. Really beautiful to watch, I laughed and cried my way through your adventures and shenanigans. Second, you are inspiring to so many people, this is not conjecture but proven by the people that come from so far away just to meet you, I hope to be one of them some day as you have inspired me to be a much better person, appreciate nature more and lastly to get my butt out on the water, may King Neptune grant you shellbacks safe passage and fair winds!!! A true fan here appreciates all you do!!!
The best turtle dive so far...I watch you everyday! Thank you for the beautiful creatures you show us! I enjoy learning about the places you take us. I started with season 1 and watch current episodes also...Happy and safe sailing!
Belated happy birthday Brian, I can't believe 200 episodes already & I've thoroughly enjoyed every second of them. Thanks for showing me (and others) parts of the world I'll never get to see. Fair winds peoples, look forward to many many more. Stay safe SVD
Well. I've finally caught up and you add another. :-) All I can say is 'THANKS'. Thoroughly enjoy watching your videos, putting lots of smiles on my face and a few tears of happiness. :-) Happy sailing
I am watching on a new 4k OLED TV. Your video and editing work is now seen at an entirely new level. I've always thought your videos to be outstanding and exceptional, but in 4k OLED, they are Absolutely Stunning! ...even the booger on Brians' stache at 22:45 looked real... Just thought I would pass this along. Thank you again for your work, time, and effort filming videos for all to enjoy... Peace!
This video is exceptional from beginning to end! I love how each of you have become classic stars doing what you love with advanced experience in the full spectrum of adventers in the sailing life. The birthday dance was creatively hilarious. Infinite Highest Blessings
That last turtle Cut was outstanding guys along with the others absolutely killing it I’ve been saying better every time for years now but we’ll and truly smashed it ❤️
I'm amazed by how fast the turtles are actually cruising along underwater, great job swimming hard to keep up with perfect camera work. Snorkeling there sure beats LaJolla cove. All I have here are orange Garibaldi and sea lions in 64 degree water. Five years. 1826 days from now I want to live your life.
WOWEE............. what a great 200th episode ! Excellent footage Kazza of the turtles and your entire snorkel. The guy doing the narration of the belly flops was hilarious, what a natural. Fabulous editing as per usual, it is such a pleasure to view your hard work and passion. I can't wait until next week.............. Cheers from Toronto.
Happy Birthday and thanks for sharing. Some of the best editing and music selection. I could tell even before the credits that Leesir had a hand in it and obviously Blue who is forever the most artistically wonderful woman. Everyone was just great in this one. I'm sure many of us will replay it through the week. You are making a positive difference in so many lives. Humble thanks.
How very,very cool that is. This is going into my five-star-deluxe-video pile. Happy B-Day Captain Breyaawn! (I know it’s been a looong time ago since). And extra big thumbs up for the editors. 👍
I just now suddenly realized that this is the only one of my regularly watched videos that I do not ever skip the intro. It is just so I can listen to the music! On the other dozen or so that I watch regularly, I know just how far to skip ahead to get past the intro. I hereby nominate you guys for the best intro song choice on RU-vid.
You guys, make underwaterfilming look easy..! Epic filming, once again. What's that creature with a "fixed-wing" at 24:05 and 24:25? Can anyone enlighten me?
I have to ask why Brian is skilled in so many things & can fix anything that goes wrong on Delos like a boss, yet he holds his fork like my toddlers used to... What’s the story Brian? Lol I have noticed it on a few episodes now & it’s so unique. 3 weeks in & reaching 200 episodes. By far one of the best channels I’ve discovered on RU-vid & I’m sharing the shit out of it. Love you guys. 🤙🏽 From a friend Down Under 🙃
Well, always keep Google Maps up and running so I can look at where sailors are, and its Tobago CAYS. . surprisingly . In fact if you google Keys it comes back as Cays !
Happy Birthday, Brian! HAPPY HOLIDAYS, DELOS! Please tell me. ...is Grenada ev er yt h ING it seems to be? I have heard that there are dozens of boats left behind on the hard that are never reclaimed and it is a destination to pick up a boat and begin a journey. Is this true? It looks beautiful. Is it worth the trip?
Hairy ears ? Wait until you hit 60 ! Then you will also say how you wish you were 50 again , but old age is a privilege reserved to the living . It's a lesson from Vietnam .
@Always Reading Yeah at least he isn't like my lame-ass non brother in law.... He asked my father in law for permission to marry my wife's sister, and then never got around to asking her. Several years and 2 kids later, they are still together, and he's not a bad guy, but that kind of lame you never live down.
Hello everyone, I met them through channel #sal. I am from Brazil and I have become an unconditional fan of you. Soon I will buy my Sailboat and embark on this adventure. I realized that you guys use OpenCPN. Could you share his nautical charts with us? And maybe you know the routes you've already made with OpenCPN. I thank you very much and good winds! A hug from Daniel the Great (Captain America).
I'm pretty sure I just read a couple of negative comments in here... Mmn.. Gotta be trolls!! Awesome vid, great atmosphere, was almost like being there for real!! ******No 1 sailing Channel by miles!!******
Ms. Blue, it's pronounced 'Key.' The confusion comes from the anglo/french quay, which refers to a dock and is pronounced 'kay,' whereas a key refers to the island itself, and is spanish in origin. So, you may be on a quay that is on a key. Cheers.
@Doug Mooney As a Floridian and English major, you may in fact, suck it. Quoted: "Q: Why do we have two words for a small island-“key” and “cay”? And are they related to “quay,” the word for a wharf? A: “Key” and “cay” are just different spellings of the same 17th-century word for a small, low island, especially in the Caribbean or off the coast of Florida. “Key” is more common in Florida and “cay” in the Caribbean, and it’s likely that local customs and place names have kept the different spellings alive. As we’ll explain later, both of them are probably derived from “quay,” a word from French that means a wharf. First let’s talk about the pronunciations. “Key” is pronounced KEE, like the unrelated word for something that opens a lock. “Cay” is usually pronounced the same way (KEE), but some dictionaries give an alternate pronunciation, KAY. “Quay” was originally pronounced KEE, and that’s still the preferred pronunciation (it was once spelled “key”). Some dictionaries give only that pronunciation, though in American English two variant pronunciations are recognized as standard: KAY and KWAY. We’ll have more to say about “quay” later. The geographical terms “key” and “cay” were “originally the same word,” according to the Oxford English Dictionary. Although “key” was recorded in writing first (1693), Oxford says it originated as a variant spelling of “cay,” which wasn’t recorded until 1707 but was no doubt known to explorers much earlier. In 17th-century English, “key” was pronounced KAY. Oxford defines “key” as “a low-lying island or reef, esp. in the Caribbean or off the south coast of Florida.” And it says the earlier “cay” was similarly used for “islets” of sand, mud, rock, or coral lying “around the coast and islands of Spanish America.” Here is the dictionary’s earliest citation for “key”: “The place whereon Port-Royal was since built, was like one of the Keys or little Islands that lie off this Harbour.” (From a letter written on July 3, 1693, and published the following year in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London.) “Key,” as we’ve said, was originally a variant spelling of “cay.” As for “cay,” it was derived from the 16th-century Spanish word cayo (shoal or barrier reef). That old Spanish word is “of uncertain origin,” Oxford says, but it’s “perhaps ultimately the same word as French quai … or perhaps a loanword from an indigenous language of the Antilles.” Other etymologists are more definite about the French connection. The American Heritage Dictionary of Indo-European Roots (2nd ed.) says that “cay,” and “key” are descended from the Old French quai, the source of “quay.” And the French word, American Heritage adds, comes from caio (rampart or retaining wall) in Gaulish, an extinct Celtic language once spoken by Celts in what is now France, Belgium, and other parts of northern Europe. Going even further back, etymologists have identified a prehistoric Indo-European ancestor, a root reconstructed as kagh- that meant a wickerwork or a fence. This ancient meaning is reflected in the Gaulish and early French versions of the word. “The French word was probably originally used with reference to fence-like wooden revetments, which were used to stabilize riverbanks and allow boats to moor,” the OED explains. When the word first came into English in 1399, the OED says, it was spelled “key” and meant “a man-made bank or landing stage” for ships, either along the water or projecting into it. The earliest OED example is from Aberdeen, Scotland. A notation in town records for 1399 describes a contract for the construction of 12 windows and 12 doors, to be delivered by the following Easter “at ony key of Abirden, or ellis at the sandis at Lawrence of Lethis howss” (“at any key of Aberdeen, or else at the sand beach at Lawrence of Leth’s house”). The quotation appears in Extracts From the Council Register of the Burgh of Aberdeen, 1398-1625. We’ve added a few words from the original for context. Though this is the first known example in written English, the word was familiar in Britain much earlier through Anglo-Norman French (spellings include kaye, kaie, kei, key, and many others). And similar-sounding words meaning a fence or enclosure-and traced to the same prehistoric Indo-European root-existed in Celtic languages spoken in Britain, like Welsh (cae) and Cornish (kē). The spelling “quay” showed up in the mid-1500s, more than 150 years after that 1399 example, when it was borrowed from French, according to John Ayto’s Dictionary of Word Origins. The earliest citation in the OED is from a letter written to Sir Thomas Gresham on Dec. 31, 1561, by his agent in Antwerp: “So many Quays crowne-serchers, wayters, and other powlyng [plundering] offycers.” (The letter is about the chaotic customs searches on the London docks, as compared to more sedate Antwerp.) Today “quay” still means what it originally meant-a wharf. But it’s always been less common in the US than in the UK, Canada, and other Commonwealth countries. Finally, as we mentioned earlier, the “key” that opens a lock is unrelated, as far as anybody knows. It’s been traced back to Old English (caeg), but no further. “No one knows where the word originally came from,” Ayto says, adding that “it has no living relatives in other Germanic languages.”
The term "Cay ",pronounced KAA is the Spanish pronunciation. The English pronunciation Cay aka Key is the English. Been following you for the past year. Great videos. Do you and your brother ever plan to draw this odissy to a close?
Flying Gurnard, reef squid, yellow tail snapper, trumpet fish, Sargent mayors, blue tangs green turtles and the big school of tiny fish look like brown chromis
After seeing those amazing underwater shots, I clicked your link to check out your camera gear, but got a 404 error :( Can't find your equipment list svdelos.com/camera is no bueno, also svdelos.com/gear/ isn't working either.
Hey guys girl , where's the new Appa's episode ,I'm Canadians ,and love your adventures,wish I was there ,48 y old and I think u should have a fun raising money account ,so u can show the world ,the freedom we all deserve ,keep up the good work ,if u ever need money to continue ,just text me ,pls 😁
Two Hundred Episodes AND it's Brian's Birthday? IM-POS-SI-BIL, . . . but TRUE! LOL In gitten older, are those bags under your eyes? No, that's one BIG bag over your eyes! hehe And it's hard to believe there was any water left in that pool after all those belly flops. My belly hurt just watching. As always great scenery and the snorkeling scenes were great! I'm wondering, was there only 1 or 2 sea turtles who you videoed in different spots or were there really a whole LOT of sea turtles swimming around? Regarding the turtles I noticed for the first time how "aerodynamically"* they are shaped. Very much like a turtle shaped airplane wing. I've always seen fish as swimming, but sea turtles definitely FLY. Thanks for another GREAT episode! Can't wait for the next 200! : - D * The term probably should be "hydrodynamic-ally"
Brill vid just wait till you get to 55 for some reason I've lost the hair on my head years ago but my dick can grow hair very easy up to half way from the end now wtf keep the vids going we love them.🇬🇧👍
Hit on an idea , do episodes that are from one of the crews View of what they are doing on a sailing vessel at sea. Weather there below deck, or they are kini dipping .maybe , show the, " "me time of the crew members , your almost there. Could bring new adventures plot lines. Hard to improve on a class act , so , just a brain hit ! Good job crew !
Hair not only starts growing on the ears, the new ear-hairs also have a growth-rate that defies all laws of physics and nature. Its crazy. One day no hairs, the following day, 3 hairs, each an inch long. Its true.
Sometimes all you need is a little Delos to cure your insomnia thanks for allowing me to melt away my stress. You guys are truly a blessing on this thanksgiving day I wish you all a goodnight.
