HORRIFIC Sailing Into a DARK VORTEX of Wind and Rain - Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 288

they turned a satellite on and yeah i was checking weather and uh then i decided to check instagram comments we got this comment here it says did you see the spacex falcon 9 rocket land at 5 30 a.m this morning you probably were in a good position to see the re-entry boost back burn and it's some crazy thing like falling in the sky like it almost looks like a meteorite which is quite funny because when i got up on watch chasm was very excited to show me this video of some crazy like you know spacecraft coming through the atmosphere and like lighting up the sky and i was like stage one entry burn has started landing legs have deployed stage two fts has saved and jrti we have a stage one landing that was what it was i thought it was something weird they're not crazy it was a falcon 9 rocket yeah or it was an alien i decided but it wasn't people aliens yeah pretty cool that's cool to know yeah nice so the squall arrived and passed you can see it's crazy on the our apparent wind speed chart you can like see how it just goes up and the wind just stays like over 20 knots and then it just drops like all of a sudden when the squirrel passed so yeah now we have no wind but still some waves so we're getting like bob's around [Music] the wind has kind of died down now um because now it says that we're supposed to get to the point where we're gonna turn in about 12 hours which um yeah the wind is gonna start picking up to like a lot in about six hours so if we don't make it to that point it's gonna get extremely uncomfortable [Music] it is kind of terrible ginormous waves just rip the sail if i told you it was comfortable then you could rightfully call me a liar it is completely terrible actually so tired this is the story of delos a sailboat adventurizing around the world for the past 10 years and now we embark on our greatest adventure of all come join us as we take to the high seas and travel the world with the newest member of our crew if you enjoy delos videos please subscribe it's a great way to support our channel [Music] i had to stop the engine because we're going super slow because there's no wind again there's a lot of squalls around i hate squalls push the wind in all kind of weird directions and makes it real shifty going from like a lot of wind to no wind from all different directions and raining and it's going out here yeah we're just about sailing some darkness oh wonderful great news we're just about to sail into a dark vortex of wind and rain [Music] know [Music] oh oh we had an unintentional jive and it the ripped scene we've got to get that down well just rip the sail [ __ ] this is not ideal it looks like last night during one of our uh times when the a squall came and the chip got back winded it rubbed against the spreader and just wore through the stitches and then it split so we'll be able to fix that we have a spare i think the trick will be getting this one down uh and then getting the new one up because it's quite difficult to do with the dinghy on deck yeah so we'll head up going fast enough just to keep steerage and then uh grace if you could be up at the mast on the halyards you'll be easing the higher casa will be unfurling the sail and driving the boats and then i'll be pulling it down and getting it on deck [Music] so go ahead and head up straight into the wind and just keep it that way okay start to unfurl unfurl all the way tell karen to put the wind on the other side of the boat [Music] so okay go ahead and pull a little bit [Music] [Music] oh my god that was hectic oh it's so hard to do it when the boat is moving and the wind is like going crazy and it's so hard and the dinghy is in the way so you can only like winch the hard way really i don't know we got it up so cross our fingers it's okay and that we can use it now but man [Music] how you feeling brian defeated it is post rip jib and replace jib right now and we're all a little tired from that but we worked well as a team i think and um i'm really kind of anxious to hear from bill we haven't heard from him um we had some issues with the dome yesterday because it doesn't like the rain uh so we kind of lost connection we're trying to get the connection back right now um because yeah i'd really like to know how he's been doing for the last 24 hours since we had a pretty eventful 24 hours some pretty rough weather a lot of squalls and then the jib ripping it's like anything can happen in 24 hours out in the water so yeah hoping to get an email from him soon and also just find out where he is because last we heard which is about 24 hours ago um he was over 30 miles uh separated from us so yeah gonna make some sandwiches for lunch and i use because we're on out attack now i use this one so i don't fly across the lock myself in here [Music] keeping the cutting board like that so it stays straight so that's much how much we lean over this stove is like so hard to show on camera but literally my whole world is like leaning right now [Music] ryan thank you that looks amazing there's the u.s flag it's a little rift here's the baby on board flag but look at the delos tribe flag oh that's great well these were all put up at the same time so that's quality that is quality it's a little faded from the sun but you know it's great it's a character yeah if you want to get your delos flag head forward slash shameless plug and get yours today we almost had a whole hour without a sale change every like hour it like goes up and then another squall and then another skull and another dip but now it's changed once again time to trim sails what can you do the weather kind of does whatever the weather does there's another squall up here too oh my god every hour we get hit by a squall here comes the reins here another squall huh yeah 27 knots of wind from exactly where we want to go so annoying just as i get everything set up and trimmed the wind dies comes back changes direction dies again and leaves us bobbing in like this huge swell [Music] it's um pretty freaking hectic conditions out here it is kind of terrible it is completely terrible actually and he is getting bashed by these ginormous waves i finally figured out how to get the boat set up the problem is the wind is like really shifty so every time we sailed it would just switch around on us and it would back when the jib and so we were having a real hard time so what i've done is uh reduced sail and we're motor sailing so that we can keep momentum when the waves hit us uh which helps us keep steerage which helps the bow from getting pushed and so far it's been working we're doing about five knots uh it's blowing 30 knots on the nose and we're we're on course so that's the good news it's not that comfortable and i don't think any of us wish we were here but we are and that's what it is right yeah now we just found out um we turned on the dome and got an email from uh will or bill as you might know him and he unfortunately we popped a lower shroud so he had to divert to beaufort essentially um luckily he has just enough gas to get into beaufort um he's about 34 miles off of beaufort right now and it's like one o'clock um so hopefully he'll get in before nightfall but he can't sail at all he can only motor um with with the rig being broken so are you feeling worried about him or do you feel like he's i'm not worried because it's like a best case scenario within a worst-case scenario like he happened during the daylight he got the sail down but it's a bad it's like a bad thing to break it also happened in front of beaufort yeah oh my god the conditions are absolutely horrific uh we've been beating into it the whole night the boat is just slamming like the sounds are leaking into the whole cockpit it's just dripping everywhere it's rainy it's squally we just get slammed like we get airborne and then slammed into the wave in front of us and the whole boat just goes we are on course as of now which i feel extremely happy about and we are going uh okay speed so that's the plus side uh it's 6 am the weather could be described as hellacious one could call it i don't know why we were a [ __ ] and murdered about being hot all the time because now it's cold but it's also wet and it's actually pretty freaking miserable i put a hat on i got pants on uh yeah i mean it is what it is we've been beating for two days now uh the wind's holding we're able to hold our course delos is doing awesome i'm really proud of the crew uh kazza and grace have been doing amazing sierra's still sleeping which is i don't even know how she sleeps in the battle like that with the boat freaking going crazy but so this is where we are this is what it's like so we're doing quite good actually last night we were down here now we're up here we just got to make it to this waypoint and then we can turn into the entrance and then we'll get into the chesapeake and then there should be some protection from the ocean swells although it'll still be windy and then we still have another 125 miles to go so it's just a matter of patience trusting the boat and dealing with the conditions mentally oh my god this is horrible it's just i just heard this gurgling sound and putting sierra to bed and uh the bell thruster it's literally like it's gushing water and it's like we're having an open hole in the boat and it's just filling up the whole front of the boat with salt water [Applause] so tired it's crazy just want to be there i just want to be over with this i'm not enjoying this right now [Music] winds picked up again seeing uh 34 35 knots now pretty solidly we're healed over 25 30 degrees but we're making seven and a half knots which is nice but uh it couldn't be described as a calm and peaceful ride it's quite hectic but the boat's under control [Music] how's it down here oh my god it's not present she doesn't seem too phased at all oh she's bored because she can't play huh but the motion doesn't bother her she just wants to play i see you've got the leaning rope out we're healed over at a good 25 to 30 degrees but we're going fast we make our turn in about four hours i think and then it should be it should be better because the wind will be more on the beam and hopefully won't be going upwind that's a sustained 30 knots right there surprises me we've got a triple reef in the jib we've got a double reef in the main a double reef in the mizzon but uh if i told you it was comfortable then you you could rightfully call me a liar because it is not comfortable leading up wind and 30 knots is never comfortable it's just a matter of different levels of discomfort i think let's go check on kaza and the little nugs look at you guys anyway we're doing really good yeah i really hope it gets better when we make this turn i know at least maybe the slamming will get less i mean the wind isn't going to calm down at least we won't be going into it which increases our apparent you wind being outside thank you for watching the baby nugs are you chewing on my heater hose this stove is just pegged gimbal [Music] ah we made that mark time to turn a little bit [Music] 20 degrees to port you got a pretty uh decent copy on you great well um thanks for coming out and saying hi we appreciate that and uh raven uh the weather is still blowing about 30 uh 30 to 35 out here uh but we're going fast and things are in good shape on board the person calling us on the radio they were on a handheld radio on shore on the on the beach on in virginia over there with a big antenna uh and he said hello he wanted to welcome us to the us and he is in a marina that's just around the corner from the bridge it's the closest one to the entrance of the ocean and he wants to buy us uh either one or two nights at the marina if if we want to stop in and check in rest and then we can carry on look it's america you can see virginia land ho oh no land ho land we sailed to america [Music] i always have to get onto the dock without hitting a fish fish from the fish pot without any major catastrophes and then i'll be able to take a deep exhale and probably go to sleep [Music] [Applause] [Music] so [Music] oh my god we just tied up it was pretty hectic uh but brian did a great job driving yeah he did and we had so many people helping us on the dock which was super nice they guided us into this marina helped us tie up brought us beer and a corona kit so we have masks really a pleasure to meet you guys yeah nice to meet you too will you be around tomorrow or what are you doing tomorrow come back bye okay i gotta tell you the story how i tried your dallas road oh really yeah oh shoot okay through here i think a few people have dipped into that bottle so within a matter of two hours we go from bashing our brains out at sea to having a dock space to having a car to drive and to having chinese food to eat now how crazy is that we're moving pretty fast here we are back to drink oh yeah and we got beer too uh i have no idea the kindness of people in this world it just literally it blows me away yeah and we might have overdone it on the chinese food negative ghost rider we ordered the appropriate amount nugget agrees yeah look she's so hungry she's eating her shoe hi delos tribe hope you enjoyed that bumpy ride don't miss next friday's episode as dallas goes out of the water and we dive deep into some boat work beaufort is not uh he's not our friend nugget wants attention monkey wants attention it just got real oh the batteries finished on this one god dang it yeah so uh we can talk why do you always interrupt behind the plum gray sierra enjoying this weather jesus [Music] no don't stop on my account you were just emptying the chore like a crazy person here we
