SV Delos

The crew departs from Ternate and makes the 5 day sail to Davao, Philippines! Along the way we stop at an underwater volcano, get more awesome visits from dolphins and whales, and settle down in the Samal Island Marina in Davao. We have a few parties, do some work on Delos, and start exploring the amazing Philippines!

The crew explore the amazing island of Samal, visit the best buffet in the world and we go to school. Come along for the ride!

After finishing school, we party hard with our new classmates, go flying on a zipline, hit the wakeboard park, get another awesome crew member and finally head out of Oceanview marina! Its a goodie!

The crew leaves the marina in Davao and sails 350 miles north to the incredible destination of Could 9 on Siargao! We chill with the locals for a bit, hang out at the beach, then sail on to Bucas Granda for some amazing Island Hopping Pinoy Style!

The crew leaves the anchorage at Cloud 9 and sails West through the center of the Philippines. We stop at Bohol for a rocking New years Eve, check out the Chocolate Hills and Tarsiers, and continue on south towards the island of Cebu where we have an amazing experience with whalesharks at Oslob!

The crew runs from a tropical storm and ends up in Bonbonon, Southern Negros, Philippines! Josje and Brady run out of money and leave Delos to restock their cruising kitty. Brian and Karin continue sailing to Siquijor where they find amazing waterfalls, see a real live cockfight, and drive into the mountains to locate a faith healer where Brian get's his evil spirits removed by a local witch doctor.

We leave the big city of Manila behind and set sail for Coron, Palawan, Philippines! Along the way we stop at Apo Reef for some snorkeling and diving, then a random African animal safari park on Caluit Island. We end up chilling in Coron for a few weeks diving the sunken Japanese WWII wrecks. Life is good!

With nothing to do and no place to be we found ourselves drifting through the amazingly beautiful El Nido. We found an incredible island where our days blended into weeks. We explored the sights and did a bit of diving before heading south for Puerto Princessa. We got caught in a squall, our anchor chain snagged on a coral bommie, and he had one hell of a sail.

After an unplanned 8 months cruising around, the time had come to leave the amazing Philippines. Our next stop Malaysia! On the way we stop at one of the most magical dive sites we have ever seen filled with Sharks and turtles, then continue our sail to Malaysia!

Ragnar joins the Delos crew all the way from Sweden! He busts his head on the mizzen, and helps the crew to replace our dead batteries and repair our head. We then set sail along the Borneo coast to the Turtle Islands where we witness the disgusting act of a dynamite fisherman blowing up a reef we just dove. We visit the local village for some sweet drone flying action and make new friends!

Delos goes way up the Kinabatangan River, deep into the jungles of Borneo! Along the way we spot Proboscis Monkey's (AKA Dick Nose), massive crocodiles, and even pigmy elephants! Awesome times :)

Check out the adventure of Brady and Josje from the time they left Delos and ran dry of cruising cash! They were lucky enough to work on some MASSIVE sailboats cruising around the Pacific! Superyacht life is pretty sweet if you ask us!

Continue to follow the superyacht adventure along with Brady and Josje as they sail through Fiji, Vanuatu and New Caledonia. Be prepared for sharks, diving, volcanos and of course a lot of SAILING!!

Brian and Karin take 3 months off cruising to visit family in Sweden and America and end up circumnavigating the entire globe by air in 3 months! They return to Kudat and have only 4 days to get Delos ship-shape before the new crew arrives. Delos shoves off from Kudat and sets sail for the Kingdom of Brunei to fill up on the cheapest diesel in the world!

After filling up with cheap diesel in Brunei we set sail for Singapore, a 700 mile sail across the South China Sea. Over the 7 day passage some awesome sailing, some intense squalls, and deal with the crazy shipping traffic entering Singapore.

We eat and drink our way through the amazing city of Singapore with new friends! All too soon we must move north and set sail for Langkawi, Malaysia through the notorious Malacca Straits! We beat upwind for a few days and see some pretty rough seas before the wind dies off. In Langkawi we explore, swim, and take a ride to the top of the mountain before sailing to Ko Lipe, Thailand to enjoy a New Years!

We explore some epic deserted islands, have some amazing flights with the drone, and play with our underwater dive plane.

Karin and Brian head to the awesome city of Bangkok! Their mission is to get their Indian Visa's sorted out. Along the way they visit temples, eat local foods, and explore the streets. When they return to Phuket it's back to work on Delos fixing some electrical motors, the water maker, air conditioning, and even making a larger bed for soon to arrive crew!
