(peaceful music) (waves splash) (woman mumbles) - [Brian] Still rocking and rolling. This is really hard to capture how much it's moving. Huh? - If we're going to continue through we have to think about dinner and stuff as well. - [Brian] I can have noodles, you know? (boat creaks) (waves splash) So Calzatrona has sailed around the world for 10 years. We've done pretty well. What are some of the challenges and differences now that we have a baby nugget and it's only the two of us? - Yeah. - [Brian] Where is she by the way? Is she back there? Look it! Hi baby nugs. How are you today? (baby murmurs) (man laughs) - Bored. - [Brian] Bored? - It's all moving around and she gets really frustrated. But all the sailing we've done, like all the really rough conditions in the Indian Ocean, like that was nothing compared to having a baby on the boat. 'Cause when I'm not taking care of her, you know, I still have to prepare meals. We all have to be fed. And you know, yesterday when she like puked all over me like that was all just thrown in the bathroom. And like, if I don't clean that up, I can't change her diaper because it's just puke, it coats everywhere. - [Brian] So it's a lot. - It's definitely changed a lot on how like I think a lot of the things that I really enjoyed with passages, is no longer there. You know? Like I used to really enjoy, you know, just sitting out here and watching the waves for like eight hours and just like zoning out and getting into routine and, you know, just being in your own space. And I feel with her, like, I don't really have that anymore. So I guess I don't like passages anymore (woman laughs) I guess that broadly saying it- But I know this is a phase and she's very young still, right? And it's harder now when she can move around because she wants to like walk. And as soon as she walks, she like falls and like hits herself and cries. And, which is not nice. - [Brian] These are also suboptimal conditions. - Yeah. When she gets older like she will understand that, okay now we're moving the boat. So now I need to hold on. Or at least I'm hoping that that's what she'll do. (woman chuckles) At some point, I hope this will happen. I think so! - [Brian] Now we just have to decide if we should continue or pull in. - Yeah, I know. - [Brian] It's like, do we want to take our punishment now or later? (both chuckle) - I know. I don't know. - [Man] We'll get back to you on that. (guitar music) After weighing in on a few options, we decided to keep pushing forward and take advantage of the favorable winds. Even though it meant testing our limits more than we had ever done since having Sierra on board. It's hard to capture in the videos because in our toughest moments, you don't always have a free hand or the energy to pick up a camera. Life on the ocean is full of challenges, both physically and emotionally and sailing is probably one of the most romanticized lifestyles today. But the reality is that sometimes it can break you a little or a lot. It's full of unbelievable highs and lows, but the toughest parts of our life also what make it the most rewarding. Working hard, accepting the good with the bad, and rising to the challenge makes you feel alive every single day. And for every squall that comes your way, you managed to see the sunshine on the other side. - I was thinking about kind of what we talked about before. And I felt like maybe it could seem a little bit negative or like I don't enjoy my life or something like that which is not true at all. I actually absolutely love this lifestyle. And I love being a family on the boat, it's absolutely amazing. But I think I have days like this when I'm like why am I living on a boat? Like it's so hard. But then if you think about how many amazing days we have and how much I absolutely love this life those, they way overweigh these really difficult days. So, (woman chuckles) I'm really proud of me and Brian for being such a good team. And we do super well, even though it is really hard. And I'm also really proud of Sierra because I mean she's a small baby and she doesn't really understand. I think like, why can I not walk around right now? She just gets frustrated and she's feeling a little bit sick. And you know? She noticed this on us. That we're a little bit bleh. So I think she's doing really well as- We're moving nicely. And I'm just going to sit out here and watch everything and try to kind of just calm my mind and- (guitar music) - [Brian] It took us about a day and a half. And as our northerly winds finally started to trickle off through the night, we were happy with our progress and decided to pull into Cape May, New Jersey for a much earned rest on anchor the next morning. (peaceful music) (seagulls caw) Ah, we made it. Cape May. I'm looking forward to a rest and a shower. - [Woman] Yeah. (woman chuckles) - Yeah. - [Woman] I think we need like a full day and a full night of rest. - I thought you were going to say a full body spa and massage or something. I was like, yes! - [Woman] And a full shower. - I'd settle for a hot shower. - [Woman] Sierra really needs a bath- - Does she? She got that baby funk? - [Woman] Yeah. (man chuckles) - I got that sailor funk. (both shudder) (water splashes) - [Woman] You ready? - [Brian] All good? - [Woman] Yeah. Tap the anchor. Yeah. Good to go. Whoa. We made it, what an achievement. (woman laughs) But now it feels absolutely amazing to be here and I think it's time for rest, huh? Okay. I love you. - Good job. - Thank you. - There's another passage in the books, huh? - Yay. (upbeat music) - [Brian] Ahoy, Delos tribe, We just got a new batch of our solar long sleeve shirts in the shop. They're available in men's and women's sizes to fit all. So just pop on over to svdelis.com/rashguards and grab one for that special person in your life. (peaceful music) Cape May sits just outside the entrance to the Delaware Bay. We needed to make a stop in Annapolis to do some boat projects. So we chose the shorter and more protected route up the Bay where we'd be able to pass through the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal and then track south towards Annapolis. After a full day and night's rest on anchor, we were recharged and ready to set off bright and early the next day. (seagulls caw) - [Woman] Early morning, sandwich breakfast! - Oh, I thought you were going to give it to me and then you ate it. (woman chuckles) Kazas! - [Woman] You said you didn't want anything. - Well, if would've known you were doing toast and cheese and jam. I wanna definitely have some. No, I'll get my own. Thank you. (woman chuckles) - [Woman] Do you feel rested after your rest day yesterday? - Yeah, I do. I do. That was perfect. Now I'm ready to carry on another day. Going to go up to Delaware Bay and set ourselves up for the transit through the C and D canal. (man groans) Please stop. - [Woman] I know. - [Brian] Right into 27 knots of wind, 28. I saw 32 a minute ago. The problem is there's this awful shoal around Cape May. And it's really sketchy because it's a bunch of moving sand. And so we decided to give it a really wide berth which means we had to come all the way out here. It adds about 15 miles, but it's worth it. So we're basically going right into like as high as we can point motor sailing. But after we get to this point here we'll be able to turn. The wind is like coming like this right now. So once we make this corner, then we should be flying up the Delaware. Ready to turn? Ready to turn. (peaceful music) Beep. Beep. Beep. Now we can put on some sail. - [Woman] Yay! Woo hoo! - Now we're sailing! We got the wind now, baby nugs. Cruising! Well, we're doing eight knots now. And the boat's pretty steady and it's only hopefully going to get better until it gets worse. Geez. 29 knots, 30 knots, and we go! The wind turned at our face and we had to beat our way into it for a few more hours. But as we got further into the shelter of Delaware Bay the wind dropped off almost completely, and we found ourselves motor sailing once again. - [Woman] Well, it's almost five. - Hey, motoring! I listen to yacht rock. - [Woman] Oh? Yacht rock? - [Brian] That's the most exciting thing of my afternoon right now. (Yacht Rock plays) We're going crazy. (baby giggles) (man chuckles) Ah! We're getting so bored out here. We've spent too much time on the boat! Wee! (both laugh) - [Woman] We haven't left the boat in how many days? - I don't know, it's been a lot of days. Now we're upside down on the boats. (everyone laughs) (guitar music) Once again, we set our plans aside and opted to continue on for a night passage through the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal. Rather than anchoring and waiting to go through it in the morning. We normally try to avoid going through unfamiliar areas at night, but the canal is pretty well marked and charted. So we decided to give it a go well. Well, that's what the C and D canal looks like on radar. Here we are on the chart. And here's the view at night. It should take us about three hours to get through. We're going to have the current against us for the first part. And then it's going to switch about the first third. So maybe it'll take less than three hours. It normally would take us about an hour and 45 minutes. Let's check out the night camera. Well, there we go. (man chuckles) That's pretty cool. Look at that, huh? Wow. Okay. Well this is my life for like the next 14 miles. (peaceful music) - [Woman] Whoa. This looks crazy, huh? It looks so pretty at night. (guitar music) - [Brian] Because of the current against us, we're doing 4.5 knots. We'd normally be doing seven knots. So we got a knot and a half against us. It's going to switch in about an hour. It'll go to nothing and then it'll be with us. So that'll be cool. - It's pretty freaking crazy to go through here tonight. It's very beautiful though. It's so calm. We've never really gone into a river or canal at night ever. - [Brian] No, it's a lot prettier than I thought. We got the whole place for ourselves too. - Yeah. It's like you know, have you met any boats? - [Brian] Uh no, there's one tug behind us. - Okay. - [Brian] But he's only going 4 knots. - Have another, yeah, hour and a half of this and then we should be out and try to find ourselves a little anchor for the night. But yeah, it's absolutely beautiful. (man yawns) - I was thinking like, what we're doing is like you're kind of like a single mom right now and I'm like a single-handed sailor. - [Woman] Yeah. I know. (woman laughs) It's kind of, I was thinking about that today. I was like, it's tough. - [Woman] Yeah. I'm doing all the baby duty and the meals. Right? So preparing all the food and everything and yeah. - And I just sit here and like monitor stuff - [Woman] Monitor the boat, do the sailing, navigation. It works though, we're a good team. - We are. - [Woman] And nugget is a good baby. - She is. (man sighs) - [Woman] That was a long day. - That was a long day. Here we are somewhere. I dunno. We just picked a random bay. It's like in the middle of nowhere, we're not even close to anything, we're just literally anchored right in the middle of it. (both chuckle) Whatever, who cares. Go to bed. - [Woman] Yeah, I know. - [Brian] Up next on Delos. We decided to fix all the stuff we broke on the sail south to Annapolis. - I feel like we're almost at our max capacity of what we could handle. - [Brian] And I visit the doctor for a hernia repair surgery. - (beep). That's about it. (woman chuckles) I don't know what else to say. - [Brian] Yeah I got it, mate. Let's go. (man chuckles) I'll tow you all the way to Annapolis. (background noise drowns out sound) (both laugh) She poked me in the eye with her bird pointing finger! - [Woman] What? - [Brian] Oh! There he is. Hah! Come on, where are we going? Ah, baby fingers! No baby fingers! Seek and destroy. Dun dun dun dun! - Dealing with so much lack of sleep. - [Brian] How about the baby nugs? - I'm trying to do that. - [Brian] Oh, sorry. - Oh wait. What was I saying? - [Brian] The achievement. - Oh, yeah. Okay. I'm going to retake that. Ah!
